My head exploded (in a good way)





This is what happens when you visit the Tokyo City Flea Market in Oi Keibajo. You go totally nuts. 
I was hunting for cheap vintage jewelry to tear apart for a new project of mine, and man oh man, do they have what I was looking for. Some treasures there and I didn't spend more than 3000 yen (25$).







Beautiful gemstones, pearls, chain maille, and a lot of bling. All of this is going to be dismantled and.. well, you'll see.







Love those golden squares!








That flea market is held every Saturday and Sunday of the year. Oh dear. I'm gone…

  3. Glad you like it my dear people. I hope your head is OK now. Mine is still a little bit exploded :-) Anonymous, that's a great outfit alright!! Would love to chop this up. Pamela, we'll go there next time you visit Tokyo, you will find all kinds of oldies to recycle for your art. I like the little round balls too, I think I will pair them with the squares in some way. Stay tuned!! :-))) (can't say more).
