Description

The .223 Remington (5.56×45mm) is a cartridge that is ballistically in between its predecessors, the .222 Remington, and the .222 Remington Magnum. The .223/5.56 was developed to fit the action length of the new M16 service rifle. The .223/5.56 quickly became popular as a civilian cartridge because of the availability of brass, and the chambering of commercial varmint rifles in that caliber. Shortly after military acceptance of the M16, the semi-automatic version, the AR-15 became available, making the .223 cartridge even more popular.

These artisan glass pieces are individually crafted using found objects with a zero waste philosophy in mind.

The glass bullet in this piece is created from black, white and clear latticino set in a .223 cartridge.

Glass fills the entire length of each casing creating a very realistic weight.

 Each is a one of a kind handcrafted work delivered ready to wear with the chain shown in these actual photos. Cotton muslin gift and storage pouch is included.

This piece includes a 22″ steel ball chain necklace and pouch.

Some of these up cycled shell casing have been gifted to the studio by local friends or I personally hand-picked it in the deserts of Belen, New Mexico.

I consider myself an avid rock-hound and simply could not resist these beautiful brass findings out there! I knew they’d come in handy – eventually!.
