I'm not much of a jewelry person - the only jewelry I wear constantly is a pair of sterling hoop earrings I purchased on Portabella Road in London 12 years ago - but the occasional funky/vintage pin is not uncommon. Something about this metal spoke "necklaces" to me.
As is the case, this idea ruminated for a while...and in the meantime, I unearthed quite a collection of metal fishing lures...now here was some well-loved metal...all sorts of shapes, sizes and colors - with very interesting connectors - aka - spinners.
With my new worktable in place, it was easy to gather all the interesting pieces together - old keys, fishing lures, spinners, metal clock hands, ball chain, discarded costume jewels...
I picked up these embossed washers - thought they would be a perfect accent...
I got out some wire and my needle-nose pliers and went to work...
The end results...
Now these aren't any great jewels...just a fun/funky piece to wear...I love the different textures and finishes. Believe me, My Brown Wren (a favorite jewelry artist!) you have nothing to fear from me treading on your territory!
I had a couple of stray silver chains; I paired up the more delicate chain with the clock hands.You'll be able to find these charming adornments at my space at Faded Elegance...now back to creating...what else I can find around here to throw into the mix...
