Trinket #354 - Bundle O' Beads Ring

Another ring, just like I promised! This one is made by simply stringing glass beads onto a steel wire and wrapping it to the ring blank. I like the easy, organic look and feel of this one, and it's probably a project I will repeat.

Trinket #353 - Leaf Skeleton Ring

I found this piece of a gold leaf skeleton in a parking lot a few weeks ago. I love the way some of the gold has been worn away, and I thought it would pair well with some vintage-looking glass beads and a bronze ring blank. I am pleased!

Also, I recently picked up a bundle of these antiqued bronze ring blanks and discovered that they are quite fun to use. I'm betting you can expect to see more trinkets using them over the next few days...

Trinket #219 - Green Glass Ring

It's starting to become a strange game to see how long I can go without restocking my silver wire. One good thing is that the process has made me look at what I DO have with a different perspective. Take this trinket, for instance. I really don't care for gold, but I like the way it pairs with this spring green glass bead to give this ring a warm, fresh look. This is not what I would have made if I had had other wire handy, but I'm happy with the result nonetheless.

Trinket #179 - Trapped Crystal Ball

Today's trinket was a special request from my daughter. Sadly, I don't have any gold chain on which to hang this pendant, so you'll just have to use your imagination!

Also, don't forget that there is a TRINKET GIVEAWAY going on. If you have a tip that could help to keep someone motivated in their creative pursuits, simply leave it as a comment at the post linked above to qualify for one of FIVE freebies!

Trinket #45 - Tacky Gold Hearts

Nope, I didn't go with today's creative prompt for this trinket. It's Valentine's Day, and (in my opinion) that called for something tacky. Isn't that what everything Valentine's Day is about? Gaudy, garish, glitter - all of those G-words!

In honor of the holiday, I decided on these quick gold wire heart earrings with faceted jet beads. I am a little ashamed of myself, but hey - another trinket done!

Trinket #40 - Big Bundle Ring

Another ring day!. This time I chose gold again this time and paired it with two small Tiger's Eye stones and a large Jasper. I love the weird shape of the center stone - it reminds me a little of a fossilized tooth of some kind or a sliver of petrified wood.

In case you didn't guess already, this is the "Big Bundle" ring because it is wrapped twice as many times as the rings I've made in the past, resulting in a strong and hefty band. This one is a little too small for me (that, and I don't normally wear gold) so I guess I'll be finding it another hand to embellish!

Can you believe that forty days of this project have passed already?
