Sometimes I feel like I have A.D.D. because I have so many projects going on at once. But when the creative spirit speaks, most of us need to answer it. The most cathartic thing I do in my studio is sort beads and clean up finished projects. Then I feel pure and ready to begin again. What I have found recently that having deadlines for clients or shows helps me to keep creating. If I have too much time to think and ponder then I get stuck. That's when I go blog hopping or taking a class.

Other times I will be looking thru my beads and discover some that look like they will play together nicely but I really don't know how they will. They will get set together on my cupboard and I will add more to it as time goes on along with little notes for ideas. Once everything gels and when I am totally stumped for ideas, I will put them together. I guess that is kinda a work flow.Shai Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625514249141386180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-34240757222555900242011-07-12T08:34:02.937-04:002011-07-12T08:34:02.937-04:00I have lots of in-progress projects going on...may...I have lots of in-progress projects going on...maybe one day I'll actually finish one of them :)Clamworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15998660733727341393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-89551557690905733992011-07-11T22:40:25.855-04:002011-07-11T22:40:25.855-04:00first, I really like the pegboard.

This is mainly because I live with cats. I don't trust them (they are a mischievous bunch), so I put everything away when I leave the bead room! But, I have lots of ideas going at one time.

I leave it out and stare at it until I finish it or my husband complains it's in the way.

I love to hear from all of you!<br /><br />Sounds like most of us are multi-taskers or we all have bead ADD! One thing is for sure, there is never enough time to finish what we want to finish and start what we want to start! <br /><br />I have spend Studio Sunday trying to finish up the stamped pendant and have 8 scraps for every 1 I get right! Practice practice practice but my comment to you today is a way to relieve the frustration! <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to hearing from more readers!<br /><br />Beadfully yours ;-)<br />CindyCindy Gimbronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625146240609776265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-14803288909996452522011-07-10T14:52:54.620-04:002011-07-10T14:52:54.620-04:00Right now I pretty much have to work on one projec...Right now I pretty much have to work on one project at a time because of limited space.

I have put off starting any other projects until these were completed. I purchased a new piece of furniture during this time(Hobby Lobby). It is a tower with thirteen drawers and a door at the bottom. Each time I get an idea, I put the pieces for the project into a drawer. I am anxious to see how my new idea worked.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451136833086192752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-23671980561630014692011-07-10T07:32:52.135-04:002011-07-10T07:32:52.135-04:00I love the pegboard and think I'd be able to k...I love the pegboard and think I'd be able to keep my table cleaner if I had that. I usually work on a couple of projects at a time. I can't seem to put each project into it's own little container to await finishing, so things get messy. I have a dedicated work room fortunately, but really need to get better organized with different sections that are easy to locate each category of bead or finding.substitutionqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01614307988170466785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-16924725263990382812011-07-09T22:55:12.874-04:002011-07-09T22:55:12.874-04:00I like that word, "workflow"!

I prefer to do one project at a time, but having another project in a separate work area is good too. I putz with that one before getting to the priority project.

But two or three, so that I can work on one until my brain's frizzing, then change over to another and so on.

About half of them are pieces that need stones set in them but I can't do that until they've been hallmarked as stamping the hallmark on the back could damage the stones otherwise. Hallmarking is a legal requirement over here in the UK if an item has over 7.78g of silver of 1g of gold. I send a whole bunch off to be hallmarked together.<br />I tend to work on several projects at the same time, so that while a couple of pieces are in the pickle cleaning up after soldering I've got a couple of others to file or polish. My desk looks rather chaotic at times, but I know where everything is, honest!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054958394707123993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-85528086130389428732011-07-09T16:10:19.533-04:002011-07-09T16:10:19.533-04:00While I have on occasion sat down and completed a ...While I have on occasion sat down and completed a project start to finish, it's much more likely that I have a few in stages--one on a bead board, one on the table, and maybe parts of future projects (like stamped or resin pendants) scattered wherever I made them.

I go between clay, jewelry and online projects throughout the day. I always try to make a plan ahead of time to do things so that I can get the most accomplished such as load a kiln first thing & maybe a load of laundry so that as I am working on other things, I can take a break and turn up the kiln, switch a load, refill my coffee mug, check email… It's a circus really.
