"Bing Necklace 1" of Recycled Aluminum Cans ~ 2 of 2 photos

"Bing Necklace 1" of Recycled Aluminum Cans ~ 2 of 2 photos by urbanwoodswalker.
Continued from last photo....

Necklace made of various aluminum cans, and 1 red pull tab. The charms are backed in EVA foam and the necklace is light as a feather.

This is just about my fav thing made this year. I have ADD and it sums up what my brain deals with every day. I named it "Bing" after those new TV search engine commercials ...I absolutely love that ad campaign about our 21st century society and information overload. It doesn't take much to over load me...but I have had nearly 53 years of practice now.

I pick up aluminum cans off the streets, and out of trash bins, bring home and wash throughly. Then I create something of value with them.

Best of all, NO sharp edges, extremely light weight, noise free, and comfortable because the charms were backed in EVA foam. EVA foam is "flip flop" shoe foam.

Yes, even though I have to remake it 4 times (very challenging) , and nearly cried out of frustration (EXTREMELY rare!), its one of my all time favorites.

What is EVA Foam?
"EVA" stands for Ethylene Vinyl Acetate which can be formulated into a closed cell foam product.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene-vinyl_acetate

Eva foam is used in ...mattresses, and furniture, and flip flops! :-) Its used in a LOT of modern items.
