Movie-Inspired Jewelry

Inspired by movies — creative ideas!

I was inspired to create these earrings when I discovered the peace signs in a bead shop in Virginia. They reminded me of a young lady back home who is, probably, the closest thing to a ‘hippie’ than I’ve seen since 1960. Tayler is very cool. ;)

Come and play in the Messy Workshop with B’sue as she discusses the use of gears, propellers, wheels, watch parts, buckles and American made brass stampings to make cool whirly-twirly Steampunk charms and pendants that MOVE.
