The third in our Etsy Metal challenges. This week its time to bring in the trash. The challenge was to find some garbage and make something of it. Two little piggies that we are, this is our meat n' tatters.

It just happened to be garbage day when we started this challenge. So, just to up the anty on ourselves, we limited ourselves to whatever we could find at the neighbor's curbside art supply.

As luck would have it, the guy two houses down was reflooring his bedroom with bamboo. This left a shitload of small bamboo scraps for us. We love America.

We also like to play with fire. What would happen if we took a soldering iron to the bamboo, we thought to ourselves? Magic!

A little carving, a little burning and Viola! Bamboo hearts.

Sterling silver, bamboo, bad habits.
