Upcycle

 Upcycle

     I had gotten an old pin, that needed a little work.  The catch was loose, so I tightened it.  As I did so, the catch broke.  I removed the pin and finished the back.  The colorless cabochon had old, yellowing glue, showing through.  The cabochon was easy to pop out and I also removed the flower.  Once the old glue was removed, I assembled it with good glue and tatted around it.  When I tat around old jewelry, I want the tatting to be an extension of the embellishment.
