Junky Gems

In Seattle I had a wonderful and talented friend named Char who had moved to the Northwest by way of Michigan, leaving her family's junk yard behind. She never forgot those roots, however, and has taken her many creative instincts and turned it into Junkyard Jewelry. Earrings, rings, necklaces, etc. designed from pieces she has collected over the years (I like the insulated washer earrings myself).

Check it out here. I definitely think it's wonderful to support those folks who put their creative side out there.
