Channeling Hoarding Behavior

Let's face it. Many artists-especially those who work in several mediums, tend to be hoarders. You almost have to be so that you have handy what you need when the inspiration hits you. And, I've no doubt that somewhere in your stash you've saved those metal cookie tins and mint tins. Anything pretty that came in a metal box.


Now you can re-purpose those metal tins into totally cool and hip earrings (if you want to be even hip-er, you'd call them upcycled earrings).

Witness:

these are earrings made by Kate Wadsworth

You can read how to make these earrings (and more) at Jewelry Making Daily-it's simple and a great way to use up that stash of stuff sitting around your studio!
