After all, every day is Halloween... so says Ministry. Every ornament, necklace, bracelet, and earring is woven together, a ring at a time, from shiny made-in-the-USA aluminum rings.

WORKS!
I make lamps out of anything that will hold still long enough to drill a hole in it. My specialties are 8mm movie projectors, typewriters, coffee percolators, toasters...you know, retro hipster stuff. I might have your grandmother's hair drier with a light bulb sticking out of it, or a blowtorch your grandfather once used with a lovely beaded shade mounted on top.
