I don't know anything about guns, but I'm going to guess empty shot gun shells. Is that too wacky? Whatever it is, you've turned them into something very cool looking!
I never would have given it a thought if you hadn't asked! I seriously know so little about guns. But when I looked closely, bullet shells were the only thing I could think of. How do you do this?! They are marvelous!
(FYI--My first pairs of earrings were made from fishing lure parts! Give us ANYTHING, and we'll make jewelry!)
Hey Sharyl, Glad you like them...I am having a blast making them too. I am going to make a tutorial on how to make them hopefully before the end of the year. They actually are quite simple. I etch them in acid, then age them with liver of sulfur, and give them some shine! I will drop you a line once I get the tut made up. Not sure if I am going to put it up for free yet. But I do like to share...LOL
