Skull bracelet

While writing my to do list for the crochet I'm gonna work on today, I stumbled on the idea to make some crochet skull earrings.
I thought is I'd used a pattern I've already written (the skull pattern in the bobble bunch) but use embroidery floss and a tiny crochet hook to change the gauge and make them smaller.

 It was surprisingly easy to crochet with the smaller hook and fine thread and if anything theonly problem I had was the skull I made was too big for earrings.

 Not to worry I decided to turn it into a bracelet.
I crocheted a small flower flower to go with it (one of the two free flower patterns coming up soon) and found some nice red, black and clear hearts and gems beads from my bead box. Then after a bit of fiddling around this is what I got.

I have made it asymmetric as I though three crochet charms would be too busy and I'm really happy with the way its turned out. Its not too heavy and looks really cute on.

I have a whole list of patterns to work on today but I'm so temped to kinda forget about them till Monday and made a zombie and brain bracelet next :)

What do you guys think? would you wear amigurumi jewellery?

    I think this is a great idea. Really unusual and fun at the same time. Ali x

    Wow! that's amazing! It's surprisingly easy to work with a smaller hook and finer thread, I'm really enjoying it at the moment!

    I would absolutely wear this! I think it's probably better as a bracelet than it would have been as earrings too as I love the flower and beads with it- it's very Day of the Dead.

    These would be great to wear, I imagine they would be light in weight although they look quite chunky. I love it.
