Silver fork necklace

These pendants are crafted from vintage and antique sterling silver forks. I cut, bend and shape the forks into twisted shapes. The tines of the forks remind me of octopus tentacles. I attach all kinds of beach treasure to them, such as beach glass, shells, pearls, sharks teeth, and starfish. At a art show last summer, one of my customers suggested I call them mermaid treasure.....What do you think?

recycle pop can jewelry





I am making a conscious decision to become more ecologically aware... This decision has led me to explore ways to create jewelry with recycled objects. I have been doing a lot of creative experimenting with different mediums (trash). I think that my most successful designs are the above pictured recycled soda can rings, ear rings and necklaces. This line is made from recycled pop and energy drink cans that are cut into flower shapes and wired together with a few glass bead embellishments. The pieces are light weight and whimsical with a nod to the enviroment. I am still trying to come up with a snappy name for this line. Any suggestions?
