Digesting crickets.

The middle anole is a "found object" because my Significant Other found one of the lizards in a shipment of metal castings from somewhere in the Southwest. It had been shipped up here to Wisconsin. He brought the lizard home, and it now lives in an aquarium with a heatlamp, a heated rock, and two friends. I believe the "found object" is the one in the middle, the green one.

This lovely dragonfly measures approximately 10" x 7 1/2". Each piece is handmade from recycled, repurposed objects.

Each little person comes with a copy of their own story, which helps bring their character to life.

This one's story is:

No matter what you look like on the outside, whether you are beautiful or somewhat plain, the real you that matters most is on the inside. Your inner beauty will shine through and for those willing to see it, they will be blinded by its brilliance. So never forget who you are, what you are made of, because the outside will fade and what is left will be the true you.

It is $55 and comes with a handcrafted copy of the story.

This particular trailer freaked me out. Not so much the stairs and tulip lights, but...

found object art

Something about the discarded shoes caught my attention. Almost artwork themselves, with Pollock-esque paint on them, you can almost see the artist working.

I didn't know it was that easy.

My other favorite project this week are my Retro Earrings! My co-worker and friend Beth found this fabulous necklace in an antique store in Micanopy, FL. I asked her if she was going to buy it, she laughed and said no. So I scooped it up to repurpose. The beads are glass, somehow cracked on the inside but completely smooth on the outside.

To keep the retro feel, but with a modern twist, I dangled the clear beads from Sterling silver chain and earwires. These are fabulously long and swing-y earrings! They hang right down to my shoulders! I'm going to truly hate parting with them!
