ODDFELLOWS......."on my bench"

Bits and pieces of Oddfellow medals,
Old shoebutton
 Lourdes medal,
Watch/clock key
Antique agate bead




Oddfellow medallion
Clay beads from Steph
Old tapemeasure 
Jasper with fossils in it (Steph)
Antique agate bead

I have wanted to use this old tapemeasure in a piece of jewelry for a long time.
I have seen a lot of gals out there doing some wrapping with strips of saris
and other fabric but this old dingy tape 
just happened to suit my color palette .

The fraternal organization Oddfellows
dates back to the 18th century.
You can easily find their history online if you are at all interested.
I just really like their OLD medals and jewelry.
Something about that big funky eye??
I have a few more pieces of old broken Oddfellow ribbon holders that I have picked up.......
So will probably make a couple more pieces.
