This was the Halloween choker in its early stages. I finished it recently and it came together quite nicely.
I also did a byzantine weave of orange, purple, and black. Purple is definitely the third Halloween color but doesn’t get the same amount of representation as orange and black.
I’ve paired light blue, pink, and yellow in the past from one retailer and it had this delightful birthday cake vibe to it. I tried the same colors from another retailer. It’s less Happy Birthday and more Malibu Barbie but still pretty.

I’ve had a few colors that I absolutely loved and have been able to do some fun things with them.
I found these charms at a craft store a while back and have been trying to find as much fun stuff to do with them as possible. Because they’ve got a bit of weight to them the help the box weave hold really well.
I’ve done shaggy weave with larger rings but I wasn’t sure how it would look with smaller rings. It moves a lot more since there are more rings to move. The earrings are more delicate and have less open space. The size makes the necklace look less chaotic but still has that same energy. And I ran out of the purple base color so I had to add the last few inches in the other colors. I’m planning on rocking these to a wedding later this month.
I have been less than stellar about sharing past projects even though I’ve been enjoying them. These are earrings I made in my original design on a recent lunch break.
Each of them has a mate that’s not pictured. I’ve been rocking the blue and violet one lately. It goes well with some other stuff that I made.
I'm not a huge fan of yellow but I wanted to experiment more with it. I think the shininess of the blue offsets the more matte purple. I love the trio. The colors are very eye catching. That one I saved for me. I've gotten several compliments.
Reminiscing To: The Kiss Off by Brooke Allison
I’ve been terrible about updating. My social life bloomed and I went and got a boyfriend whose family likes me so I’ve been in demand lately. Part of the trouble is the time involved in taking pictures. I have to set up all the backgrounds, get the lighting right, load the photos, move them around so I can upload them to Blogger. My photos won’t be Etsy perfect but here’s my latest project:
It won’t be a choker or a bracelet but rather a headpiece. I have a TARDIS costume but nothing for my head. When I was at the RenFest with a few friends recently they were perusing chainmaille headpieces when I saw a design I could easily execute. It’s light, simple, and the right colors. It’s not as cute as a tiny top hat but it will be far less annoying to my perpetually unburdened head. I'll post another picture once I'm done.
