transforming little bits

so my friend gave me some random pieces of faux leather that were hanging from the zipper of her new purse. i decided they were perfect for some sort of craft. the "leather" is really cool. it has this bronze crackled finish and it's brown underneath. i recently bought some studs and i used the flat circle ones for this project....i turned them into earrings! i also made another black and silver pair of earrings today. i used black leather from an old purse, pyramid studs and vintage chains. i have listed the black pair in my etsy shop. and the bronze ones will come later... whatever ones her and i don't keep!

etsy treasury

hi! my messy fringe necklace has been included in a treasury. yay, i love it when that happens! here is a few pics and one of my friend ashley modeling it. i'm slowly working on more necklaces i'll put up soon. i'm working on getting some crystals and geodes to include in my designs. i've always been attracted to those and even more lately.
adios!
