Featuring a collection made entirely from a thin copper sheet and repurposed welding rod found rummaging through my studio during the pandemic. When times for material searching was limited I resorted to going back to my library of materials I had held onto for once inspiration struck . The sheet was originally found in the little town of Wallace, Idaho in an abandoned old brothel and gifted to me by a studio mate. The metal was so soft I could free form it into the bended shapes you see in the necklaces with my hands after cutting. Techniques: sawing, soldering, hammer forming, tumble polish. Other materials: solder, Argentium silver
