The title of your article made me think of a creative take on the old saying “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade”. Will write up new saying ” when life gives you scraps, make jewelry 🙂 ” and look at for encouragement and inspiration. Thank you for sharing your work.

Thanks for the kind words.

Maxine, I connected the chains by looping them through the wire that was used to make the wrapped wire bail.

What an inspiration to start some autumn design work. I’ve been procrastinating this year, but I love the emotion of this piece…the broken shell, especially, evokes summer coming to an end, but is balanced with the charms holding the promise of the joy of the holiday seasons approaching. Even your photo setup enhances the pendant. Great job!

Awesome job! BTW, you are not the only one who won’t throw anything out. I am convinced it’s a gift…LOL!

The broken shell makes a really interesting rustic focal for this pendant – and all the other salvaged items work so well with it. You also did an ace job of coordinating the colors in this piece! Thanks so much for sharing!
