Triangular...

Recently I am VERY into triangles and I thought I might share a page from my fashion sketchbook as one source for why triangles are radical.

See below Vung Vung Masks of the New Britain people. 

Triangles, like, whoa!

Below are pictured two hollow handmade sterling silver triangles which were destined to be earrings for me to wear to my Saturday evening activities, well, friends, my plans went kaboom literally when I was soldering the earring post to one of the triangles the triangle literally burst (...hot air expands...blah, blah, blah).  You can see where it burst in the picture below the triangle on the right.

So, future hollow triangle studs I plan to make( hopefully this week) will have to have a drillhole on the back...

Lesson for all you folks(mostly me) is to wear safety goggles during all metal working activities and also to not solder anything onto a hollow form IT WILL BURST unless there is an air hole...
