Goodmorning! The soap is done and turned out great. Now time to get back to jewlery.
We have been asked how we find all the items we use to make our jewelery. Its pretty easy. Start going to second hand stores, garage sells, antique stores anywhere where there might be items you can re-imagine. It helps if you love to go to all those places in the first place. The fun is in the hunt and the discovery. It is always better to not be looking for just the right piece as you will miss a lot of cool items if you are so focused. When you look at something try to picture it being used for something other than its original purpose. There have been many times I bring something home and my Life Partner looks at me like I am crazy ( he is not as good at this) but then gets the " Ah ha" look when he sees what it becomes. Of course the other is our rock hunting and beach combing. I kid you not our box we shipped back from New Zealand contained a large amount of rocks and sea shells. So the best advice is keep your eyes and imagination open and you will find the "right stuff" for your creation
This is a great example of re-purposing
