I actually dream of projects to make sometimes at night when I'm sleeping, and this is one of those projects! I was digging around out in the workshop looking to find the place where a little bird was making her nest yesterday and I came across a bucket of shell casings from our son's target shooting. How could I recycle them? I guess I went to sleep thinking about that and I've been working with a lot of pearls lately, so this just popped into my mind. I went straight to work making it this afternoon. It's one of my favorite pieces ever; I love so many things about it-the edgy quality, both in the idea of the bullets (gunshot residue included!) and the look of the hammered metal, the dichotomy of the bullets and pearls, and just the overall look of the piece. I know this is going to be the perfect statement piece for some lady who appreciates all of these characteristics as much as I do! As always, it's made with mixed metals (to include gunmetal eyelets!) and it's strung on a 30" polished black leather cord. #edgyjewelry #bullets #pearls
