{"title":"Rita Tucker Creations","description":"\u003cp\u003eI craft jewelry, each piece a unique creation. Currently, I’m moved to craft jewelry and other fun items out of recycled materials. Beverage cans, copper sheets, copper wire, watch parts and broken jewelry pieces such as metal and beads are very fun to incorporate into something new and different. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy favorite process is working with copper.

I have handmade the primary focal point of each necklace, bracelet or pair of earrings using a variety of medium, such as metal, wood and glass and a variety of methods. My methods include wood carving, metal smithing, metal etching, fusing glass, enameling, wire weaving, kiln firing precious metal clay, or inlaying tiny tiles and pieces of glass in a mosaic fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"razzberry-peace-tea","title":"Razzberry Peace Tea Earrings","description":"\u003cp\u003eStriking dangling earrings made from an upcycled Razzberry Peace Tea can, shaped into elegant trapezoids and finished with a copper plate wrap.
