Vintage Crosses

I made some crosses out of vintage folding rulers. I used my miter box and saw to cut the rulers into small segments to use. They worked up surprisingly fast and they were fun to make. I have been trying to deplete my current inventory to motivate me to get back into making new jewelry. This last sale I participated in- in December was another huge success and I am now down to just one box of items left.

With only the one box left (although its a stuffed box) I finally feel comfortable with making new jewelry.... which I like to make in bulk-- so my one box will soon be ten. *wink*

I am also in the midst of cleaning out my studio. Ok, more like getting reacquainted with my supplies. I have good intentions of getting rid of things, but you know--- it is all necessary stuff.

I made some white folding ruler crosses too. I don't like these ones as much, but seeing how they were cut-- I was committed to follow through. The metal bracket on the ruler didn't have a lot of wood extending past the bracket, so the cross arm is smaller.

 I have a bunch more cut and ready to be transformed into crosses but that will have to wait for another day. I have some leather roving that I am going to hang these from if it looks good. First, I must find the box of leather roving..... I know I have it somewhere~
