#bits n bobs

Most of my shiny things are kept in plain boring boxes and are intended for eventual use in sewing and crafting projects. Some of them were bought, but a lot were found, given to me, thrifted, or scavenged from clothing, jewellery, or items that may otherwise have been thrown away. I save almost everything, and I feel like many crafters probably do the same.

Here's the current state of my boxes. They need a tidy. In fact, after seeing some of the beautiful corvidcore boxes people have made I'm inspired to do one of those for the items I haven't used yet or probably won't use, but that I keep because I like them 😊

Here are some projects that I've used my shiny things for: a jacket I'm currently customising,

The inside of a watch which I turned into a pendant,

A Peter Rabbit 50p which i also turned into a pendant. There were loads of Beatrix Potter commemorative 50ps issued for general circulation in the UK a few years ago, but this was the only one I ever found. My mother in law has almost all of them!

Old keys that are now necklaces or earrings. I have a lot of old keys.

And this is a deconstructed pocket watch. I didn't frame it myself, I bought it from a charity shop, but I think it fits with the aesthetic.

And I feel like this post wouldn't be complete if I didn't show my crow's skull. It's resin but very realistic looking. I received it as a free gift from Hysteria Machine. It's meant to be worn as a necklace but I found it a little annoying as it's very large and heavy and was swinging about all over the place. So now it just sits on my desk.
