I set aside the entire day today to work on pieces for the show next weekend. This was the last day I had decided to give myself leeway (ok don't quote me on that) to start any new work.
Got up early. Excited to get started and then...nothing. I just felt muddled, uninterested. How incredibly inconvenient!
Oh well. I refused to just sit there in that puddle and instead finished pieces that were already in progress. In the long run this was probably a good idea anyway. Many of these parts have been sitting around for weeks (or in the case of those round, white beads, months) while I considered how they would be used. The last photo shows a bracelet with its umbilical cord still attached. I might re-string it.
oh my gosh, i totally want that bracelet you pictured here in this post.
ReplyDeleteseriously.
let me know if it's available.
I know the feeling...all week long I am busy as can be and when I finally have some time on the weekend - nothing. Too exhausted.
ReplyDeleteDitto what Lorelei said. Those faceted roundels look great with the creamy white ones.

Love your beads, some look like ivory.
ReplyDeletei am now triplicating on the bracelet - that is gorgeous... as much as i do not like to make 'repeats' - do it with this one, really... it's one of those ones that are super special... i am a huge fan of your carved beads to begin with, but the combination is perfect here... love the earrings too - the ones with the small red accents look like ladybugs...
ReplyDeletebest luck - and don't fret too much - what you did today is real progress!
I hate that empty feeling...thank goodness it's rare with me lately. Although...if I don't get rid of this flu thing that the family and I are sharing so equitably, I might end up staring into space a lot more...
ReplyDeleteFinishing stuff has its own rewards though - wonderful you!
Yes again to the bracelet! Loving the washes of paint on the facets -I've got some of that going on too! I swear we're joined a little at the brain.
ReplyDeleteLove the disk earrings. Love them.
You're doing just fantastic work Gen.
I really love your work ! All the things you touch seems to suddenly go up in value... very nice and sensitive work !
