I've always been a recycler and re-purposer.

(It's also how my process works as a maker and where I get ispired!)

This past year I've been digging deep into the archives in my studio drawers before I send olde worke to the scrapper! Lots of editing, reconsidering and re-configuring. Here, a few old school earrings got turned into the tops for vintage mother of pearl buckle and button pairs. I've been challenging myself to not cast new work and to use the metal I have on hand. Here are three inspired pair.
