Watch parts and junk jewelry



Okay, so "What the HELL would you do with these?" Countless ideas come to mind to use watch parts and junk jewelry. Two of my most favorite supplies!

I love to make little people either on magnets or making them into pendants. I'd like to introduce "Robo Hot". Please forgive my photography. Scanning came out worse.




When I get my junk jewelry lots I have to divy them up right away. I just can't wait. Really. Some of the less known categories (or are they?) I make are arms & legs, bodies and hair. You know there are those earrings from the 80's that when you turn them upside down they are hair. So do you see any of your junk jewelry this way?


Robo Hot's hair was made using keychains. Her face is a watch movement, watch hand for a tie and junk jewelry for the rest of her. Oops she does have earrings on made from some kind of fishing findings. Whoever knew we would refer to fishing supplies as findings.


So "What the HELL" do you make with this stuff? Send me some pics and I'll post them!

Watch Backs---My new Bezel



What the HELL would you do with these watch backs?

They make the perfect bezel. They come in all shapes and sizes. I LOVE them. In the first picture, I have reduced photos to fit and then framed the bezel with beads and filled with resin. They make great pendants, magnets and embellishments.

In this picture, I added polymer clay faces and then filled the crevices with itty bitty beads. I sold a lot of these pendants at the craft shows over the holidays. The one in the center is surrounded by a zipper!


Now of course I have watch backs, watch parts and more available in my Etsy shop-the Altered Black Sheep. If you don't see what you are looking for, let me know. I'm a collector and hoarder of supplies. LOL

So, tell me what the hell would you do with them. Email me some pics to marysmadness2004@yahoo.com . I share, you share....it's a win, win situation.
