so, we are a family who likes to spend weekends not doing much, it doesn't help that we don't have any money right now, but both my kids love arts and crafting. rodney is getting to enjoy it as well. i need a much larger table...
one boring sunday in the 100 degree summer, i took out my big trunk-box of jewelry scraps so we could make ROBOTS! luk has been into the movie "robots" so he had the greatest reaction when the box was opened..."wo-ow!"
it was especially cool because i would guess half of what is in there is from my grandfather, who was a watch and clock repairman. he used to give me little boxes full of parts and old watches.
then my BF kimmy (hi, kimmy!) and i would go from estate sale to rummage sale pillaging any and all the old costume jewelry and junk we could... man, i miss those days...we would go home and spend hours breaking stuff apart (gasp) and sorting and sharing - oh, so very therapeutic! then we had to start collecting vials and coin bottles to keep our ever-expanding collection of beads and clasps, pins and jump rings...oh, drewel....now, to put it all to use.
well, here is what i made.
