Old Tin Roof Dorrie's Dragonfly Earrings

Yukon artist, Esther Winter has combined the warm tones of repurposed antique time with bright new metals to create this unique jewelry.

The antique tin was originally a four gallon "Imperial Gasoline Can", in the 1920's. The can was flattened and repurposed to make a roof for a log cabin. Ten years ago, the cabin had to be dismantled because is was leaning precariously, Esther saved the rood and has repurposed it a second time in this beautiful jewelry.

These earrings feature a textured 1.8 cm x 2.3 cm copper dragonfly resting on a flat 1.6 cm x 2.1 cm recycled antique oval tin. These are suspended from 2 cm sterling silver ear-wires.

Handcrafted in the Yukon, Canada.
