The beauty of random objects

Ever had something you really wanted fall into your lap? I have an imaginary shopping list for craft materials in my head, and occasionally the thing I’m least expecting to obtain will be the thing that appears out of the blue. For some time I’ve longed for a hand full of beautiful vintage cut glass chandelier drops to make jewellery from, so I was chuffed to bits when a dear friend gave me these beauties, a whole bag of them, from her broken chandelier. They go so well with the selection of old keys I’ve amassed over the years. I’m going to be very busy making over the next couple of days, making necklaces for the shop.

    Thank you Anonybird, sometimes I’m not sure if the things I make would float anyone else’s boat, it’s always good to get a bit of feedback :)
