| A drawer full of memories. A box full of old clip earrings and jewelry. Grandpa's old belt buckle, or watch. Grannies old glasses. Grannie's old salt and pepper set. You can't let go of these items, but they have no purpose either. I take old memories and make new and trendy heirlooms for your kids, grandchildren, wives. I also make tribute pieces to your solider across the sea, to your loved one you lost to breast cancer, etc. |
Memory Pieces
| Custom piece for a mother who wanted a tribute piece made to honor her son. This piece was made from an old sports stop watch. Cracker jack toys from the 40s and 50s were added, along with the young man's photo. |
| This was a watch given to my mom by her mother. |
| Using an old belt buckle, this piece was made to honor my grandad, William Garrett. An old photo of him "cowboying it" was the centerpiece. |
| All the little memories of a young boy are used to create this western memories pin. |
| A new use for old glasses |
| My grandfather, Jeep McCown served in the U.S.Navy. This piece was made in honor of him. The collage is full of vintage patriotic items. |
| A watch my aunt Julia always wore. |
| New use for your grandad's wrist watch. |

| This is my tribute piece to my sister. I used her jewelry and designed a breast cancer tribute piece. This was very popular at the Susan G. Komen Walk for a Cure. |
| A lady whose husband was going to Iraq wanted something made out of his dog tag. I couldn't bring myself to alter the dog tag, so I added it to the back of a 1970's locket. On the front of the locket I added pieces of US military pins, and a photo of them. Inside of the locket is a picture of them and a love quote. |
