Junque Jewelry

Another story that starts, "a funny thing happened while I was cleaning my studio...." .

I opened a small, battered, cardboard box and found a tangle of forgotten junk jewelry that I had bought in a lot months ago, "just because". None the of the necklaces looked very fashionable by themselves, so I thought I would try the gypsy excess look and put all of the pendants on one chain. More is more when less is not. hee hee. The toy shoe had a giant hole through the heel and as it happened, the ring from a round metal edged tag worked perfectly as a rough, industrial looking jump ring. The shoe makes the necklace, I think. The cross didn't quite work in the necklace so it's on its own chain to wear so the other charms dance around it as the central focus. How I prefer it anyway.





I'm not normally into jewelry making, but now I have a reason to collect more junk jewelry. Like I NEEDED a reason!
