Lemons into lemonaid...

Last night, as we were eating our pork tenderloin with rice and field peas, I went all Incredible Hulk on my lovely silver fork. It was one of those moments where you put exactly the right amount of pressure on something at the right place, and it bends just so:

Yep. No kidding. You should have seen my face. I could have bent the fork back into shape, but this sort of sparked an idea in my mind. The designs were beautiful up close, and I decided to try and make something out of it.

Using some bolt cutters and (wait for it) a dremel drill-like manicure kit, we remove the prongs and bent it into  a pendant. 

I had a few other dangly bits left over from a necklace I haven't worn in forever, so I strung them all onto a long chain with some beautiful ribbon.

I will probably fiddle around with it by adding a second chain to make it look a little more tangled, but I'm pretty happy with where it is going.

Everyday objects. Sometimes you don't notice the details until the whole is broken into parts.
