If I find something that I like and others seem to like then I'll always want to see what it's like in another colour or with a different component.Mokkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03177017454987136996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-5027769491360809242015-11-16T03:20:58.343-05:002015-11-16T03:20:58.343-05:00I really want to recreate some of my successful de...I really want to recreate some of my successful designs but sometimes it just doesn't work, even though I follow the pattern with different beads. I think it's worth it, though. The Winter Wonderland necklace is gorgeous!

Since I am still learning, I try different ways of putting a design together to make it my original design versus something learned in a tutorial. Sometimes the addition of an art bead or 2 makes all the difference.lamplight craftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17757319153037678617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-2422079396262632592015-11-14T22:53:55.416-05:002015-11-14T22:53:55.416-05:00I love the idea of working from a 'master'...I love the idea of working from a 'master' or a 'blueprint'. After all the time and effort you invest in getting each element just *exactly* right, you should totally run with it, I agree! And each iteration has a slightly different feel with a different focal here or a different color there - it's a brilliant way to work I think.<br /><br />Coming up with something entirely new can be exhilarating and it keeps us interested, lots of stretching and bending and challenges - but sometimes you need to rest too. Letting the mind wander while the hands stay on task always leads to something good, I think. I get my best ideas when I've making multiples of something!<br /><br />Love these gorgeously gorgeously gorgeous Winter Wonderland necklaces. Hope you had a great show day! xoxo -- julieJulie Wong Sontaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291897689458119167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-50064627300932483962015-11-14T22:11:59.734-05:002015-11-14T22:11:59.734-05:00I have to admit I'm a OOAK sort of worker at t...I have to admit I'm a OOAK sort of worker at the art table. But the idea of mass production does interest me. I think, for me, OOAK is easier in the long run and very personal. But the idea of lots of people have one idea from you is also enticing.<br /><br />Good luck all.<br /><br />ElizabethElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08439309308916922626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-26289724097931934682015-11-14T10:03:43.012-05:002015-11-14T10:03:43.012-05:00Loveley designs, Rebecca...

There are certainly things that are one of a kind, never to be recreated. But even with those, I think some of the same ideas, techniques, etc. appear. Then there are go-to designs that I recreate with different variations on a theme. It's good to have both things I think to keep our brains active and our creative hearts full.Sarajo Wentlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742024924082041494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-45352563423853100792015-11-14T09:51:21.281-05:002015-11-14T09:51:21.281-05:00I am always rethinking, sometimes reworking, and y...I am always rethinking, sometimes reworking, and yes trying variations pushes the artistic juices!
