Cleaning out my studio space I discovered that I had these vintage typewriter keys. They them from an old typewriter that was thrown in the trash. I decided to take them and design pieces of jewelry. I took pages from a vintage dictionary and ran them through the paper shredder to make strips. Doing this saved me a lot of cutting and made the exact size and width I was looking for. It also gave the paper strips that ragged edge I was looking for. I am not yet revealing the design until I have a few more made, keep an eye out later this week!!

Be sure to visit Seth's original post Burried Treasure regarding this Collaborative Project and to visit other blogs involved in the project as well.

Below you will find my Buried Treasure, it is a re-post from 2009 of some ATC's that I had finished. I chose this one for this post as I liked how these had turned out (actually, I had forgotten all about them!) Thanks Seth for this fun project and getting a chance to visit a lot of other blogs that I would not have found otherwise.




Here are the 4 Spring themed ATC's that I made for the Monthly swap at AlteredDesigns Yahoo group.

It was a good visit to downtown Lancaster, a city with so many cool hidden places. We definitely need to explore the city again soon!!
