Working on Bottle Cap Magnets Today

This was on the agenda for today: Bottle Cap magnets!! I plan on selling them in sets of 3 in my etsy shop.....hopefully that will happen later tonight, after the kid-o's are in bed!

A Couple of Local Haunts

These gals are loving their fancy-schmancy new scrabble tile earrings!

These were just added to "Bird on a Wire Creations" today...

...along with these recycled domino necklaces.

Here's a peek inside the store:

Of course my daughter (yet again) insists on being in the photo.

This pile of brooches are in "Make" on Granville Island...

...along with magnets.

Vintage Cigar Label Bottle Cap Magnets

I made this custom order of recycled bottle cap magnets for a woman who's husband is a cigar smoker:

Look at all these smokers!

Makes my mouth go all weird just looking at them!

The Coolest Bottle Cap EVER

Isn't this the coolest bottle cap EVER?!

I have clients saving their bottle caps for me, and some come in with stuffed to the brim/overflowing baggies (and are embarrassed by the amount of beer they've gone through since their last visit!), and others reach in their purse and pull out 3 or 4 caps. I welcome them all, and it's interesting to see what people's favourite beverages are. I love Granville Island caps - they have great cap colours!

This lone cap came from my friend/client Emily, who found it lying on the side of the road. Thanks Em, it's AWESOME!

Speaking of cool treasures, one of my class mates at the Encaustic Workshop class, was Russell, from TwistedPapers.com. I just had to take a couple of snapshots of his tray of goodies! He gave me a piece of his (perfectly crumbly) antique sewing tape to use in my bird piece.
