Recycled Typewriter Ball Earrings

Created by hand from vintage IBM Selectric typewriter balls….a sure-fire conversation piece for the uber eco techy gals in the audience…..

They look like metal, but actually are made of plastic and are not too heavy …they come in lots of cool colors!!
$40.00 for the ball shape and $22.00 for the ‘partial ball’ shape at KittenLab’s Etsy Shop

Those are great earrings – I love how you used a typewriter to make them. They almost look african or egyptian too.

How are these considered recycled balls when they are made of plastic?

That’s awesome because I bet a lot of typewriter equipment went to waste when computers took over.
