    :rotfl::rotfl:Sorry just got to share this with you all, it made me smile :rotfl::rotfl: Some of you may remember me telling you a couple of weeks ago about a lady at work being a little childish with me & saying I was copying her just because I asked where she got her resin from! Well while on Folksy I thought I'd check out the new makes from my saved sellers (as you do) & low & behold shes started selling tiles with old stamps on...just like I have! mmmm....other thing is she doesn't talk to me or make any effort to at work...oh well I will though :D
    :rotfl: that made me smile too :rotfl:
    Here is my little offering for this weeks challenge. This was made from two old broken necklaces and some pearls snipped off an old broken purse. I actually like this and think I might make earrings to go with it as I would wear this. Anyhoo enough waffling from me here it is:

    Kandipandi, that really is beautiful, I love it :T:T

    here is my challenge entry this week. It looks better in person, there is loads of tiny detail in the frame with loads of little watch pieces.

    I have 'upcycled' and old watch by taking it apart and setting it in a bronze frame with a butterfly charm. i have also reused a rose bead I made and another large butterfly charm from another necklace.

    Nic I love that it's very steampunk with the watch bits. Lovely.

    :j:j Oooh thanks Crafty JuJu. I have been thinking hard about this next challenge and had a couple of ideas :think: sooo....

    ...this weeks challenge is to create a piece of jewellery with a vintage or retro feel to it. It doesn't have to contain vintage or retro items, but it could if you wish, but should have a vintage/retro style.

    Hope that makes sense.

    :T By the way I've loved all of the recent makes featured in this thread - everyone is so talented.
