We were asked by a Metal Arts Guild of Nova Scotia colleague to participate in a fund-raising event for the NS Symphony children's' programs. The challenge was to create a piece of art (whatever type you do) from a musical instrument.
I bummed a soon to be deceased acoustic guitar off of my buddy Dave. It was one that he had used for years while busking and had finally started to warp and deteriorate to the point where he either had to rebuild it or throw it. This solved his dilemma too.
The subsequent piece is the result of chisleling free the fret bars, pulling the g-string, some bits of guitar hardware, sterling silver and silver solder.
The fundraiser will open at the Fireworks Gallery in Halifax on October 4th.

My Goodness. If that isn't a shrine to a git fiddle, there never will be one. And Be blessed,'cause good causes will keep enriching that beautiful soul you have.
Thank you!
Oh wow, Cynthia! I love that guitar pendant. Excellent job, I really like the simplicity and control in the design. Wow.
