Necklaces and old ties.
The ties do not ever throw. Many men wear them every day to work, and they have many. Many others just wear them only when required, in ceremonies and important occasions. Many ties are gifts, the ones just never used.
Then you can turn, joined together we can make a strange and colorful bag, a skirt, and various other things. I am I doing necklaces. 
The reuse in this case has another aspect. In creating a necklace from a tie is not just a change of form or destination, but a change of address: a change of gender. The tie is an accessory predominantly male, while the series, this in particular, especially women. In this way is therefore to create a small object which devotes an emotional connection: you can take with us something about our father or grandfather, boyfriend or husband. Something else that we could not look old.
Among the "grain" (balls), and in many models I put cubes of steel bolts, and hardware. To complete the series because the same conceptual line, what comes out is an object created with other objects, not born for that purpose.
If you have old ties from which you want to make a necklace like this for an original gift, or the desire to make even an object's past fashion (or changed hands!), contact me.
