Upcycled Barrette: The gold-toned center piece with coral roses, which was originally from a bracelet, is approximately 1 1/2 inches tall. It's surrounded by a glass cabochon with various letters and another piece made from two antique watch dials, one of which still has its gold-toned hands. The watch dials show some signs of age, which give the piece a nostalgic feel. All of the pieces are attached to a silver-toned French style barrette.
Steampunk Pin: At approximately 1 inch high, this small pin adds flavor to outfits and accessories. Intricate features, such as tiny gold-toned gears, make this piece all the more captivating. Only the pin backing is new. All of the other parts, including the red cabochon, are either vintage or antique. Be environmentally conscious while still exhibiting style.Photo by Reija Bolwell of StudioR, Santa Cruz (http://www.studiorsantacruz.com).

I am sorry to say, that I find both of these to be kind of unattractive. Since I also create artistic items, some of what I do is not accepted either, but everyone likes the ones I do not like. I would like to see your purses though.

1) I love this old-fashioned pocket-watch (http://www.etsy.com/listing/81602077/vintage-westclox-bulls-eye-pocket-watch) because whenever my Grandparents would tell me a story involving one, this is similar to what I would picture.
