Recent Acquisition

Sometimes I get a little carried away on ebay. Sometimes its totally worth it though! Check out this lot of antique Victorian hardware I just scored. I'm almost finished making a necklace out of one of the wooden handles, pics coming soon! I did some silver pique inlay in the wood and made a chain...its really simple but it was fun to do. I love taking old things with such a sense of history and making them into wearable little treasures.

Ebay Scores

Lately in my work I have been altering found objects such as old silver platters and trays. I found these two items on Ebay today and was lucky (or frivolous) enough to make them mine.

What I am going to do with them is still a mystery. But, you see the potential...right?

The top one is a little pincushion with sterling silver tray base, and this one below is an antique metal frame, but the glass is a convex curve! I am really excited about this one:)

Now, let the brainstorming begin.
