I end up using a lot of found objects now my favorite is bottle cap necklaces with pearls or other classy kind of beads to be kind of contrasting, soonish I am planning on opening an etsy site.

I like using brass/copper toned pendants or charms. I mainly do necklaces for friend's birthdays and try and use something that relates to them :)

I use twine and glass beads.

I use sterling silver 18/20g wire and swarovski crystals. Sometimes though buy really cool looking beads and those I use the cheaper wire on. I make my own jump rings, and sometimes my own clasps, especially with the sterling silver bracelets. It's so expensive to buy SS clasps! Might as well just make my own :P

Have begun making charms and things out of pewter!

Is great fun! Carve it from wax or clay, make a mold and play with fire and metal :D

I make my own beads and charms from polymer clay and I sometimes add pearlex powders, silver/gold leaf or Diamontes :3
