Trinket #356 - Bauble Bracelet

The decorations are finally up and the kids are officially going nuts. This quick bracelet was about all I could muster! It's made from a pre-fab bracelet and a big orange glass bead. Simple, but fun.

Trinket #314 - Carnelian Loop Earrings

I picked up these simple hoops and figured they'd be perfect for another quick sick-day trinket. Yep, I was right.

Trinket #279 - Carnelian Ring

Another LONG day, another quick trinket. This time, it's a ring made from silver wire and a chunk of yellow-orange carnelian.

Trinket #267 - Citrine Candy Corn Earrings

Okay, they're not really supposed to be candy corn, but the teardrop shape combined with the gradual darkening near the bottom of each bead made it so candy corn was all I could see. It's either that, or I have a bad case of Halloween on the brain. (Probably the latter - I did pick up four masks and a basket full of glow sticks FOR NO REAL REASON at Target today. Someone hide my debit card!)

Trinket #255 - Carnelian Earrings

I've always been fascinated by natural stones. I spent the better part of the day yesterday combing through gem catalogs, so today I decided to use a couple from the stash to create these earrings. This pair is made from two tumbled chunks of carnelian.

Fall still seems far away here in central Virginia, where the high temperature tomorrow is still in the lower nineties, but I'm going to be getting ready for the changing foliage by pulling out the autumn colors over the next week or so.
