I found all kinds of stuff - they put them on barrels, old wood boxes, horse water troughs, pallets, drawers, old wire spools, you name it.

I have a whole storage tub of them that I bought at an auction about 2 years ago. I haven't come up with an idea for them yet either.

Are they china or metal or wood? Maybe a pendant(remove hardware..or not?) I would think the china ones would take alcohol inks but maybe better left as is as a base (any of the 3 types) layer a washer, a bottlecap, a photo under a soldered glass bit? They have a central hole like a donut..maybe wrap with beaded wire? Hmmm..I have a bunch too someplace. I had an artist buy some from my Etsy shop (when I had them on there) and she used them as feet for mixed media soft sculture pieces. I have thought they would be cool on cobblers lasts/ wooden shoe forms but haven't got that idea out of my head and into reality yet!

You are right, Mamie Jane used castors for book ends - she also put photos around the castor wheels. November 16, 2011
