i really had fun with this one. i think i will have to revisit this one again.
i have to be honest. i always have a huge pile of stuff in a box. whenever i cleanmy studio, i put all the scraps/old work/things that need tweaking into said box. when i'm stuck, i often revisit this box. and i usually get overwhelmed and put it away again. i pulled out a tangled mess for this challenge and decided to only use what was in the tangle. (well. ok, i also used some findings. but you get the idea.) can you spot my old work? i see an earring i stepped on, a bracelet that didn't pass the alisa test, and some stuff from my first craft show 5 years ago. note to self. why didn't i send this stuff in when i sent in my scrap list time?
i cut apart some handmade chain earrings that were far too boring for me. then i took this old pendant with 4 circles and attached the chain in 3 rows. i'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. 

rachelle finished a piece that had been on her bench for 10 months.
lora made over a ring that she felt never quite worked.
The uneven angle of the top isn't dramatic enough to make a statement, the arch thingie was a piece of a broken toggle that fit perfectly, but looks horrible in silver. I was thinking of threading some felt through it, or adding beads and baubles, but nothing ever felt right. So I cut it off!
