Earrings - "Helios and the Girl"
“Mother Nature seldom gives us perfectly straight lines or flawlessly shiny surfaces. Mother Nature is best at being raw, visceral and atmospheric.”
These earrings were inspired by the best of Mother Nature’s gifts.
COMPONENTS: Roughly scratched, hammered and holed raw brass sunbursts suspend dangles including faintly blue semi-circles and charming little brass drops. This “scene” is “framed” by a brass oval, hammered and altered for a more authentic feel. All of the brass components are also covered in the Grand Manan Patina - one I achieved by applying to them different natural ingredients and then leaving them in the open, salty air of the Island, to “age”. The patina is raw - meaning that there will be slight alternations in it from time to time - as if the metal were alive.
Suspended from stainless steel, handmade earwires. You have a choice here (see last photo):
Option A - Kite Stainless Steel with plastic backs
OR
Option B - Almond Stainless Steel with closure - please select at CHECKOUT
When I play in my workshop on the island, time often stops. I am in “flow”. I frequently take off my watch and put it away in a drawer, because time is of little to no relevance to what I am doing and what I feel. I am aware of the day’s progress because Helios (the sun) accompanies me as the hours pass - coming in through the tall windows and enlivening the ocean with its shimmers, sparkles and cloud shadow-play. On days like those, it’s just Helios and the Girl.
DIMENSIONS: Overall length (from top of earwire to lowest part of earrings) 2 1/2”, 6.3cm - slightly longer if selecting Option B for earwires.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Do not submerge the earrings as that may alter the patina. If the earrings get wet, dab the moisture away gently with tissue.
FREE SHIPPING - This item will ship from either New Brunswick or Ontario.
