I am having a hard time believing that that these Pop Rock & Roll Earrings by designer Millie Hilgert are made from recycled records and not from those tasty lollipops you got at the bank as a kid.

However she achieves their candylicious color and shine, you gotta admit these earrings are pretty darn cute. And like other stuff crafted from vinyl featured on this blog, no rare LPs were harmed in the process.

Speaking of process, Millie Hilgert hand-cuts and hand-crafts these earrings herself. You can see more of her rock & roll-inspired repurposed handiwork at Etsy.

If you’re like me, you probably have lots of bits and pieces of music memorabilia littering your drawers and shelves. Why not commemorate that life-changing concert experience by turning one of those souvenirs into art?

This 6.75″ square frame, made from recycled LPs,  has a 5″ x 5″ opening. It’s the perfect size for ticket stubs, concert snapshots, the set list you nabbed after the show, or perhaps your prized autograph obtained during your stalking chance meeting of Clay Aiken.

Although you’ll find similar products elsewhere, I like this one in particular because a) the frames are handmade by Philadelphia-based artist Jeff Davis, and b) he uses records that are scratched/no longer playable. (All you vinyl aficionados can now breathe a sigh of relief.)

Mr. Davis makes a slew of other cool products from old records, so check those out while you’re at it.
