In the Quarter of Mutation in Human Design, purpose is fulfilled through Transformation. This series is exploring how the tiniest scraps of old abandoned tins can be transformed into objects of desire.
Each piece is hand cut, edges filed and finished smooth, riveted and tabbed to a piece of backing tin. The backing tin is then shaped into the scalloped edge frame. The final construction is riveted to a length of waxed steel wire and surgical stainless steel ear wire finishes the look.
The finished earrings are approximately 1.25" (30mm) wide and hang about 2.5" (60mm) from the ear.
Each piece of metal comes to me having lived a previous life--in some cases multiple lives! It is not unusual for the material to sometimes have scuffs, scratches, faded portions, and general wear and tear. If a flawless finish is important to you, please zoom in to the pictures here to look for imperfections that might be distracting for you.
All adaptive reuse pieces come to you neatly displayed on an upcycled card and sustainably wrapped ready for gift-giving.
Please contact me if you have any other questions.
