Messy
Sometimes you can gauge the day just by the mess left behind.
Today was a good day.

If It Works
It’s true. I’ll use any handy thing for a kumihimo weight.
Hey, if it works, it’s good.
Now where are my car keys?

Perfect Camouflage
I’m persnickety. No one doubts this, right?
I found a comfortable denim jacket that met all my standard criteria: comfortable fit, great length and perfectly-sized pockets … and the jacket was even in the exact shade of color I wanted. I didn’t hesitate to buy it, even though it had the maker’s tag sewn right on a front pocket. Ew.
Why didn’t I hesitate? Because I knew I could trim that little tag right off. And I did.
Tag be gone!
Which left an unsightly dark splotch where the denim underneath the tag didn’t fade during the pre-washing-whatever-process that denim jacket maker people do. I suffered through wearing the blemish for about a week. Then my new Nunn Design components arrived. Ta-daaa!
Empty Nunn Design ® Oval Brooch component
I just knew an oval brooch would camouflage that darkened denim blemish perfectly.
Perfect camouflage.
And it did! But there is more to the story. As if perfect camouflage isn’t enough … the brooch can also be worn as a pendant. Score!
It’s a brooch; it’s a pendant.
I like this Nunn Design ® brooch so much, I’ll be adding all available shapes to my shop: oval, round, rectangular. Thank you, Becky Nunn!
And yes, I made multiple brooches while I experimented. Because they’re super simple to make … and super fun to wear.
Waterproof brooch/pendant with vintage kimono fabric design, hand made by Monica at Ikumihimo.
Persnicketiness pays. Oh, and if you like the art in these brooch designs, you’ll want to read all about my secret.
