Unhinged... the bracelet.

I carved out an organized corner of my studio so I took a break from sorting, pitching, and storing, to make a few things. Maybe finding solutions in my work space awakens creativity or problem solving skills, because I came up with some new angles on incorporating knives, crystals, and hardware. Ever since I plundered my dad's workshop months ago, I've wanted to create jewelry using the vintage hinges I found there. The piece in the photograph started out as a pendant, then showed promise as a choker. I landed happily on "bracelet" since it was time to go fix dinner. Choker, pendant, and earrings to follow.
