Happy 2012 to everyone! May this year be full of wonderful adventures jammed packed with creativity and kindness!
Last year flew by quick. After my last show of the year I took a mini-break to spend time with friends and family and to re-charge my creativity. I've been brainstorming new ideas, color palettes, and designs I plan on launching this year. I really want to challenge myself more this year and take my designs to a new level.
I've gotten a jump start on one particular challenge that is being started on "Beading Daily," a website/forum/blog dedicated to beaders. Trust me, there are a lot of us out there! One of there challenges is called "A Pair of Earrings a Day." This particular challenge calls for making a pair of earrings a day with whatever beads you have lying around. The idea is to find time to create something. If you can't create a "pair a day" they suggest a pair a week or if you don't want to make earrings swap them out for a necklace or bracelet a week. Anything that keeps your creativity flowing...stress-free!
I've decided to take the "Earrings a Day" challenge for one whole month, then move on to something new the following month. I will post my progress here on the blog with photos. I'm thinking of just posting the earrings I make during this month exclusive to my ETSY store but I haven't decided yet.
Here are my pair of earrings to January 1st... let me know what you think.
