Playing with silver.

Oxydised earrings in sterlig silver with an AB swarovski crystal .

I hammered them for a little distressed look.

Changes

I've always been interrested in re-using things if possible.
A good friend og mine bought an old house and I helped her redoing the house before they moved in. In front of the old woodburner there was a hammeres coppersheet.
I asked them if I could have it when they were going to throw it out. They looked at me and asked if i was going to use it under my woodburner??
I said no, they asked again. "What are you going to use it for?" My answer was: "Jewellry".
They just looked at each other, and you could allmost read their mind "crazy woman". But they said "yes".
I've decided to make a heart pendant today. It has been a long time since I*ve made anything with beads and metal. But I had a lovely time for my self  and enjoyed making this. Of course it isn't difficault to make. But the difficault stuff isn't always the things one likes.
So this is my contribution to the craftworld today. Old "useless" stuff can be turned into beautiful things with a little care and elbow-greace.
Have a lovely saturdaynight :)
