What Inspires You?

Recently, I was lucky enough to receive a big bag of necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc. from a friend of mine who acquired them from an estate sale.  She said that when she saw these treasures she immediately thought of me and what I might do with them.  Well, let me just say that I've been having a blast!  She is a HUGE advocate for recycling herself--she recently wrote a children's book on the subject entitled  Recycling with Arnie and Bing.  Check out her website for more info.
Ok, back to the beads....here's what I received....

Can you see why I was so excited?  Here's what I've made so far...


All of these items are for sale via Artfire, Zibbet, and soon on Bonanza. There's a few more that I haven't listed yet.  It's been great fun to create the new from the old all while saving the earth at the same time!  I think that Arnie, Bing and my friend Ann would be proud.
