Alexander Calder...The Challenge

As part of my Etsy Metal Team, we have monthly challenges in which we can participate in for fun.

This months challenge was to create a piece of jewelry inspired by the work of Alexander Calder....an incredible genius.

This was my inspiration piece


And this was my finished product


I was sort of trying to emulate the entire photo of the inspiration. Meaning, I tried to re-create the head and shoulders of Angelica, as well as the forged neckpiece. I hope it came through!


Brass disc, Sterling Wire, Oxidized and Antiqued.


What a fun way to step outside the box and get the creative juices flowing!
