Tisha Abrahamsen | Untitled Earrings

Artist:  Tisha Abrahamsen

Materials: Mokume-gane, borosilicate glass

Dimensions: 1”x 1.5”

Origin of featured materials: Shining Wave Metals / Phillip Baldwin

Story behind the piece: The mokume-gane patterns are so beautiful, I wanted to make simple earrings with a clear glass focal point in the center to catch the eyes of the viewer so as to draw them in to appreciate the flowing lines of the mokume-gane.
