I love using found & re-purposed items in my designs. These are but a few of the ideas.

Conchos added to repurposed leather belt & buckle

I routinely wear my pieces, at least once, before adding them to my collection. This helps to assure that all clasps work and that the piece will lay correctly without snagging on clothing.

Often a piece will sell on their debut outing, before I manage to get photos of them.
