sometimes you just get bored

paperclip bicycle

seaglass, fruit of the Thames

one of the things about living down river from London is that this area has been used as a dump for the capitals waste for centuries. On one of my wider ranging cycles routes (when I have the energy to get up early on a Sunday morning) is a rubbish land fill site slowly washing out into the river. I don't know exactly how old it is but around 1900's would be my guess

 this one appears to be the stem of a wine glass before it was ground smooth by the river

I think this was from the base of a glass, but could just as easily be the lid from something

road copper cross pendant

this was made with a piece of copper pipe found in the road, I really like the texture you get from a piece of metal that has been run over hundreds of times, I have tried to reproduce it with "virgin" copper but never succeeded

a late introduction

Hello, my name is john. I have created this blog as a place I can display all the things I have made. I have had no training or education with regards to creative design, art or any such related stuff, I just like doing this. A lot of my materials I find in the street, the best stuff is free, basically I make things out of rubbish. Copper is my preferred material because of its malleability.

I have a shop on folksy where you can buy some of my jewellery and you can also find me on facebook.

I also like my rock music so be warned
