Where do you find this stuff?
How do you get your ideas?
May I show you?
My favorite shopping grounds are salvage yards, garage sales and friends junk drawers.
This often means cutting them apart into reasonably sized pieces. The Dremel tool is a very handy accessory for this purpose.
These are a few of the finished products.
Free Flight made of vintage watch band and gears. |
Hearts Amulet made from an old wrist watch case. |
Fleur de Lis made from an antique door knob. |

Bonnie, thanks for the peek into how you make your fabulous pieces. I really admire your vision - the ability to see how all the different and unusual parts can be turned into jewelry is not something all of us have.
ReplyDeleteWow, super pieces. Very unique. Love them.
ReplyDeleteWHen I try to do the reclaimed salvage jewellery it tends to look like a junk pile! I admire people who can do it though!
ReplyDeleteI too have asked the question on where do you get your awesome pieces from - now I know! Beautiful work Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I have to admit I have wondered as well ;-)
