Baubles
"Human, what is the purpose of the head covering you are wearing?"
"This? It's a hat, it keeps my head warm."
"Yes, I understand that, but why does it have a ball of strings on the top?"
"Oh, that? It's called a bauble, or a pom-pom. They're mainly used for decoration, but I've heard they originated with sailors, who used them as a sort of sensory extension so they'd know when they were about to hit their heads."
"That is BRILLIANT. Can you show me how to make one?"
"You knit?"
"Sure! Loads of us do! Knitting is one of the most basic ways of turning fiber into cloth, most sapient species have something like it. Show me how to make this 'bauble.'"
*a few weeks later*
"Do you like it?"
"Um... yeah, it's great. You really like baubles, huh?"
"I love them. I posted a tutorial video online, it's well on its way to being the new fashion."
"That's... great bud. Good for you."

Something Sunday!
No one tagged me but I'm excited to show you some baubles I made yesterday so I'm kicking things off early.
I basically haven't touched the baubles at all since I showed you the Barbie one last week... They're just not a lot of fun to make. But I sat down yesterday, put Brooklyn 99 on (again) and did some work. So here they are:
I'm very pleased with the pride bauble, I just need to work on adapting some other pride flags now. There's only 2 weeks until the faire though so other flags might have to wait until next year, I just have too much left to do for this one!
Share some of your creative genius friends!

Trinkets! Bits and bobs! Shinies!
A small selection of colorful baubles from my collection of Stuff.
Including driftwood, opalite, bismuth, rose quartz, a dried fringed sawgill mushroom, some dried flowers (I don't remember what kind), a pair of vintage clip-on earrings I thrifted, an art nouveau matchbook from my Nana's collection, a tooth pendent from my grandpapa's old jewelry-making supplies, a rose shaped floating candle, a small gold box encrusted with rhinestones, and some other random stones.
This is my first such post, I hope y'all see something that makes you happy!
