courage to create Xchange

I love Michele's DVD! I've been posting about it because I love the ideas and want more people to check it out. I've had so much fun making all the jewelry! I was wondering if anyone knew of some cool ways to take scrap metals and make them into cool jewelry or where to get other metal products for jewelry other than what is sold at art stores.

the hardware store is the best place to shop, even salvage stores.
recently I found some good copper and brass rings in the plumbing section of Home Depot, the electrical department has good stuff too, washers, springs, yard sales are great places also.
