Earrings - "Summer Currents"
“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: In these feminine earrings, I combined different shapes and textures to invoke a natural, rustic look. I achieved a pop of colour with the aid of little lilac glass crystals, encased in brass. All of the brass components are 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. I added tiny brass circles for more movement.
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
DIMENSIONS: Overall length (from top of earwire to lowest part of earrings) 2 7/8”, 7.3 cm - slightly shorter if selecting Option A for earwires.
When the Sun is at its zenith, warm summer currents envelop Grand Manan Island, above the ocean’s surface and below, giving life and sustenance to Mother Nature’s bounty - giving spirit to the island and its inhabitants. If you stand still on a high shore somewhere on the island, accept the silence, and let your eyes and ears relax and take over, you will hear and see those currents and understand their life-giving force.
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.
