I have too much stuff

So I'm trying to sort my supplies and other small things I've been collecting through the years. I just realized that I have a lot. A LOT!

What am I going to do with this? Make weird collage wall art?

Lion Rings

So I have these old 60's buttons that are kinda cool. I will probably never be able to make something that is fantastic enough to have buttons like them, so I'm trying to make them into rings. Problem is. I can't get the shanks off their backs. They're obviously glued on. Let's just say that whatever glue they used I'd like to have it too.

Fancy lion button:

Scrap jewelry

Some jewelry I am working. These will probably not be up for sale at my shop...

Want to turn this into a hairclip. Old toy jewelry.

Photobucket

Copper plate bow and pearls. Made two of these but I am not sure if they look better as earrings or as a necklace.

Photobucket

Earrings in the works. Not sure how to fasten earrhooks. Or maybe I should try and use studs for these. Decisions, decisions...

Photobucket

Rings made from brass wire, pearls and vintage button.

My god, I am getting tired of the dark. I want to be able to take photos without using a flash :C

Loving the background. Vintage magazine from 1958. Kinda love reading those. The issue on the photo has a very entertaining article about a father that was left alone with his little baby daughter FOR SEVERAL HOURS and had to change her diaper!!!! TEH HORRORS. Uhm yeah. I'm glad I don't live in the 50's.

Not much else happening here today. Been working on my freakin degree essay for Uni the whole day. Feels like I'm not getting anywhere with it. And I used to be able to go on and on AND ON about architecture. Now It's just blaah... Oh well, I've set the deadline to March. If it's not done ny then I am made of FAIL.
