Urban Tribal Romantic Decay Industrial Recycled - errm - goodies?

Ok so I can't quite figure out what to call this range! The materials I have used have a sort of urban/industrial feel but the style is sort of tribal. I used some pearls and shiny bits which always makes me think Romance ... Ah well have a squizz and see what you can come up with!

This pendant is made from an assortment of beads, tin, cogs and beach finds. And a little birdy bone. I did not eat the donor. Promise. I found the bone all bleached and smooth washed up on a beach. Truly.

I used bronze wire that I formed into a ring to string them on. The pendant hangs from a leather and chain necklace. I made the bail from recycled pewter.

Next up, some ear-rings.

I only had a skerrick of this lovely old rusted tin so I was treating it like a precious metal. I have used recycled pewter to add some strength and pearls provide a nice contrast whilst picking up on the gentle colours in the tin. Mmmm - rust is purdy ...

Something non-rusty. I cut the discs from reclaimed brass and bashed them about and patinaed them. Using chips. That is a dear little amozonite bead swinging from the bottom.

Back to the rusty, distressed gear ...

Again I have used pewter to provide a sound sub-structure for the old tin - great colour huh? Again I couldn't resist the juxtaposition of the pearls - just teeny freshwater ones this time!

So there you have the bare bones of a range I hope to grow. I guess the rusty ear-rings are not for the feint-hearted but they are stylish nonetheless. I think. Aren't they? (arrgggh - I hate it when the Inner Critic sits on my shoulder and whispers doubting doubts in my ear ...)
