Believe it or not, the delicate, fluffy 'beads' on this pair of earrings are made out of old socks. The look a far cry from the sort of thing I find at the back of my linen basket, but I'm sure that with a bit of love and attention, even the stiffest and smelliest old socks could be turned into something lovely, and that's Tabychan's unique skill.
Citing 'all recycled material' as her favourite medium, Tabychan sells beautiful, vibrantly coloured necklaces and other visual treats inclucing juggling balls in her shop. Prices start at just $8.

Very clever. Did you buy them or were they sent to you? I'm still not sure that recycled shocks will become a fasionable jewelry item. But upcycled jewelry really seems to be taking off.
