This is awesome, when I have an idea I sketch it out, Otherwise I would sometimes forget. The book is also a good place for wish lists or new techniques I want to try. I can also tape colorful or inspiring photos in it. And what's on that wish list???? A Humblebead or two of course. <br />The verification word here is "Expen" - That's what I call all my pens that get swiped from my desk.

Could there be...Finding Inspiration Everywhere??!?? Could there be a better title for a class? Makes me think...Why wasn't I on that cruise!?<br /><br />I think that you are right. I need to stop and reexamine why I do what I do. I have been called to sketch more. I bought a sketchbook, but haven't been using it much. I need to do that. And maybe start adding color and pattern to it, as an inspiration jump off in the journal. <br /><br />But I have found recently that I need to scale back. The more over the top designs that I seem to gravitate to are not what is of interest. Using the art beads that I have horded these past two years is a priority. Simple. That is what I am trying to do now. I call them my "pretty little things." I have even experimented with bracelets (a strange challenge for me) and was asked to do rings again. <br /><br />But the biggest problem is the time. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing this great inspiration. Enjoy the day! <br />ErinTesoriTrovatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771359288546654791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-31948575350457929352010-02-07T10:08:57.178-05:002010-02-07T10:08:57.178-05:00Speaking of color in design, there is a challenge ...Speaking of color in design, there is a challenge going on right now on the beads-of-clay.blogspot.com web site.
