So it is really hard to talk about gears without talking about Tim Holtz. He designs great die cuts and he has these really sweet little gears, keys, latches, watch faces......you name it, he already thought of it. I have a little divided box in my studio that has a little of everything from the world of Tim. Something great is always inspired by his embellishments. Anyway I decided that felt gears and brass gears should come together in the perfect storm of creativity and with some embroidery and the final touch of attaching them to a suede necklace, they would become industrial jewelry.
