ElasiaUsing SoftFlex Extreme Medium in 925 silver, I used pearls and beads from a broken bracelet I actually found at the beach haha. Leaves are from a manipulated soda can, and washers I honestly can't remember what they were from, I save most anything that can be made into jewelry. It looks pokey and sharp but it's not, my mother's been wearing it almost daily since I made it, she 'stole' it!Jan 31, 2010

Alysa HarronThis bracelet was created using entirely scavenged materials, plus SoftFlex wire. The black tubing is the insulating material around the individual strands in telephone wire. Each quadrilateral structure was created seperately and then looped together during construction.

Mary ThomasonI made my necklace using broken beads donated by a friend. This is my first time melting glass, although I've been stringing it for many years. I slumped the broken beads in my microwave kiln, then applied silver foil to the back of the cabs and epoxied them to the bails. They are strung on Soft Flex Silver E$xtreme, heavy gauge. The clasp is sterling with an iolite stone.Jan 30, 2010

Terry HenryThe lamp-work beads in this necklace are made entirely from recycled materials. There are 26 (green) handmade beads in this necklace all made from a (green) wine bottle "rescued" from the recycle bin. Green glass was melted and formed into canes. The silver used to enhance the glass was reclaimed from a silver recovery plant that processed film in the 70's. Floor sweepings were saved and given to me long ago. I rolled the glass gather into filings made from the silver droppings. I pulled silvered stringers and twists and applied them to the beads. I worked the glass in a reducing and striking environment to develop the patterns and colors in the beads. The necklace is strung on Medium Soft Flex Beading Wire.Jan 27, 2010

Bead MonkiG'day from Australia again,

Thanks for another inspiring challenge (even though I am really bodgy at them, they encourage me to learn and experiment with new things).

Bronwen HeilmanMaterials: Rings are made from cutting the necks of glass Bottles and grinding the edges smooth. The beads are flameworked glass beads where the glass is recycled from bottles. The material holding everything together is the world’s first eco-friendly beading wire, Extreme Soft Flex Wire. I am using the gold wire, in heavy gauge.

This necklace is 24 inches long.
