Red Orange Orb recycled marble choker with adjustable Cord

Dusky Red Orange Orb reycled marble choker has an adjustable leather neutral or khaki colored cord and will coordinate or accent any outfit.

The knots slide to make the necklace larger or smaller. Pendant is accented with a salvaged vintage crystal clear bead and is wired securely.

Crowning it all and loosely orbiting the sunny, glowing red-orange glass is a pretty coin of iridescent seashell that further serves as a reminder that every salvaged or repurposed item is one less thing that is discarded into our oceans.
This arrives giftboxed, shipped via Priority Mail with a tracking number.

Fabric Bangle of 100% Recycled Materials


Ok, so I will be creating and publishing a tutorial on these this week... this was just too cool.

I made this out of a nice sturdy hair dye box, two plastic shopping bags, and old curtain, a dress shirt, and a ribbon :)

It's available on Etsy, click any of the pics to visit the listing.

Repurposed Vintage 80s post Earrings w bonus Upcycled Ring in pink, blue, yellow, purple, green

These vintage 80's metal circular disc earrings were a plain Royal Blue until I got hold of them :)

I used some tissue paper from some 40th BDay gifts and some Weldbond non-toxic glue and turned them into pretty stained-glassish treasures....
I used an old "bone ring" bought from a vintage store and used the same technique, installing a few salvaged beads on it for some sparkly shine. It is a larger size, like an 8 to a nine so it is good on an index finger or thumb or larger sized finger.

This jives with any pink, yellow, green, purple or blue color scheme and POPS!!! with vivid color.
This set comes giftboxed.







Please reuse the box and keep it from becoming landfill...
