We have some on their way right now because I couldn't resist the beauty~ *_*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #783f04;"&gt;Anyways I realized that it would be extremely fun&amp;nbsp;to try and make some of these myself! I'm not by any means stealing this&amp;nbsp;person's idea {I only wish I was that creative ;D} btu I'm very tempted to see if I can actually do it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #783f04;"&gt;And the timing couldn't have been more perfect. My Nana and Grandad live next to a&amp;nbsp;man who died recently and my grandad has been helping the man's son's clean out the old barn/garage the man had. It's like a treausure cove of old junk! Including keys and gears and mini bolts and such like are used in these necklaces!!^^ There's none of the cool old Skeleton keys but these ar ejust for fun anyways :3 I think I'll try and find some on eBay though...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;﻿ &lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tv5Vq1HQrkQ/TbyjU2CYhGI/AAAAAAAAADQ/7xjL5U8gWnw/s1600/114_3950.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" j8="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tv5Vq1HQrkQ/TbyjU2CYhGI/AAAAAAAAADQ/7xjL5U8gWnw/s320/114_3950.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;The little box of gears, keys and locks from the old garage^^&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;﻿ &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #783f04;"&gt;And&amp;nbsp;this is what we've done as far as materials and ideas so far! They will probably end up being necklaces/jewelry if I didn't already mention it ;D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YUq2KN7332E/TbyjdNhaiNI/AAAAAAAAADU/-ZgKXgjmQX4/s1600/keys1.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" j8="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YUq2KN7332E/TbyjdNhaiNI/AAAAAAAAADU/-ZgKXgjmQX4/s400/keys1.bmp" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vXG-VMeufy8/Tbyj7i7LycI/AAAAAAAAADY/3w3XWkJ91wA/s1600/lknbvcx.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" j8="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vXG-VMeufy8/Tbyj7i7LycI/AAAAAAAAADY/3w3XWkJ91wA/s400/lknbvcx.bmp" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HlQPxhnRU3k/TbykDUXpMcI/AAAAAAAAADc/5CDqc5apahM/s1600/dfkjl.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" j8="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HlQPxhnRU3k/TbykDUXpMcI/AAAAAAAAADc/5CDqc5apahM/s400/dfkjl.bmp" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #783f04;"&gt;Here's to hoping we'll get somehting fun out of this new project!! :D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4580312299559390180-442934653610823574?l=craftyartists.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://craftyartists.blogspot.com/feeds/442934653610823574/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://craftyartists.blogspot.com/2011/04/first-entry-key-to-this-project.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4580312299559390180/posts/default/442934653610823574'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4580312299559390180/posts/default/442934653610823574'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://craftyartists.blogspot.com/2011/04/first-entry-key-to-this-project.html' title='.:First Entry: The KEY to This Project...:.'/><author><name>Mo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03368356978460768153</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_88213xjsiko/TRj0PVEFptI/AAAAAAAAABU/eGmaiflrb78/S220/Snapshot_20101016_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tv5Vq1HQrkQ/TbyjU2CYhGI/AAAAAAAAADQ/7xjL5U8gWnw/s72-c/114_3950.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
