Description:

So the object here is to find un-jewelery objects and turn them into jewelery, using findings and embellishments. There must be at least 1 found object in the piece (necklaces seem to be easiest as pendants can be made from anything,) but it can be embellished with beads, crystals, or jewelery findings. You can use things from the hardware store, other areas of the craft store.... a washed metal thing you found in a parking lot.... something you found at a garage sale.... but it must end up being something that you would wear yourself! No Trash and please wash all found items before transforming them!!!!! Newbies are welcome with at least 10 mailed swaps and have a 5 rating only with some hearts. If you don't fit the bill, don't sign up. Seasoned swappers with a 4.8 or better, no No Sends and no 1's or 3's in the past 6 months. This project takes vision, determination and a little soul, so I will be hunting down fish and banning. I'm leaving a lot of time to make this item because it may be a challenge. Stretch your artistic ability here and let's go!!! Search Etsy.com for found object jewelery... and ck this out for inspiration! http://www.etsy.com/viewlisting.php?listingid=24541344

Don't thank me yet jacksbluejane, I've just tried the links I put in the comments section and they don't work from here : ( Hmmm...no idea what's going on with the etsy links I gave because they work when I press the link I've taken and put on my desktop then when I tried the link in the comments section it didn't work : ( The best thing I can suggest is to go to the etsy website and search under ''sellers'' for ProfMaelstromme and simplywillow who both have some cool found object and steampunk inspired pieces. Also, put in an etsy search for found object jewellery and steampunk jewellery as alot of steampunk stuff is made with old watchparts and other salvaged metal bits. Hope this helps : )

Flickr also has some photos of interesting found object jewellery, so if you go to the flickr home page and then put in a search for ''found object jewellery'' you'll turn up some results. Here's a link to one but it might not work as I'm not having much luck when putting links in the comments section : ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/26413652@N08/3491014598/
