I like Jersey best attitude...
and... I love NY
(and conneticut too)
My new pendants are recycled optometrist lenses to which I add images, tamise (flakes of gold and silver leaf) and sterling charms. I  was not amazed to find out that there are many things in New Jersey to be proud of—and beer (pendant pictured below) is just one of them—first canned beer, first drive-in movie,  first baseball game, first to sign the bill of rights,   first solid state electric guitar,  first professional  football game, first boardwalk, the first electric light,  longest running nuclear plant, built the first diners and has the most diners (600) and the most millionaires—what a place!
And now I can add NY pendants  to my list (first women's convention, long toll highway, oldest cattle ranch and the invention of toilet paper...) And then there is Conneticut...home of the dictionary, the first American cookbook, the corkscrew, fm radio, color tv and the frisbee.

Never underestimate what you can do with simple materials that you rescue. I craft jewelry and battery-powered clocks from aluminum can cutouts, tincans, typewriters, freshwater pearls and sterling silver. I hope that I can make a difference by example by showing that recycling can both influence the future and also be appealing.
