Wing Studs
2.25 x 1 x 1.25 cm
sterling silver
These studs are made out of 20 gage silver sheeting using a saw and a metal hammer for texturizing. I then dome them using a dapping block, solder on posts and polish and file by hand to finish.
Making wearable art comes out of a desire of creating beautiful things and the joy of connecting with people. The artist uses quality sterling silver and is always inspired by the natural beauty, colours and textures of Beautiful British Columbia, as well as the city of Vancouver, where she lives. She is mostly attracted to symbols and simpler, geometric forms like the perfect shape of a circle that can have added beauty by being broken and formed into a new organic shape, just as it happens in nature.
