Is Bottle Cap Art Altered or Recycled?

I don't know what bottle cap art falls under - Altered? Trash to Treasure? But whatever category it falls under, I had a lot of fun creating this bracelet for a swap on the Art For The Creative Mind yahoo group.

Some of the ladies on there really have done some beautiful things, using jewelry pieces, chains...lots of bling. Problem is - I'm not a BLING type of gal, so it was hard for me to envision what I wanted to make.

I had all my supplies, most from Maya Road - so I knew that whatever I was going to make would be using those things that I already had. I hope my partner likes this - I had a lot of fun making it.
