How did you make that?

I posted some comments about my silverware jewelry the other day on Craigs List. So now someone has asked for details on how I made them. I'm curious about your thoughts on this? Some of those nasty people on CL attacked the poster. I admit sometimes at craft fairs someone will ask me how I make something and I think to myself "how rude". But online the question seemed different. I answered her questions without thought. There was so much work involved when I was learning to make those silverware pendants. Why not give someone else a little help. So what do you say when they ask you your secrets?

Treasures from First Monday in Canton

Yesterday I went to Canton. Wow, that is a one of a kind place. It has everything. The variety of an estate sale and the qualities of a garage sale. I'm usually not a barter, but I will barter at First Monday. I like to shop outdoors, because I am looking for a deal. I figure that the more the vendor is paying for his spot, the more money he will want from me. I want cheap.

I found everything that I was looking for. Junk jewelry, watch stuff, a glove mold, an arm and forks and spoons. The pendant above is way cool. Those are actual teeth around the edge. The pendant was made on a coin from Peru. There is a camel on the back and the words Un Sol Deoro. The pendant cost me all of one dollar.

First Monday, you gotta love it.

Family for dinner?

Okay, I have many a fetish. I really like junk jewelry, old silverware and photos. So here we go...
