I've probably mentioned in other blog posts that my dad used to make watches and has tonnes of old watches and their parts. Well thanks to the beauty of Pinterest I came across some fab ideas to make use of the parts and watch movements.
I'm planning on doing a stall down at the Brighton Open market this summer and as well as selling my photography, I may as well try to sell some of the things I make out of my dads watch parts. Here are my favorite ideas I found on Pinterest:
 |
| Super cute rabbit made completely of watch parts! (Made by Sue Beatrice) |
 |
Check out these great earrings made by Etsy Seller Noblestudios
|
 |
I could use watch faces to make keyrings like this example.
|
 |
| This is so incredible! |
Luckily, being the magpie that I am, have kept charms from past earrings and necklaces which help me get a little creative with the watches. I have chosen to make a few necklaces with the charms and watch movements to start off with.
Here is the progress so far:
 |
Cute bee and diamonds.
|
 |
A summery feel with a fruity vibe.
|
 |
Unicorn and stars!
|
 |
| Nautical theme with anchor, pearls and blue diamonds. |
All of these are a work in process and obviously need a chain or leather strap on them but I'm pretty excited about this project!
In other news, i'm off to Paris tomorrow for a lovely weekend away with my boyfriend, so no doubt the next blog post will be about our adventures there!
