The chain is awesome, and oh, how we could all work with the Lies They Told Me theme. After a long day of parenting, I was thinking that Lies My Parents Told Me might be a fun one to experiment with, too. Your posts always get me thinking.

Most of it is rusted and some of it is bent beyond normal use. I had a thought of using the pieces in jewelry somehow, but the tetanus thing was a concern. Not only have you answered that question, but given an excellent example of rust jewelry.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055368060126751860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-80990895145558264732013-05-11T10:18:13.887-05:002013-05-11T10:18:13.887-05:00Erin, what an incredible way to use a bit from you...Erin, what an incredible way to use a bit from your piece of rust - a bit of rough and romantic mixed together in the heart pendant. Making it a timepiece adds another mysterious layer - and the chain is amazing as well! This series is a success already! Your white-background photography really shows off the piece so well.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16954185877461502547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-72861599433109059472013-05-10T10:23:31.781-05:002013-05-10T10:23:31.781-05:00I wonder if we all have those bits of rust?!
