here in Trash Towers, Loch Lomond, we deconstruct old costume jewellery, and recombine it with other stuff, to give it a second life! https://brash-trash.sumupstore.com/

It's something about the texture and the circles, I think..

Beautiful shape!

This is nice, very tactile.
My husband is a casual collector of mid century glass, mainly vases, so I recognise some of your maker names, like Boda. Were they once, or did they become, Kosta Boda?

These take me back.. when I was a child in the 60s/70s glasses like these were still very common, lots of households had similar ones ๐Ÿ™‚

What a stunning piece, and a great colour!

This reminds me of Cornish Troika pottery somehow!

That's really cool, it looks like an icicle!

I've just got myself a stone tumbler! So it's off to the loch in 2 degrees to pick up wet pebbles with very cold fingers ๐Ÿฅถ

Yesterday's creations, and they need names! The earrings are giving me vaguely Art Deco vibes. Mabel? Dorothy? What do they look like to you? ๐Ÿ™‚

These are so, so good! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with in 2025 ๐Ÿ™‚

These are Short Green Moira. I need to work on my names! They're a variation on a previous design - Moira - which was longer and less green... ๐Ÿ˜

"Aouda"... Most of me enjoyed making these. My arthritic fingers didn't, but I like the effect, so suck it up, knuckles - we'll be doing more ๐Ÿ˜

Well, I had a go at wire weaving for the first time last night. I think it's finished, and I'm reasonably pleased at how it turned out. Going to try some DIY verdigris though - has anyone stuck their shiny copper jewellery into tomato feed? What happened?!

Hello bluesky!
I'm a new venture, attempting to turn a hobby into cold hard cash ๐Ÿ˜„
I don't know where all the makers are on this platform, but I'm sure I'll find some of you - and hopefully some buyers too!
Drop in and say hi ๐Ÿ˜Š
