I hope you like what you see and perhaps take a little inspiration from here.
This set of jewellery is made form malachite and malachite tiger's-eye with a little aventurine. The chain on the pendant is old silver and the spacer-beads are all Tibetan Silver. The ear-findings etc are also silver.
I really like my SteamPunk brooch. It's made with all re-worked parts, the only new parts being the new wire and thread holding it all together.
I've used a brass frame from an old alarm clock for the basis, a piece of recovered green grosgrain ribbon, the green buckle is c1930's as is the altered button and probably most of the watch pieces attached to it.
The fob-watch chain is brass and at least forty years old (I've had it that long).
The key, the other brass chain and the hare badge are of indeterminate age but I've had them a good few years.

Another SteamPunk offering! LOL! It's a bottle-cap pendant. The bottle-cap was padded a little then I added a vintage photograph and sealed with resin. I made the 'lid' with a piece of a broken necklace and faced it at the back with a silver celtic-knot earring, using the other earring on the base of the bottle-cap.
This charm bracelet pleased me too as I was able to utilize my beloved Copics to colour the metal charms. Copics work well on lots of surfaces and, as you see, metal too! Tut here.
Here's a small selection of some of the items I've made. I have loads more on the go and even more ideas but not enough time to make them real for this one. Might for the September one though!
