do you ever get in a craft rut? You muse seems to go on vacation and everything you make looks the same? well then, you need to have a fling! Here I put aside my stamps and paper and played with wire and beads:
A quick trip to my local bead shop was inspiring, I bought a $8 plastic ring mandrel, a few new beads and a pack of charms. I had always wanted to try making wire wrapped rings but did not know how so I decided to try and I came up with these. Sure the workmanship is shoddy and unskilled but I had fun and my creative spirit felt renewed afterward. I should have a fling more often!
So how about this weekend you break out of your crafty comfort zone, try polymer clay, or crochet or pick up a paintbrush, don’t worry about the results, enjoy the process (that is why kids have so much fun with art, they are process, not product, oriented!) and create!
Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
You are very talented, the jewelry is beautiful!

Ooo, beautiful! I totally understand how sometimes you do one thing a lot and then you have to jump to something else…I’m like that 3 or 4 times a day 🙂

I love these. Makes me want to drag out my beading stuff again. I am so addicted to my Cricut that I have actually LOST WEIGHT because I forget to eat! Oh, my!

I don’t think your jewelry looks shoddy and unskilled. I think it looks funky and casual! You have a great sense of color and style. Perfection comes later after lots of practice. I think you have a lot of potential! And… I would have to agree with your support of trying polymer clay. It is a whole lot of fun you know!
