So while watching "The Voice" last night I decided to have a sort out of my jewellery findings & beads!! Oh my, talk about seriously under estimating the size of the job involved!! I've been collecting and wearing jewellery for as long as I can remember so have quite a lot...I also noticed I've a lot of broken pieces just bagged or boxed up! The reasoning behind it...the bits & pieces will always come in handy for something else!!
(As this is one of several boxes so I think I really need to watch a Hoaders programme or two, next LOL!!) Anyway after more fiddling I got the urge to actually make something as I kept finding bits that I'd bought for previous projects!! I found several kilt pins & lots of key chain clasps so after dismantling several old & broken pieces I decided to reuse the beads!!
Here's what I came up with...the first piece is a kilt pin made with various plastic beads in red & orange with a pink button & 3 metal charms...a feather, a birdcage & another charm in the middle that I've no idea what to call LOL!!
The next pieces are bag charms made in much the same way with various beads & findings from my collection reused & reappropriated. They all have a murano glass bead & at least 2 metal charms.
This next one has lots of lovely glass beads & is actually quite heavy but looks much better IRL...should really have waited for natural light to take better photos but you get the idea!!
Think I will spend the next few nights having a gradually sorting out & see what else inspires me. :))
Thanks for looking, let me know what you think & which one is your favourite!! Txx

Tara they are all gorgeous! However for me it has to be the turquoise blue one xx
Pretty - get sorting and making, and then I think you'll find you'll have a great market for buying them! x
Somehow I missed this when you originally posted it - they are all so lovely xx
