I always thought it would be fun to do a photo shoot of super-glam clothes amid piles of trash. Not gross trash, like fish heads and tampons, but nice trash, like crushed Dr. Pepper cans and lipstick-smeared tissues. Maybe this is because I'm messy and am looking for a way to legitimize my lack of Martha Stewart-like organizational zeal. Or maybe I just really like Dr. Pepper. Either way, I think it would all make for a lovely landfill.
Two out of three of this week's necklaces were made from trash. That is, trash as in this-used-to-be-part-of-some-store-bought-jewelry-that-fell-apart-while-I-was-wearing-it . . . after, like fifteen years (far be it from me to malign the marvel that is mass-produced fashion). The focal point namesake moon in Blue Moon Swoon was once one of those stretchy rings, and the two gem clusters flanking it were segments in an equally stretchy bracelet. The charms in Purple Circle were from a Gumby-esque bracelet, too. As for Vegas, Maybe . . . well, she was minted from Michael's and Hobby Lobby -- so, new money, like most of the high rollers crowded around the roulette wheel. But that's what I love about making things, the blending of the tarnished with the shiny, of the old with the new.
Fingers crossed one day I find that Dumpster.

I like the idea of your other kind of a photo shoot and I can't believe that the two necklaces were made from trash! Love as usual your colourful and fantastic looks!

Love the outfits - the red heels! The unicorn skirt! Oh my - so cute. :) Your necklaces are gorgeous and how cool is that, that it's from mixed old-and-new. I think a photo shoot of super glam clothes amongst trash would be a genius idea! (And Dr. Pepper - yum!!!)
