Project number three changed a bit from the over-all design. The diamond shape was riveted on to one side instead of in the middle because I liked the overall shape of the piece better when the plexi-glass diamond echoed the shape of the epa symbol. The pin back was made of tubing and music wire. The catch was in the same shape as the front of the pin.
Projects can be redone if completed on time. This piece would benefit from some redoing. The list is as follows:
-The pin back catch needs to be shaped better so that it follows the straight line of the music wire.
-Some etching on the back of the pin would be nice so that it is a little more interesting than it is at the present.
-The images behind the plexi look sloppy. Samples done with super glue as an adhesive looked ok, but when just pieces of the acetate that the patterns were done on were glued down the glue became visible and the images appear sloppy. The plexi needs to be redone in layers, with a neater method of attaching the images implemented.
-The edge of the plexi needs to be beveled for a nicer look.
-Some edges of the metal part are rough or have visible saw marks, these areas need to be addressed.
