Jumpin' on the Jewelry Bandwagon!

There are so many talented and inspiring jewelry makers today that I have found out there in "blogland"!!! They have really sparked my interest and got my creative juices all stirred up! I have started a few of my own re-purposed jewelry projects just in time for the flea market and antique/crafts fair that I have looming on the horizon!
I have been having some fun with keyholes...and I love these rusty, crusty ones especially!

I am a bracelet person, and have purchased many in the past at shops and various sales I've been to. I look at them and say "I could make that!"

Well, here are my versions and attempts...
I took an old charm bracelet with not-so-pretty charms and added some new beads and old buttons
in their place ~ and I like the way this turned out!!

Here is another version ~ just old buttons on this one... A little black, a few rhinestones and some fun plastic too!


I think I'm hooked!!

I will give these a try at my upcoming events and see how it goes.
But who knows~maybe you'll see them back here again ~ only next time they'll be for sale!!

Picked up another little jarful the other day and had fun picking and sorting!!

Looks like some seed for future projects!!

I think these will add just a little touch of "BLING"!!!

Thanks to all those of you who are willing to share your creativity so unselfishly!!

YOU inspire me everyday and therefore.....


Just Added: I decided to edit this post so I could participate in the linky party over at Common Ground!! {you inspire me too, Debra!!}
