    This was one of the first original pieces I made.  I bought the string of the yellow orbs because I hoped the biggest one could be used to replace a knob for a pot lid.  The hole was too small, so I decided to make a necklace.  It seems a little too much with all…

    This was the first wreath I ever made.  The learning curve was pretty good; I later found out how tinsel can help fill the holes, where I just kept adding more ornaments.  It is a 16″ wreath, which made it very heavy.  Tragically, it fell down from the wall where I was storing it and…

    This was a tie pin of my grandfather’s.  Once you take off the pin part, it turns into a nice option for a necklace.  Metal glue and a spacer bar and I made a fun necklace.         Related Images:

    This was the first monster wreath I made.  I had seen the project online (link below) and was itching to do it myself.  I made this for my cousin, as a wedding shower present.  Blue and gold for the colors of Notre Dame, where they met.  I learned to trim the sides a little, and…

    My grandfather died and I received a nice cufflink/jewelry box filled with cufflinks and tie pins.  None of the men in my family wanted them (we are not really a cufflink kind of family) so I debated a lot about what to do with all of it.  This pair was really pretty, blue glass stone…

    This wreath was made as a friend’s baby shower present.  It could be used as a sort of announcement when the baby arrived.  After that, remove the ribbon for a Halloween wreath.  The baby (now a toddler) refers to it as “Cookie Monster”.   Related Images:

    This necklace was made from one of my favorite earrings.  I lost one (probably at Office Depot) but I could not bear to get rid of the other one.  Not for sale       Related Images:

      My aunt was entering a convent, so I made a little something for her to take with her as a reminder.  I made this angel using a necktie and a bowtie of my grandfather’s and jewelry and some bits and bobs of my grandmother’s.   This was made using a foam cone.  It is…

    My job involves a lot of talking on the phone.  Posted earrings tend to dig into my head so I almost exclusively wear drop earrings.  As such, the earring I make are on hooks.    There is also a lost and find, where many single earrings end up.  So I turn those earrings into necklaces.…
