Time For a Different Perspective... Or How MadScientistsDesigns Came To Be

Found on Birdcam Italia

Sometimes you just have to stand back and look at things a new way. As an amateur radio operator I always wondered if there was a way to re-purpose the old, used, non-working vacuum tubes.... Vacuum tubes are delicate, intricate, little works of glass art used to power radios and other equipment...

MadScientistsDesigns: vintage vacuum tubes

 Out of this a business was born: MadScientistsDesigns. Over the years I have created different jewelry and Christmas ornaments with these little beauties:

MadScientistsDesigns: Steampunk Tesla Vacuum Tube Necklace

 I continue to create with vintage vacuum tubes, but I have also learned new jewelry styles and techniques. You can see more vacuum tube jewelry and my other creations here.

What can you breathe new life into?
