An Art Hive is a community art studio that welcomes everyone as an artist. From an art pop-up in a local library to a community studio or gallery, at its heart, an Art Hive is about inclusion, respect and learning. It's a welcoming place to talk, make art and build communities. Responding in creative ways to things that matter.

First an idea. Then the drawing. Then realization. Created in Rhino from scratch using curves, extrusion, and capping, with cabochons and beading using array along the curve. No AI then, Just imagination, design, and craftsmanship. When you learn the tools anything is possible. The key is to try the tools and addons. Blender has wonderful addon called JewelCraft https://blender-addons.org/jewelcraft/. Spend just a few minutes a day learning it and in no time you will be creating wonderful designs. Some say I really don't need jewelry in virtual but when you replicate your grandmothers ring or learn to do that for others it is wonderful. I once created a book locket and a grandmother's ring for someone those are my most fond memories. Thank you for the requests. I was asked have I tried MeshyAI in jewelry creating, not yet but I have played a bit with MeshyAI and yes I see how it can create wonderful mesh parts for jewelry virtually, not so much for RL jewelry. I recently 3d printed in wax my Peace for Ukraine Pendant and the detail is really nice, the next step is lost wax casting. Give jewelry creating a try, having a ton of fun!!

MazebzOS_AVX2-8-0-0-261400139 released
https://maze.bz/mazebzviewer.zip This one I went back to the texture picker again. I made a toggle between the big way and the old small way. I made it so if you stretch the firestorm one that it now remembers that for all panels till you do it again. So no more hidden titles from the huge textures ever ever again. If you want the texture bigger just hit the check mark where it says compact, open it again and boom HUGE texture.
