Took a momentary break from the work/school grind to make a few bracelets tonight.
Once I can force myself to finish The Three-Body Problem, I’ll post a review of it. Currently on chapter 22 of 34-ish. If you can’t tell, here’s a spoiler: I won’t be praising it.
Today I was looking around for a bookmark and was about to resign myself to just grabbing a scrap of paper when I recalled that I had purchased some clamps to make Ribbon Bookmarks back when I was actively doing projects. Using a 22mm gunmetal clamp on a length of 7/8″ ribbon (sized for standard soft cover books), I attached a dragonfly pendant on one end and a loner lampwork blue bead to the other, squeezed the clamp shut and had a new bookmark!
If you’re curious about the book, it’s “How to Quinoa: Life Lessons From My Imaginary Well-Dressed Daughter” by Tiffany Beveridge. It’s a humorous book stemmed from a hilarious Pinterest board that you should definitely follow.

Today’s project was the Leaf Fall Earrings. It features a maple leaf dangling from several chain links with faceted Czech glass beads dropping along the chain’s length.
Today’s project was two pairs of Color Loop Earrings. The set on the left used scrap from headpins for its colorful gemstone dangle, while the set on the right used tiny colored jump rings for the Swarovski cube color loop.
