Is there such a thing as too much inspiration?
For the last couple of days I've been dabbling with my old love, crafting jewelry.
Trying not to get too involved and falling head over heels in love again, I began to look at a few of my "projects in waiting". Those are the things that I made but didn't quite like and so took apart to refashion at a later date. Picking up one project I found myself wrinkling my nose at the old ideas that had once filled my head; "What was I thinking? How drab!" Suddenly I was enveloped with inspiration...after inspiration...after inspiration and my small work tray soon looked like "Bead Soup".

Obviously what I had dreaded happened, I was sick in love again and way in over my head. Perhaps when I get one or two of this forgotten projects done I will post them for your opinions and comments.

I really love what you have done with the black glass and copper, maybe something black or deep green right above the wrapped wire and attach to earwires, voila earrings! Your bead soup looks like my dining room table pretty much all the time. The creativity comes out of the mess, right?

Erin - Kynera's Jewels You're very close to what I did. :) I'll have to post the photos soon, though I'd love to get a picture of someone wearing them because they look great on and, unfortunately, not so much in a photo.
ReplyDeleteDear friend T: Thanks for stopping by, I always love your comments. Hope you have a wonderful day too.
Ooooooooo I do that too! I have bracelets I need to restring because I made them to fit my thighs and a necklace that I bought beads for and another necklace I want the beads from for another project! LOL You are not alone in this!
ReplyDeleteI like what you are doing and can't wait to see the finished product!
