Making something fun and unique out of objects headed to the landfill or found in the "last-chance" heap at Goodwill is one of my passions. I call my pieces "guilt-free glamour," because as an artsy person and an environmentalist, I'm always trying to find the balance. With found materials, I can tinker all I want without feeling guilty.
Some of my favorite rescues are bottle caps, tins (previously used for teas, chocolates, and the like), aluminum, vintage hardware, rusted wire and barn siding (paired with vintage pearls), vinyl records, and CDs. Hopefully, you’ll be surprised and delighted by the transformation from junk to jewelry.
