Wonder and Whimsy October Challenge: Falling Leaves

It’s October! 

Here in my part of the United States, Autumn colors are just now starting to seep in. They haven’t completely taken over yet, though; the green isn’t completely gone. The result is a beautiful patchwork of oranges and yellows mixed with an array of emerald and peridot greens.

It really is lovely.

I know that I’ve mentioned this before… Autumn is my favorite time of year. Each season has its appeal—Spring brings joyful renewal, Winter has cozy stillness—but I do love the crisp freshness of Fall. It’s a season of sweaters and soup, watching rain through colored leaves, taking walks while smelling wood-stove duskiness. 

More vacation pictures! Taken through a car window.

More vacation pictures! Yep, still from the car.

...it really was a lovely vacation.

And so, I decided to dedicate this month’s challenge to making Autumn-inspired jewelry. More specifically, I want to make Autumn-tree-inspired jewelry. After all… since I love Fall so much, why not make a little bit of it to wear?

So! That’s what I’ll be up to this month. Be sure to come by on October 25th, the last Friday of the month, to see what I end up making for this challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by to see what I’m up to… have a lovely day, everyone!
