Using a Christmas Gift

I was so excited to get a Micro Torch from my wonderful husband.  I have been playing most of the day in my studio and finished a couple things.  These are a couple things I finished.

 I had some heavy sterling wire, a tube and a broken pendant  . . . . and Viola! 


 I am so happy with my first attempt. 
After a bit of pounding, rummaging through some "treasures" I made another ring using a penny, sterling wire and ball bearings.  I like the esthetic but the best part is that is SPINS!!  WooHoo!
I can't wait to get back to it again tomorrow!

Art Piece

Okay, I have to say that this is a bit out of the ordinary, or way out but I absolutely love this! 
An art piece!

Automotive / Hardware Line ?

We I have been busy making lots of pretty things and then I went to the hardware store with my husband and found these clips and got some of my "junk" out and came up with these. 

I think the fuse necklace might work as a men's chain?  Not sure.

Project Accessory

I just finished watching "Project Accessory".  I think it is going to be a good show.  I thought it was kind of interesting how some of the designers really struggled with using materials that traditionally are not used for jewelry.  It is a bit easier to use precious silver,  gold and precious stones to make pretty things than household items.  Wonder what will be next?
