Hi
I decided to use some safety pins I bought from last Rememberence Day, i try to incorporate an element of recycling or nature into everything. That sounds pretensious but I think there is not much point me doing it otherwise!!
I love african inspired jewellery, the natural woods, i know that the colours suit me as a brunette too!


Age Concern on jewellery to break up. (
The elephant came off a chopstick holder from oxfam! Metal ball on the brown one came from a 70’s earring

Remember, if you always do what you have always done, you will always get the same result,  you are never too old to learn something new so you can always change the result to one you want.

These are gorgeous and individual. I also love the re-cycling and the ethos behind them.

Fantastic makes!  Charity shops are fab for picking up bargains and re-making things with them…even my dad trawls charity shops for me he’s come up with some right bargains so far! LOL xx

Great stuff Renata! I love the re-cycling ideas, and its becoming more important. I like your kilt-pin design, but I am a bit of a sucker for those types of brooches.

Look forward to seeing more
