| The skull matched the dark depths of the scavenged LCD screen. I thought a silver clock face and a spot of red were good accents. |
This isn't my usual style, but I needed something to offset the black square and a skull worked nicely. For some reason I felt all goth that day. Maybe it's just my attempt to balance the "natural tones" pieces that I'm making at the same time.
This piece is comprised of an upcycled LCD screen I scavenged from a teardown. It had a spooky, dark depth to it. And the screen becomes semi-transparent when a strong backlight is put behind it. I thought the black-and-white skull looked like it was floating on a pool of darkness.
I could never find a use for the silvery chrome clock faces before since most of my jewelry has a kind of antique or steampunk look. But the silver seemed to match the theme well.
And I had some old buttons I had scavenged from
a calculator. The red color made the piece pop a little, and the glue distorted the printed cross just enough to make it cool. Glad I could finally repurpose these parts.
I'm also trying to incorporate some pretty and glittery things, some canvas and some actual plant materials. We'll see how it goes, and I'll post more samples as I complete them.
