I try to use UPcycled elements with any piece of jewelry I create. I have a multitude of beads and chains that were my great grandmothers that I inherited when she passed along; I find things and pieces I need in jewelry and will use one little part and save the rest for later when I need it. I limit my supplies box to a leather luggage case that is 12"X16"X12". When I go to thrift shops, I might see something I need a piece off of, or want to use, it's awesome to spend .10 on something that might be wasting space in a landfill, and then using it to beautify and better the universe. Post your favorite UPcycled product if you want!
