During the last few years, 3D printers have opened up a whole new world involving the tools that can be used for jewelry and accessories, because the sky's the limit in terms of the shapes that can be designed, customized, and printed.
Day by day we notice people who work with polymer clay and their creations stand out because their ingenuity transcends the world of designing jewelry into the world of designing their tools. Some polymer clay artisans have also started to use 3D printing to make their own custom plastic cutters, enjoying the freedom to easily experiment and come up with something new and unique.
Andrea Ďuďajová lives in Bratislava, Slovakia, and has always had a passion for art and creativity. Her main job is as an architect and although she loves designing buildings, she found another hobby that fills her with joy: creating and making things with her hands, especially jewelry and hair accessories from polymer clay and resin. She first started creating polymer clay jewelry in 2010, just for fun, and shortly this activity became one of her favorite hobbies.
“All of the pieces I make are individually designed, sculpted, and painted with acrylic paints,” reveals Andrea about the accessories she creates. The paint is carefully sealed under a layer of resin carefully applied.
Besides making jewelry, Andrea also designs her own polymer clay cutters, silkscreens, and other tools she uses in her work.
Taking a closer look at Andrea’s work we can notice that her pieces have clear lines, and ingenious shapes and every piece has a professional finish. Among the pieces, we saw in her gallery, the animal brooches and the “Little Prince” collection were among our favorites.
