Tidying Up or This?

In my world THIS will win every time!

I started out with very good intentions of tidying up my making table today. It is in a mess. And no I have no intention of taking a photo to show you my mess! It was going very well... Found a few orphan beads and pearls, a cab I thought I had lost, bits of wire...

Actually it was LOTS of bits of wire. I cut it too short, or bend it the wrong way, or it gets kinks I don't need so I put it aside on my board for doing something at a later date.

So I made these earrings.



Tidying up is soooo over-rated!

  2. Ha Ha Ha Mischelle, you are right of course!
    I occasionally have these "senior moments". Luckily they are rare and don't last very long!
    Thanks! I am at a show tomorrow and really looking forward to it.
    Enjoy your week-end :-)

  3. How can you tidy up when you are surrounded by your jewellery making stuff.
    These earrings are lovely, and I think sometimes the best designs are made when tiding up as looking at things in a different way sparks the imagination.
    I know that some of my best jewellery designs are made when rummaging through my bead boxes.
    If this is the jewellery you are making while tiding up I say keep on tidying.

    1. :-) Thanks!
      That's why I think tidying up is over-rated. Let there be beads, beads and more beads and lots of wire. Something good always comes out of the chaos that is my jewellery board.

Diary Date: 14 June 2015 - Meet Teresa Hodges at Stamford Arts Centre

Teresa Hodges: Lincolnshire based artist inspired by landscape & nature. "I've always most of all enjoyed painting landscapes, and especially trees;  I love the changing patterns made against the sky by the branches and leaves, and am always moved by the sight of an ancient dead tree in a green and vibrant setting. I also enjoy painting the small rather whimsical pictures that very often include one of my dogs, either past or present." Read More via Teresa Hodges « ESC Artists .

Cabochons Made, no pictures yet :(

OK so I have made some cabochons now. Not 100% satisfied with them, but not too bad for a first attempt. I don't have pictures to show yet. I took some but the light wasn't too good and the focus was bad so they look like little coloured blobs. I am going to ask the expert - Dave - to take the photos for me and if he can do it today I will post them later this evening.
