~ the process

I dumpster dive. A lot. My latest, greatest find was a bunch of copper viga covers from a recent home remodel. My lucky score!
I cut 'em, clean 'em up and torch enamel the pieces. The finished product is either sold as components or used in my own recycled line.

    Miss Darlene! I love, LOVE these earrings! The fact that you 'dumpster dived' to get the materials and then transformed them so brilliantly is genius! Thank you so much for joining me in the fun challenge. Hope to see you join in again! Enjoy the day! Erin

    Isn't is a shame how people throw out such valuable materials! It is so difficult to find pure copper in my country, just imported jewelry making materials. Love those enameled dangles, beautifully done!

    These are so great! I'm really impressed. I don't know what a viga cover is, but you certainly did something amazing with them. :)
