Trinket #331 - Wooly Bohemian Bracelet

I spent another day decluttering and organizing. It's amazing how much stuff can accumulate in such a small house when you have four people under the same roof! Still, the process has been strangely rejuvenating for my spirit and I'm eager to get things streamlined so that my ideas can more easily turn into tangible things. We're very close!

This trinket was a quick crocheted bracelet made from two chunky wool yarns in delightful shades of chocolate brown and soft sky blue.

Trinket #247 - Hemp and Glass Necklace

I'm getting that traveling itch again. I realized today that I have an airline credit for a ticket I had to cancel a year ago that needs to be used by October 9th or I'll lose it. (Not helping one bit.) Anyway, that gypsy jones inspired this bohemian hemp and glass necklace. Maybe I'll get a chance to wear it on a trip soon?

Trinket #246 - Confetti Earrings

Tonight's creation was made with a variety of beads dug out from the depths of the junk box (yet again), some head pins, and a soundtrack of The Beatles "Magical Mystery Tour" album. Fitting.

Trinket #213 - Bohemian Bead Earrings

I figured that I'd make a matching pair of earrings to go with yesterday's necklace. These feature two fat amber glass beads on a funky, freestyle-twisted antique bronze wire. I think they've inspired me to go with a more "relaxed" wire style for a while, so I'm sure you'll see more free form bits in the near future.

Trinket #212 - Bohemian Beaded Necklace

I tried my hardest to spend more than fifteen minutes on today's trinket, and despite the countless interruptions, I eventually succeeded! The product of my work this evening is this necklace made from a variety of green and amber glass beads and some lovely antique bronze wire. In all, it clocked in at around a half-hour. Not too shabby for a busy Sunday night!

Trinket #173 - Gypsy Bracelet

Don't let the simple look of this bracelet deceive you - those wire-wrapped ends are a MONSTER to manage. I defeated the beast and survived to create a handmade clasp to finish it off. Mission accomplished.

This trinket was made using only a scrap of vintage ribbon and some silver wire.
