Trudy Wynans is building a bracelet in the basement studio of her North Vancouver home, with bags of trinkets spread around her slippered feet.

She's removed her glasses for a photographer and says with a laugh. "I can't see a damn thing."

The woven leather and chain bracelet is one of the newest designs that Wynans has introduced to her three-year-old jewelry line, Toodlebunny. The bracelets were a hit in Calgary, where trendy boutique owners scooped them up for sale in their stores this fall and now the designer is scrambling to produce more for this weekend's One of a Kind Show and Sale.

The show is a first for Wynans, whose handcrafted collection is available in 20 boutiques in B.C., Alberta and Ontario. Locally, fans can find her designs at Favourite in Lonsdale Quay.

One of a Kind, on now through Oct. 11 at Vancouver Convention Centre, features the work of more than 200 artists and artisans from throughout British Columbia. A regular at Portobello West, Wynans signed on after attending last year's show. "I was impressed right when I walked through the door," says the designer. "It looked like a fantastic event."

Wynans will be showcasing new designs as well as favourites. "I'm trying to rock out a little more," says the designer, who recently learned through Twitter that actress Kim Basinger, in town to film The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud, picked up three of her necklaces at Yaletown boutique Fine Finds.

At work in her studio, Wynans wears one of Basinger's picks, a design she calls Feather 'Y' Fool. The 30-inch 14-karat gold fill chain has dangling trinkets that include a brass feather, nugget of pyrite (fool's gold) and slivers of reclaimed leather. It sells for $149. Wynans wears it with Saints 'n' Angels earrings, $82, and Our Lady Full of Grace reclaimed leather and rolo chain bracelet, $95.

The bracelet takes its name from one of its charms, a religious medal that Wynans purchased in numbers from a notions supplier in Venezuela, while there for her brother's wedding in 2007. That's typical for Wynans, who keeps an eye out for unique trinkets when she travels, buys them on the spot and squirrels them away for future use. "If I see something I like I usually buy a lot of it. I may not know what I'll do with it. Maybe a year later, I'll find it's perfect."

One of a Kind Show and Sale runs to Oct. 11 at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Admission is $10 for adults, $6.50 for seniors (65 plus) and students (ages 13-17), and free for children 12 and under. Tickets will be available at the door or online at www.oneofakindvancouver.com.
