Heartwings



We are starting to create our own designs to display in the bottle caps, based on photos of objects transformed. Celena had painted a series of hearts with wings on the scrap metal back fence of her family´s house, and it seems a fitting symbol for how their will to thrive persists.

graphic cascade




This necklace uses caps from a small town in Bavaria, mixed with graphics from a Spanish design magazine.

Make an impression!





If I wear one of these out on a Saturday night people can't stop looking at my chest...for the stunning necklace, of course!

Cute little critters



OK, so this is some of the magic that comes from whimsy. Is it a latter day teletubbie?

2 in 1 bracelets




The graphics on the back side of these caps come from Patadeperro, Managua´s cultural activities magazine. The name means dog foot, and if you like to go out a lot you have pata de perro. A little Nica cultcha for ya.

Pendant-style necklaces






These are two-in-one necklaces, created either by putting 2 caps back to back or by inlaying an image in the back of the cap. Here we have the Jack of Hearts....

Keychains! Llaveros!





Keychains with a little something extra...And they're not only for keys! One of our musician friends put the long one on his guitar strap. Flair!
