I am still working away on that necklace that I mentioned last week! For some strange reason, I seem to be having a hard time being satisfied with the design, it just is not coming together the way I am envisioning it. I am not sure what it is, if it is my state of mind these days ( house bound and hating the weather) or heaven forbid.... some type of artists' block??? I usually have a ton of ideas floating around my head, and I have not encountered being this frustrated over a piece before. Perhaps I am challenging myself too much! Maybe I need to focus more, or relax more! Have any of you felt this way over a design or piece of art work? Perhaps I will take a breather and give it some more thought and hopefully it will get done!
Meanwhile I want to thank KS Jewelry designs for nominating me for the Lemonade Award! Kristin, is a jewelry designer from England, who does some fabulous silver wire jewelry, using lampwork and gemstones. Her flower earrings are adorable, and I personally love her spiral designs! She is very talented designer, please visit her blog to see her work. I received the Lemonade Award previously a few months ago, so this time I am just going to ask you to visit Kristins' great blog instead!

Your necklace dilemma is sure to work itself out. Sometimes it just takes stepping away from it for awhile to be able to go back with a fresh view.
Oh it happens! I'm with MaryLou. You can't FORCE a creation, it has to come to you...so step away and come back a day or two later. Perhaps you'll be in a different frame of mind and the muse will flow freely.
Happy creating!
it happens! don't force it. pick up a fashion magazine and then go back to it. That works for me.
By the way, my summer collection last year, Dance and be free, all pieces I gave them a song name!
I love that. My favorite song is Imagine by John Lennon. I didn't use that name.
hey Susan..I missed your post where you mentioned that you're making a necklace with your beads.
If it helps at all..and it actually may be an explanation..I struggled with those beads for you, as I do with anything remotely 'custom'. I'm afraid unless the person has seen the bead they're buying they won't like them.
Now I feel like I passed something along ~maybe you should do an energy clearing on them or something..haha.
Thanks Maryloe, beader jo and raquel for those encouraging words...maybe I am OK!
Deb...that is soooo weird!!! The beads are lovely, I am sure it is just me. Hopefully we haven't entered the twilight zone!
I've hit that sometimes with a project. I tend to put the piece aside for a bit, work on something completely different, and then come back to it. Sometimes it takes a few try's, but usually it eventually works!
Thanks for stopping by my blog - and I'm glad I could introduce you to craftopolis!
I know that feeling well myself, Susan. I usually do something completely different as well and while you are working on another piece something comes from that to inspire the one you have put aside!!
I am sure it will work for you, JUST CHILL!!!!!!!! :0)) Oh that wasnt suppose to be a pun!!!
