This Artist's Work Is Beautiful, But The Material He Uses Is Even More Impressive
Australian artist and welder Moerkey, as he's known on Etsy, is admittedly a bit of a hoarder - we'll call him an avid collector though, for the sake of courtesy. And as a collector, he knows, more than anyone, the truth in the saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure." And the "trash" he collects, he takes and turns into absolute collector's items.
“When I was supposed to be cleaning out my shed, I came across some old copper pipe saved from a previous renovation. I cut it up into rings and started making it into spheres," Moerkey says on his Etsy page.
“The first ones were a bit rough but once I worked out the technique I got creative.â€
Keep in mind, each key is bent and shaped individually.
