<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Barn Owl, post: 789510, member: 4864&quot;]This might end up being a controversial thread, so apologies.</p><p><br /></p><p>What are your thoughts on re-purposing *cough* destroying *cough* antiques? Such as, binding handmade journals with antique book covers, shabby chic-ifying old furniture, cutting out the pictures from old books/magazines, and so on?</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I ask is that whenever I come across old worn coins for a quarter or two each, I buy them up. I&#039;ve been stockpiling them with the sole intent of repurposing them into buttons and jewelry. I always check online to make sure they&#039;re not rare dates, but considering how many coins were minted and how mine are never worth more than $1 catalog value, I don&#039;t think it&#039;s sacrilege to repurpose them (Especially since I come across Victorian-era coin jewelry frequently).</p><p><br /></p><p>Your thoughts? Any scandalous destruction you enjoy indulging in? Any time you were outraged or horrified by another person&#039;s wanton destruction?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
