Made to Order!

We have been rather busy here at the Trinity's Trinkets Studio!  We are now offering some of our cases on a "Made to Order" basis.  These cases are all fabrics that I have in stock and can be made at any time.  By doing this, we will have more time to focus on new designs and custom cases for clients.  While I am pretty fast to turn most items around, I do ask to allow 2-3 weeks shipping time.  I can only work when Aiden allows me ;-).  So please be sure to check the details of your listing to see if it is a ready to ship or made to order.  Here are just some of the cases we are offering as made to order.

 

We are officially on Twitter!

Well I held off as long as I could!  I finally took the dive and created a twitter account for the shop.  I'm still not 100% sure what I am doing but I am sure I can figure it out :-)!  I will be using our twitter account to keep everyone in the loop when new items are posting and flash sales (these could be big you are going to want to join)!  I will also be sharing any and all things knitting related.  I am following a few knitting groups and have already found some wonderful things to share. 

So if you are "Tweeter", find us and follow along!  You can also go to the shop and click Follow in the upper right corner below our shop banner.  We can be found at:

New Fabrics!

So I went a little nuts this weekend and picked up some new fabrics to try out!  Here is a sneak peak of cases to come! If you see something you like let me know!  I am taking custom orders again and would be happy to work with you to create your dream case!

I have also decided to add an album to our facebook page dedicated to our available fabrics!  I am frequently asked what I have available and it would be great to be able to simply refer people to the album.  I will post the fabrics I have in matched sets I like.  This should be available for viewing in he next few days.

All matchy matchy, I get it!

  I get it that most knitters (including myself) tend to want everything to match.  As we are releasing new case styles this dream will become a reality.  Here is the first set of matching cases from Trinity;s Trinkets.  They look like the same case right?  They are not!

 One case is our classic case to hold your Interchangeable Knitting needles.

 The other is our latest design the DPN case! 

If you already have one of our interchangeable cases and are interested in a matching DPN case please contact us via Etsy or email us at TrinitysTrinkets@hotmail.com.  Many of the fabrics we have used in the past are still available and we can make your matchy matchy dream a reality!

Getting back to the studio! New cases on the way!

Hello everyone!  I finally feel like its time to get back into the studio.  Aiden is doing much better with amusing himself for a while.  That coupled with a nice afternoon nap means momma can get some work done!  Thanks to some amazing sales recently for the holidays, I have some fantastic new fabrics for cases.  Here is a sneak peak of things to come!

 

Hopefully some of these pouches will be in the shop this week!  Stay tuned!

o Tell us a little about yourself
I am a wife and mom to an 8 year old little girl and 2 year old little boy. My husband is a cyclist and works as a bicycle mechanic in a bicycle shop. We live in beautiful Colorado Springs, Colorado. I started on my home business adventure 8 years ago with henna body art. I grew from doing parties and festivals to contracts with entertainment companies. Last Christmas, I decided to hand make all of my gifts. I made jewelry for all of the women in my family and they absolutely loved it, so I reopened my Etsy shop in February and it has taken off.

 
o Where does your inspiration come from?
My friends! I have some amazingly talented friends who are photographers, models, body painters, makeup artists, performance artists, painters, sculptors, etc. Also, where I live. I live in a beautiful area and can see the mountains by just looking out of my window.

 


 o Who has influenced you the most in your creations?

Wire artists such as Nurrgula, Twisted Sister Arts, Lirimaer, Cook on Strike, and Nix Creations.

o How would you describe your creative process?

Sometimes I will pick a color scheme and it will determine how my piece comes together. Other times I will see a shape, make the shape in wire,   and then build around that shape.

o How do you get out of creative ruts?

By visiting the local bead shops. There is one I go to regularly where the owner has traveled around the world and brought back several kinds of stone beads and metal components. Each piece I have found in there seems to have its own personality and I know just what to do with it.
 
o What advice would you give to aspiring artists?

Don't give up! There is a whole world of supportive artists, groups, youtube videos, tutorials, books, blogs, and websites out there to help you on your path. I don't think I would be where I am at today without them. Never stop learning! Jewelry has this snowball effect. Once you learn one technique, you can apply it to several styles of jewelry and sometimes learn another new technique in the process and it builds on itself.
