Long before silicon chips, even before transistors (we&#39;re tallking 1950&#39;s), it was vacuum tube technology that made radios, TV&#39;s and audio equipment work. This necklace was made from one of these early vacuum tubes. The tube measures approx. 1-1/2&quot; long x 1&quot; wide. It is lightweight and encased in a handmade wire cage. The elastic cord it hangs from is approx. 23&quot; long.... Perfect gift for the techno geek in your life. (Or the techno geek in you.) Item you receive may vary slightly in appearance from the item pictured because tubes are not all from the same manufacturer. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26755171 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 15:39:20 -0400 25.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.76439199.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9324835 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.18767109.jpg" /><br /> $6.00<br /> I made these boxes from recycled magazine paper, using traditional origami technique. Nest them, stack them, or scatter them all around the house! They would also make striking gift boxes for lightweight items, such as jewelry, money, or sachet. Boxes pictured are representative only. The boxes you receive will be different but equally cool!<br /> <br />Measurements:<br /><br />Big box - 2-3/4&quot; x 1-1/2&quot;<br />Medium box - 2-1/2&quot; x 1-1/4&quot;<br />Small box - 2-1/4&quot; x 1&quot;<br /><br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9324835 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:42:54 -0400 6.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.18767109.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8542778 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.16213741.jpg" /><br /> $16.00<br /> I took a white glove, hardened it with fabric stiffener, sculpted it painted it, wired it for interest and hanging, and voila... a blue hand! So lifelike you can even see the tendons!<br /><br />Measurements: 8&quot; long x 4&quot; wide overall; the opening is 2-1/2&quot; x 1-1/2&quot;. <br /><br />It&#39;s very lightweight and perfect for hanging a little bouquet of dried herbs or artificial flowers. Or use it to hold a pen and some paper by the phone. Or just hang it up and prepare some clever comebacks when everybody asks, &quot;What&#39;s THAT..?&quot; http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8542778 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:32:32 -0400 16.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.16213741.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11838662 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.27016386.jpg" /><br /> $10.00<br /> It&#39;s like a ball of yarn, only it&#39;s made from non-tarnish silver art wire. Nice chunky feel. Looks like real silver. Orb is approximately an inch in diameter.<br /><br />Please note: This necklace is now being made with an adjustable satin cord (no hook and eye clasp). http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11838662 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:32:32 -0400 10.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.27016386.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11314243 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.25283572.jpg" /><br /> $15.00<br /> Any bikers out there?...These earrings are made from shattered pieces of tail light reflectors I picked up on the road. They look very cool on. It&#39;s only when you get up close you can see what they really are. <br /><br />They measure approximately 2&quot; long. Sharp ends have been filed, but take care when handling because the object itself has sharpish features. <br /><br />Each pair is slightly different from what is pictured because each is an original. All are very cool. Please specify red or orange. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11314243 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:32:32 -0400 15.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.25283572.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9577214 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.19593284.jpg" /><br /> $15.00<br /> These colorful, lightweight earrings were made from recycled Starbucks cards. They are reversible and can give you three different mix and match combinations. Three pairs of earrings for the price of one! Measurements: approx. 2-1/4&quot; long x 5/8&quot; wide. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9577214 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:32:32 -0400 15.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.19593284.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9634762 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.19780672.jpg" /><br /> $10.00<br /> I made these earrings from decorative paper using traditional Japanese origami technique -- plus a little American bling. <br /><br />The earrings measure approx. 2-1/2&quot; inches long, including beads, and approx. 3/4&quot; wide at the widest point. Swarovski crystal beads dangle from the ends.<br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9634762 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:32:32 -0400 10.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.19780672.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6051224 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.8197829.jpg" /><br /> $8.00<br /> I made this brooch from an old faucet handle and a sparkly jewelry remnant. The faucet handle was in a bucket of old plumbing parts when I found it and had apparently been around a long time. It has a great patina and there are still traces of original paint on it. Measurements are roughly 2&quot;x2&quot;. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6051224 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:32:31 -0400 8.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.8197829.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6560429 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.9801362.jpg" /><br /> $7.00<br /> This ring looks good and feels GREAT! Two vintage buttons and a gold bead are layered and attached to a band of soft fiberglass mesh. The mesh makes this ring much more comfortable to wear than a conventional ring. <br /><br />FOR A CUSTOM FIT...Include your ring size in the &quot;instructions to seller&quot; box at the time you place your order, and I will customize this ring to fit your finger at no additional charge! If you don&#39;t know your ring size, tie a string around your finger and send me the string. Just be sure to ask for my address in the &quot;instructions to seller&quot; box. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6560429 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:32:31 -0400 7.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.9801362.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7720500 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.13547072.jpg" /><br /> $20.00<br /> This irresistable cowboy was hidden among other 40&#39;s-era snapshots in a little red plastic photo book. I took him home, painted and glittered him up, and added retro-western bling. He measures approx. 2&quot;x2&quot; (outside measurement) and hangs from a 23&quot; black elastic cord. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7720500 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:32:31 -0400 20.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.13547072.jpg new 1
