Useless Trinkets Halloween Hop

EDIT: My apologies to my Hop mates and to those of you

trying to hop along in order on Saturday. I didn't get my post

auto posted properly and ended up being the weakest link in this hop.

I hate it when that happens... 

It's that time of year again, when the amazingly talented 

Jessa of Useless Trinkets fame generously shares her art with the 

masses for the incredibly low price of ....FREE.

Yes, you read that right, she gives her art away for free.

Because she's cool like that. 

I was inspired by the gathering of multiple new monsters

and my dear DT mate Arwen, to try my hand at making jewelry.

I began with some shrink plastic that I taped to a sheet of printer paper

and printed the new kids in fairly large sizes. Maybe 3 inches high, or so.

I used Copics to color everyone on the rough side of the plastic.

I trimmed all the monsters and bats out, punched the holes for the findings,

and then used a heat gun to shrink them down to size. I added some white gel

pen as highlights for more interest.

I added the charms to a ready made charm bracelet a few links apart

to give everyone space to shine individually.  

Some of the highlights worked out better than others...

I added some silver charms and glass beads to the bracelet

to fancy it up some. And to make it look fuller and prettier. 

I may be wearing this to work next week.

Be sure to hop along to all of the blogs and see what 

fun and creative projects everyone has cooked up with the new

freebies. And don't forget to grab your very own freebies, too!
