One example of "CRUSH," a jewelry project by Carol Ware. One aluminum can is crushed with a lot of force and formed in to a geometric shape: disc, square tube, square, cylinder, etc. The sound of them crushing is kind of exhilarating. After crushing, more work and voila! Check out http://carolkaryl.bigcartel.com/ to see the variety! The only bummer of this project is that I now buy beer in cans-ick-and my defeat of the Coca Cola habit is a thing of the past. We are recycling cans from friends, job sites, etc. as well. I need to find a friend who drinks the Red Bull shots-I have an earring idea!
