unbelievable.
well last year i saw some of nick caves soundsuits on display in a gallery.. crazy amazing dr suess-esque things.
and last night i saw a live performance with the suits.. mind blowing. i wish there was a way to fully share what i saw but it was one of those you had to be there kind of things.
his work is quite amazing.
and some of my horrible attempts to capture last nights magic...

granulated rings.
finally finished with the project of teaching myself granulation, and lemme tell ya.. its much much harder than it looks to fuse metal together without solder and without melting everything.
but.. i ended up with two simple little rings so im happy.

two jacks.
jack skellington - the nightmare before christmas.
pirate - james and the giant peach.
nightmare came first.. so i assume the pirate was a throwback to jack?

did you know.
to extract enough gold to make one ring there is an excess waste of 2 TONS of rock.
so by recycling and melting down just one ring, 2 tons of rock waste are saved.

praying to the granulation gods.
granulation: the process of fusing tiny metal spheres of gold or silver to a surface of the same metal in a decorative pattern. It is an ancient technique that produces a beautiful, delicate effect.
for whatever reason.. i thought this would be a good idea to try it. wish me luck. and check out these pieces by Katherine Swift.
