manipulating metal.

Last semester I decided to take a jewelry and metals class. I have always been a huge fan of metal and was curious to how people were able to work with such a strong material. Rivets, texture hammers, torches, sinking, and many others were terms I had never even heard of in my entire life. The transition from and cutting cardboard with your x-acto knife to annealing a sheet of metal with a torch was intimidating at first but I was able to get used to it in no time.

Our first official project in that class was to create a series of earrings made out of copper sheet with a concurrent theme. Since my style is very geometric and I like making very sharp things it was a bit of a challenge designing three pairs of earrings that would not stab your neck or severely wound you. I was able to design and create something wearable but at the same time made something I was proud of. Here are some photos of my final product. Hope you like them!!!
