Gold dino keyrings?! Yes, really. They may not seem like my usual style, but I was inspired, lol.
I always have folks ask if I have anything for the boys at my weekly farmer's market. Other than a cross keyring or an occasional unisex necklace, I don't carry much for the males of our species. I always feel bad saying no. So, I went on the hunt for ideas and inspiration.
Most males don't wear a lot of jewelry, but I wanted a product that would make sense with my artisan jewelry line. I have hair acessories for the females. But what do boys like?
Well, I went down a possible list in my head: trucks, guns, dogs, army men, .... Then one day, I was shopping and saw these cute, little glow in the dark DINOSAURS.
Bing! Bing! Bing! We have a winner.
So, I grabbed a pack & headed to hardware for screw-in eyelets. I impaled the dino with an eyelet and attached the keyring findings.
Wah Lah! I had created a keyring for my male customers.
I loved the glow in the dark feature of my dinosaur keyring, but it just felt too commercial. So, back to the studio I went to find a way to render this creation more creative.
I thought about adding charms. But no, I didn't like that. Then I thought, "Paint it!" I chose gold paint to tie it into the AVM jewelry line.
BAM! My blinged out dino keyring was completed and ready for my next market.
I hope he is a big hit and I hope you have been inspired to create your own masterpiece!
Be safe & have a blessed day.
