I've been nattering on for years about the joys of re-purposing hardware, (and Anni Albers was doing it in the 1940s) and now comes...
• Tatty Devine's volume knob brooch.
• "Home from the Hardware Store: Transform Everyday Materials into Fabulous Home Furnishings" a book by Stephen Antonson and Kathleen Hackett (Rodale Books) From Amazon: "Antonson and Hackett cast their eyes on pedestrian materials — drain covers, cork matting, plumbing parts, light sockets, brass nails — and see lamps, wallpaper, table runners, side tables, even cuff links."
• A tutorial for an elegant Braided Hex Nut Bracelet.

Jane, have you seen these repurposed Barbie dolls? http://www.yatzer.com/Barbie-Deconstruction-by-Margaux-Lange
Thank you, thank you for that link! I do appreciate thoughtful friends who are kind enough to support my eccentric quest for bizarre accessories -- interrupting their own, far more worthy, award-winning and culturally significant work to do so!
Cheers, Margo!
