Plan:
(a)Find vintage items at flea markets.
(b)Enjoy the hunt.
(c) Use the finds to make simple jewellery pieces.
(d) Wear or sell said items.
Love hunting for junk in flea markets, garage sales and car-boot sales. I have heard that dogs love finding food in the street- even if it is not that nice- because of the thrill of the 'hunt'. I understand dogs.

Oh yes, the thrill of the hunt gets my heart racing. I saw one of your pieces on Pinterest today and it had a similar effect. It felt very tribal even though it was made from modern junk. Of course I pinned it. (Industrial found object necklace)
fantastic.. makes me want to go and dive in into flea market right away
Absolutely! I think I have enough found object supplies on hand for a lifetime but the search is so much fun!
Love these pieces.
And love hunting in flea markeds!
Great finds - put to great use. Yes, yes and yes - the hunting is the best part really! Nothing beats that sensation when you find something in an oppie that fires up your imagination and you can't wait to get home and make it into something!
There is nothing like a day at a good flea market and nothing makes me more thrilled than a good find. Love these pieces...especially the watch case!

Great vintage jewellery - cool idea! Vintage Necklaces
Great selection. You get to have fun three times -- first by sourcing out the objects, then by making the jewelry and then by wearing it!
These pieces are so exquisite. I just adore the raw steampunk feeling.
