More Bottle Cap Earrings

I went a little nuts last evening and made a bunch more…

I’ve been saving bottle caps for years….as well as having others give them to me. I went through and found the ones I had pairs of. I still have a few more pairs but they’d look better with gold findings.

When I was a kid, my dad had a huge collection from all the bottled pop he drank. Bummer…it was thrown away 20+ years ago. There would have been some really fun ones in there!!

These ones with the phrases in them are fun. You could totally mix and match these depending on your mood.

I love it that they’ve been saving them for me!! One persons trash is another one’s treasure!!

Bracelet for a friend

Not being Catholic, I had to look up what the medal meant when I found it. It’s called the Miraculous Metal.
Here’s a little blurb from the site I looked it up on.

There is no superstition, nothing of magic, connected with the Miraculous Medal. The Miraculous Medal is not a “good-luck charm”. Rather, it is a great testimony to faith and the power of trusting prayer. Its greatest miracles are those of patience, forgiveness, repentance, and faith.

The hummingbird also has powerful meaning in her life.

I hope she likes the colors I’ve choosen.

Thanksgiving morning necklace

I confess, I procrastinate. BIG TIME. Lucky for me, I work fast under pressure.

I recently found this choker necklace at a thrift store and had to have it. Of course, I hate chokers. Heck, I can’t even stand a turtleneck collar but I saw the potential of it being repurposed.

Now after my quick change up I have a necklace and pair of earrings. Only then did I realize that one of my earring holes had partially grown closed…OUCH!

Spoon pendant

I’ve been finding all kinds of interesting little treasures lately. Such as a sterling spoon that had no handle. I put the stub of the handle in the vise and slowly started working it into a loop.

I love steampunk so I used some gears and the heart goes with the word LOVE. The heart is from an earring. Next time I try something like this I want to use resin. This was Diamond Glaze, which I’m pretty sure isn’t supposed to be used as I tried.

It is a fun little piece though. No mistakes… just opportunities to learn.
