Art Metals


These are some earrings that I made in my art metals class. They are made from shower curtain rods. I cut the circular balls off of the rods, and then cut the rods into these shapes you see, and soldered them all together. The top is nickel wire wove around the top of the rod, and then the balls are strung on the wire, and the earring stud is placed on top. These pieces were difficult to make because the balls are made of some type of metal that melts in really low heat, so they kept deforming, and I had to sand them down back into their original circular shapes.
