A Bundle of Hopes & Wishes (Somerset Studio)

Hello
This is another of those posts relating to an article in Somerset Studio, Jan/Feb, cannot believe it is from so long ago.  The items were made in answer to an art call in Somerset Life, Gifts of Positivity but as sometimes happens, they will move projects to another magazine title, I was just thrilled that they wanted to publish them whether in Somerset Life or Somerset Studio!
I had received a bundle of wooden word charms from Red Lead and for some reason, the notion of making trinket pins entered my head.  In the intro of the article I write that I was making an effort to use supplies which were ever so slightly unloved or I was saving, such as some Idea-ology items.  I never did embrace the whole Tim Holtz style but like so many others, was drawn to some of the Idea-ology items, preferring them for Mixed Media wearable art, etc.
This is what a bundle of Hopes & Wishes looks like, gathered together, attached to the presentation idea I had for each trinket pin.

I only worked, deliberately, with a handful of supplies.

I received the journal tickets from an art friend (Sam) and they were exactly what the pins were looking for as a presentation idea.

In Somerset Studio, I liked the way they attached this particular pin to a swath of fabric.

A tiny amount of mica flakes, on the engraved wooden word charm, to catch the light.

The wooden wing is also from Red Lead.  If you have not explored their wooden items then it would be worth your while, they have an extensive range.

Pearls and rhinestones embellish this pin.

Shine Bright is the sentiment spelled out with this pin.


A final Wish.


Thank you so much for your visit.
Wishes
Lynne
