The trinket project was developed for a four-day workshop exploring craft, technology, and community-building. Using a simple drawing program and an engraver, participants design and create trinkets for themselves and others. The designs can be new, or they can be modifications of existing designs. Each modified design keeps a record of the design on which it is based. By tracing these connections, users can trace the genealogy of a given design.The entire family tree can be mapped, highlighting the propagation of design ideas through the community.
