Copper with Resin Cosmic Eye Drawing Earrings
Your omniscient eye is upon the world with the assistance of these colorful earrings gazing out from your own personal space. For a long time I have made drawings of jewelry with eyes, and these are the first I have rendered. Each drawing features an eye that floats in front of a landscape background of trees, water, clouds and sky. Along the edges a colorful border pattern surrounds.
The drawings were made with prismacolor pencils, and once set, are protected beneath a layer of clear resin in the shape created by my copper bezels. I am interested in the unique color effects created when heat-treating copper, so while the bezels are polished before soldering, they are not afterward in order to incorporate the beautiful, natural look of this unique, rustic, and natural color effect.
Bails and lever back earwires are also copper. These colorful earrings measure about 1.25″ x 2. 5″, and each earring weighs 6g or 0.21oz. Except for the earwires, all conceived and handmade by Shauna Sopel.
