I'm issuing a warning for those of you who may be squeamish!!!! I'm going to show you something dead - VERY dead.
This once was a necklace. Yup, believe it or not it was. Sadly it ended up in a charity shop in Cheltenham and looked SO sad and neglected that I bought it and brought it home. Now maybe YOU think there's a happy ending. Well, no, not yet.
When I got home I got out my pliers and KILLED it properly DEAD!!!! These are the mortal remains!
The little brassy square 'bits' are really pretty with a sparkly stone (no, I assure you, it's not a diamond!) in the middle.
Wait til you see what happened next!!!!
Wait til you see what happened next!!!!
Oh wow! Dare I imagine that besides tatting, you can now revive the dead?
ReplyDeleteWhatever you do with the remains, I know it will a miracle.
I can't wait to see. I know it's gonna be good.

Oh, I do this too except way too often I get attached to the necklace before I kill it properly and then I WEAR it and bring it back to life. Very hard to kill it then. You did the right thing, right away when you brought it home. Saved you both misery. I do like that little square though.
ReplyDeleteOh the horror! lol I bet it will be an improvement whatever you do. You are so cleaver Jane!
ReplyDeleteI know whatever you do to bring this piece back to life will be fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI think of it more as 'rescuing' the poor trapped 'findings' which have been longing for a new home, which will be spectacular in your creative hands!
ReplyDeleteThat looks a terrific find from a charity shop, look forward to seeing what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteWe wait on baited breath.
