Like Making Stuff?

October 21, 2010

I love making stuff! I especially love making weird and off the wall stuff!!! Making jewelry and accessories from found objects is my newest obsession. For example, beads from broken necklaces, extra buttons that come with a pair of slacks, and old game pieces (Scrabble, etc) are all perfect for projects.

Here are some books (all available at MCPL) that inspired me:
