Tim's Trinkets for swap

Made up some more trinkets while watching TV with the kids. I am waiting for my ball chain to show up to make them into necklaces. They are part of the Trinket pendants for the Ask Suze Yahoo group swap.

Finished Trinket

Here is one that I finished. I used the swirl grungeboard. I painted a thin coat of the acrylic pesto paint that Adirondack used to call their 3D paint. It is their metallic acrylic paint with a tip at the end of a squeeze bottle. Let dry. Sand swirly raised part. Use frayed burlap or vintage photo Distress Inks and swipe across raised areas. Used black StazOn and stamped randomly on grungeboard with text stamp. Add text from book with glue - distressed first with Distress Inks. Put on a painted copper strip with eyelets. Added a bottom piece. The lower right thing is a fuse lamp. Much fun doing that last night. Fuse held to grungeboard with a little glue and wire. The metal part of the pendant is attached only at the top with a jump ring through the grungeboard. Much fun, much fun. Did not take very long.

Comments welcome.

WIP pendants

This is what I have done so far for the Tim's Trinkets Pendant Swap. I was watching the new Friday nite cartoons with my kids and had to do this so my head would not melt. I still have to do the background and wait for the ball chain to show up. I ordered some from Suze and I am waiting for it.

My newest choker

I was making samples pendants for my Tim's Trinkets Pendants Swap when I decided to make this last night. I had 3 small pieces that I got from Zoa Art that I wanted to use. I have a couple of bracelets like this and I decided that I did not need another. I thought it looked best as a choker instead of a hanging necklace. Yes, I have a small neck. Even my dh liked this. He gave me a more elaborate comment than "that's nice!". You will also see some Tim's Trinkets in there. Tim's trinkets are Tim Holtz Idea-ology pieces. Suze Weinberg called them trinkets so that kinda stuck with me.

My newest bracelets

Not feeling too well today. So, I just rested and did some assembling. I recently got some of the new Tim Holtz Idea-ology sprockets, swivel clasps, and trinket pins. It is amazing what can be done with some black cord, wire, and jump rings. I have very small wrists - that is why the bracelets look small - because they are! I did the one on the right a couple of days ago and have been wearing it. People have been commenting about it when I am out. A group of volleyball players wanted me to teach them how to make it! The one on the left was done while I was watching reruns of CSI after dinner. The swivel clasps and trinket pins are great as clasps.

While you are there, take a look at the bezels she carries. I think they are great for UTEE or resin. I am waiting for the copper ring bezels to show up.
