Making beaded earrings, necklaces and bracelets requires inspiration, at least for me. This is why I can never consider making these things as work because when I'm not in the mood for it, then I won't be able to make any. I think I could but I won't be happy about it and the results won't be as nice.
So today, when I felt like doing a few more bracelets, earrings and necklaces to add to my growing collection, I took the chance. I just had my first meal of the day and I was feeling energetic. I immediately took out all my beading materials, looked at the previous designs I saved in my PC and allowed myself to be engulfed by awe and inspiration.
When making beaded jewelry, I don't try to copy other creations. I just look at as many beautiful designs as I can, prepare all my materials on my work station and I just let whatever inspiration flow through my hands as I pick my string, my colorful beads, my pliers, clamps, crimps, and other beading supplies.
Remember yesterday when I made a necklace out of recycled earrings? That necklace didn't have any pair of earrings to go with it so I made one:
