Christmas Present for my Mother in Law

As many of you know, this year hasn't been the best in this family and sadly in the summer we lost Andrew's dad to cancer.

Some folks on twitter have been dabbling in Sculpted or altered books, so I had this really clever idea that I could do one for her, so off to the charity shop I went and this is what I came up with.

Off to make a box for it now.

I would like to enter this for Use it Tuesday - anything goes with hoarded stash (flowers and butterfly)

Steampunk Kilt pin

My OH had seen some Steampunk jewellery components in Debbi Moore's weekly newsletter, so one fine sunny Saturday we toddled down.  CLOSED - yes on a Saturday!!!!  So I decided to have a full hour for lunch on Friday and took myself across Darlington, which, on foot was far easier than by car I have to say.

I had been in Primarni/Pradamark on the Thursday lunchtime and found a lot of jewellery in there for 50p - many of which had steampunk components so I filled my boots knowing I could "strip them down" and reuse in lots of ways.

I also had quite a stash already of jewellery components, but whilst I was in Debbi Moore's I saw the watch - a working timepiece and "had to have it".  This is the only expensive component in the wholepiece, and as a first proper go at jewellery making not a bad effort.

Challenges entered: Punkyougirl - Anything goes
Simply Steampunk - Timepieces
