We call that "upcycling" in the Etsy jewelry world (that one sold last year). So while I have the jewelry listed in my shop organized quite well (especially for me)...
and the jewelry waiting to be photographed and listed waits in a fairly organized manner as well...
The "shabby chic" stuff is kind of piled into containers where it sits for months waiting for me to feel inspired to make something and give it a new life...
Yesterday I felt inspired and made this bracelet from a fabulous vintage 1950s brooch that had a small chip and a great bracelet that has lost most of its plating...
I wore it around the house yesterday to make sure it was comfortable and I'm afraid I might keep this one. I really like it. I'm also working on some new necklaces using my original photographs...
Trying to decide what kind of chains, whether or not I should add a little accent bead or charm or stamped metal with a quote or something. Should I try to combine some of those shabby chic vintage pieces on a chain with these photo squares? So many possibilities it is at times, overwhelming. What do you think? Suggestions? Do you like a particular image or think maybe one or more don't work well for a necklace?
Seriously, looking for some input from my bloggy peeps?
