Material Girls Say "Metal" and Mine Is a Quickie

This week the Challenge over on Just for Fun is "Metal" and as I have been so busy this past couple of weeks I was kind of dreading having to get one of the many things I have to cover and getting my metal tools out (not that I don't "love" working with metal).  I kept staring around my craft room and putting it off and then when I was doing something else suddenly the 'lightbulb' went on and this is what I ended up with - using lots of my Timmy things.


I used one of those large round bezels with a loop at the top that I had not used and so I decided to put a watch face inside it and add some other bits of Ideology.  Then I wondered why I was using the front and not the back so it got stuck on the back with a cog and a clock hand.  Glued a keyhole on, dangled two whatsits (can't remember what they are called) from each loop and a key on the end - which is really the loop at the top.  Cannot decide what to put in the two "whatsit's names" yet but they don't look bad as they are for the time being.

Because the back is indented (remember I did mine back to front) it takes a pin back quite easily and there is no sticky out bit.  I am now hoping to get an attachment so I can also wear it as a pendant.  have some in gold but not in silver - trust my luck!

Anyway, hope you like my DT piece for JFF and look forward to seeing what you all come up with - do check out the great things the others on the Design Team have done, you will get inspired.

In the meantime Tuesday Throwdown are challenging you to use metal so am sending this over there too.
