    Do any of you keep old watches just because you hope that you will have a idea to use them ?

      hi Susan, I kept them, because I wanted to wear them again. I did put new batteries in it every time, but it didn't seem to work. Now I know why I kept them for all those years :-)

      I’ve kept mine, knowing I would find a use for them 😊

      I'm 63 yrs old and still have some from my childhood as well as my mom's old ones. Thanks for the wonderful ideas. I love how motivating you are. I can't wait to start on them!

      I keep mine too! I thought I was the only one, lol! I’m so glad to know that you, and other crafters, save/hoard weird/odd things too! Thank you for the great ideas as well!

    i would be hard pressed to pick a favorite tutorial from you but this one has to be near the top. Not only have it collected broken watches to use but my mom has given me her watch pieces collection as well, now that she is moving to assisted living. I think I will make her a pendant.

  • @jacquiliddell1811
    @jacquiliddell1811 Před 3 lety

    Wonderful! My favourite is the white one then the double watch faces. I do keep all my old watches but never thought I would do anything with them. OMG the last one is WOW,!

    Well what a treat, 2 videos from Susan. Thank you ! After a weekend of 12 hour shifts, I can relax now and watch your videos. The best part is I’m off for a week so can try these out😁. I am so very grateful to you for taking the time over the months to make these so we can learn and get inspiration from you beautiful pieces. We are expecting snow ☃️next week, we are in a lockdown, so the best thing to do is make these😁 perfect solution! Take care Susan.💕🐾🇬🇧⭐️

    I made one out of a tiny women's dress watch, the face was smaller than a dime. I used a tiny little charm of a swallow on a sky background and UV resin. The magnifying effect of the resin on the little charm is awesome. It was highly detailed but very cheaply made. This way I get to love the symbolism of the swallow (they always come home, year after year) without it getting bent or the gold tone finish wearing off.

And the parts that you take out can be used in resin or other polymer clay designs. I always love your work. Reusing and wasting nothing. Thank you😊

    Now I know what to do with all the old watch faces that I have. I have seen the ones where they put photos in them, which would only work for someone who knows the person in the photo. This project will make it work for anyone, great idea, you have more talent then any one person should be allowed to have. If one color looks good, make one in every color Lol! :)

    Mrs. Susan, you create the most beautiful jewelry. Your polymer clay videos, when CZcams first suggested them to me, were flabbergasting to me. I had no idea. And 2 years later I am still learning, and continue to be grateful that you take the time to help us! We had a diversion along the way. No worries! When I close my eyes, I can see more than before! Thank you! Blessings and Re Jouir -Darlene

    Hi Susan. I really didn't think I was going to like this tutorial. I was just thinking old junky watches...Well, you have never disappointed before and I am glad I watched the tutorial! These are simply beautiful! I like your style girl! You repurpose things all the time, never making it feel cheap or junky. Some people just glue an egg carton to a can and call it "art". You don't. I cannot tell you how many stashes I have now of things I used to throw away. Pieces of cardboard, things that make pretty textures...Thank you. This is just another one of your great creations. Thank you for sharing. Now, to go look through my watches...
