Just a quick footnote on the new website: www.warejewelrystore.com. I learned a little about photography and practiced photographing the work on glass! The pictures are more three dimensional and show the work a little better than my old method! Always something to learn!

Photos of some of the recent additions to "CRUSH," the recycled jewelry project by me, Carol Ware. I am experimenting with more colors, shapes and soon textures! Right now, these pieces are in square tubes, cylinders, flat squares and small and large discs. The variety of colors is from the cans. My current fave is the Pellogrino Limonata. The yellows and blues from the cans remind me of atlas pages which I love. Also fun are the Coke Zeros because they are black on a black neckwire-if only I were going somewhere in a little black dress rather than the usual grungy black t-shirt.

"CRUSH" - cw

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!
