Stick a Cork in It.

This is my first blog post, my first entry in a competition (well, non-sports related anyway) and my first foray into the public domain to exhibit something I made. And like a virgin, I’m anxious and elated at the same time.

I consider myself to be crafty, but not “A Crafter”. My goal is to change that and my blog title says it all: Wannabe Indie. So, without further ado, I’d like to present my entry for Category 1: Creative use of household waste.

These are made from corks I’ve saved over the years. The idea was born when a friend of mine started a monthly wine club and I thought, “Maybe other wine drinkers would be interested in showing their dedication to the vine”.

The findings (hooks, head pins) are sterling silver and some feature natural stones such as Turquoise and Amethyst. I salvage stones, beads and other embellishments from thrift store jewelry.



I’m churning out more everyday and I would be excited beyond words to be considered for the Reform School store.
