I created this lovely necklace from a bottle top embellished with copper wire wrapped and woven and a handmade charm from copper wire shaped like a bottle. This bottle top was found in Texas. The woven portion of the pendant I designed and made by wrapping a very fine wire around base wires of a larger size in a repeated pattern. It is intricate and beautiful. I added a patina to show the delicacy of the wire weave.
I strung this pendant on a copper ball chain that can be cut to fit.
Creating Trail Trash jewelry and art with discarded items is one of the ways I contribute to keeping trails clean and unspoiled. When you purchase one of these items you are helping me in my personal endeavors and I thank you!
Trail Trash jewelry takes many different forms, but usually involves items I find along trails or hiking paths - back country, rural and urban. I clean/prepare these items and use them to create unusual yet beautiful necklaces, earrings, bracelets or other works of art.
I have made every effort to eliminate sharp edges, rough areas, and any other imperfections that could cause injury of a person or clothing. It is nearly impossible to remove every bit of these defects so please take care when handing/wearing these items.
