Day 3: Halloween Charm Bracelet
I did actually finish this bracelet on Day 3, but only minutes before midnight and crashed so hard after. It's store-bought chain, using charms from Oriental Trading Co., but I haven't made jump rings in over a decade. Normally I don't notice, but the ends of each jump ring had to be sanded smooth and it was 20 gauge dead soft wire...a bit of a challenge for my hands, much less my shoulders. Also, chains twist and some charms took a couple of tries to orient properly. It's fun to wear; I am going to enjoy this one!
For Day 4, I am probably going to start on a messenger bag project that I want to create to show off patches and pins from bands I try to see. I have a basic plan (re: scribbles on a note pad), but need to actually start pattern drafting. I don't know yet if I will have it at a place where it can be photographed. I considered just buying a pattern, but I didn't find one I liked and my inspiration is a few patches that I am certain will look great as pockets.
