Obsessed!

I love jewelery.

Always have.

Store bought.

Homemade.

Antique or vintage.

Real diamond or silver pieces.

Trinkets.

I love, love, love 'em!

Last night I made two more necklaces to add to my collection.  It's getting a little out of control.

These are just the ones I've made!  Oh and might I add, I'm in love with  my new necklace holder.  It's a simple black curtain rod with curtain hooks to hold the jewelery.  Cost me all of $10!  The best part you might ask...  It hangs directly over my full body mirror and so when I'm trying on outfits I can match the colors to the jewelery before even putting it on.  Now has that for snazzy?

These are all of the remnants of my store bought pieces that I haven't cut apart and reused pieces of---yet, anyway!  They are tucked away in my jewelery box in an effort to force me to have to wear some of the pieces I've made.

Last night, I was playing around and accidentally made a unique connector.  I fell in love with it and of course decided to make an entire necklace using them.  I also tore apart a shirt I bought ages ago while working at Mervyn's and added these flat washer like beads to the mix.  It turned out wonderful.  

Totally terrible picture, I know, but I just couldn't get a good one that showed the detail.  This at least gives you an idea of the connectors and washer beads I used.

Alas, I've got an abundance of jewelery and even more beads awaiting transformation.  Is it time to sell?  Maybe custom orders?  Whatcha think?

Funny tidbit- Did you know there are three different ways to spell "jewelery", this spelling being the correct in the USA according to the Oxford Dictionary.
