I had a go at altering some bottle caps. I see one of them has a bit of black on the side - didn't notice it when I made - I must wipe that off!
Why is it that the smallest of things seem to take the longest time to do. I spent several hours over two days. This little one has a photo in it and I have 'bashed' the rim to make a frame. The 'pearl' looks lovely in real life. It came from a necklace that I bought in a charity shop this week. I have looked for months and never found anything suitable. This one had lots of little charms on it - too me ages to get this one off - but finishes it off nicely.
This is another vintage photo - the lady is collaged on to script.
And yes - this is the one I need to wipe off the little bit of black paint. I painted the backs of them black to hide the brand name.

They are both fabulous Lottie. I love your ideas, where do you get them all!

Well worth the time you have spent on them!
Oooo I like these Lottie. How easy is it to do beady charm things? They would be great items to use on a bracelt too
These took me about 3 - 4 hours to make - but I am slow and clumsy. The hard bit was to put the photo inside and hammer the round edge into a square without obscuring the bit of the photo I wanted to show!
Lovely Lottie, I've failed at this so far.

I LOVE how youve done these - how clever to shape them the way you have,I wouldnt have thought of that in a million years....hope I can 'borrow' that idea from you...please with a cherry on top!
WOW Lottie these are stunning, I love the way you've disguised and re-shaped these bottle tops, so they don't look like bottle tops at all - beautiful xxxx
These are fab, love them
Brilliant - love these x
Love, love, love your bashed bottlecaps- it hadn't occured to me you could do that to them! Gorgeous stuff.
