Wonder and Whimsy Monthly Challenge - August Reveal

You know, I had so much more I wanted to finish for this challenge. I have three additional projects in the works, but due to a major plumbing fiasco/repair (hurray for living in a house built in 1929 that still had the original pipes!), I just haven't had the time.

Ah well. I did at least finish something, so I don't have to come to this entry empty-handed.

But, I get ahead of myself. Today is the reveal for August's Wonder and Whimsy Monthly Challenge! Hurray! 

As a reminder, the theme this month was coffee.

Although I had something in the works that matches the above picture, the set that I made matches this second one a bit better:

...And so, without any further ado, I present:

The Coffee Drip Necklace

It's made with Czech glass coffee bean beads, paired with silvertone metal. I went with the asymmetrical look to accentuate the look of dripping coffee... it's really fun when worn, and looks exactly like I had planned.

For fun, I also made some matching earrings:

...and a matching mask:

...I love how close the mask is to the second coffee picture I shared. *grin*

So, there you go! That's what I made to go with this challenge. Thanks so much for stopping by today to see what I've been up to... Have a wonderful end of August, everyone!

Wonder and Whimsy Monthly Challenge - August Edition

I'm actually still working on a few additional pieces for last month's challenge, but I would be remiss if I didn't introduce the theme for this month's Wonder and Whimsy challenge. And trust me--it's a fun one!

What is it? Well, I'll give you a hint:

That's right! The theme for this month's challenge is...

Coffee!

It was inspired by some nostalgia, honestly. I was looking through my pictures from last year, which included multiple trips to coffee shops with my friends. I miss going to coffee shops with my friends--and, you know, actually going inside to sit down.

So, to tide myself over while I wait for the opportunity to once more arise, I am going to make jewelry based on all those wonderful artisan coffee drinks that I was able to enjoy... and look forward to enjoying again.

Be sure to come by on Friday, August 28th to see what I've made.

Thanks so much for stopping by today... Have a wonderful August, everyone!
