Corrugated Life Roots Pendant

Description

The corrugated life series celebrates and immortalizes the transitory phases in the life cycle of corrugated cardboard. By handcrafting in metal tiny replicas of this machine made product, I hope to create modern talismans empowered by the sacredness of our rubbish.

The root or drainage pattern I cut in the top layers of corrugated brass and fused silver make this pendant special. I fused a small amount of turquoise and red enamels in the groove, and made a whimsical bail using two of my foldformed sterling silver leaves. It has been oxidized and selectively polished to accentuate texture and color contrasts between the metals. The back of the pendant is entirely sterling silver and has an interesting pattern and a very smooth texture.

The sterling silver neckwire is 16" and is oxidized. If you would prefer 18", just make note of that in the "notes to seller" section while checking out.
