Salvaged Materials For Art’s Sake

These earrings were made out of shotgun and .22-caliber shell casings by Spokane artist Lisa Maddux, who makes art from the objects she finds on hiking, camping and fishing excursions. Her materials include copper, clay, paper and driftwood as well. "Art for me has always been a bridge to life," she said. "When I create, I feel energy and a connection. It is a celebration of my life's journey through the world." SR story by Jennifer LaRue. More here.

Question: Describe the earrings you are wearing at the moment.
