Waterwheel Earrings
Sterling silver
American mined turquoise
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My first-hand experience of the power behind the functional beauty of a well-crafted waterwheel has carried over into these stamped earrings. Each process requires energy to flow, and once the wheel, or my own two hands, are set into motion — craft becomes art.
A scary moment translated into beautiful wares. Kindred spirits if you will.
Oxidized then burnished to make a well balanced finish, so they shine.
Made with recycled sterling - one of a kind, twisted, bent, set, sawn, stamped, fired by my own two hands.
Part of the proceeds from this collection will go to the Chattooga Conservancy to help keep the Chattooga River wild and scenic.
