The last couple of weeks have been a bit stressful; a funeral, ill health, a few unsuccessful markets (due to lack of people there) and university issues left me feeling uninspired and fed up. Now things are looking up, I’m inspired again and getting back to work. I think it happens to all creative people every now and then, the ideas don’t flow and nothing seems to work. When that happens I think it’s best to take a step back, get on with something else and then when you go back to it, everything is ok again.
This bracelet is based on the first lesson I ever had at Shiney Rocks. I added my own personal touch with lots of swirls and spirals and a different catch. I love learning new things and then taking them a step further with my own personal touch to make it in my own unique style.
I’m really enjoying random, messy and tangled wire at the moment. I do however find it a lot harder than things with precise parts, set together in a certain way. Creating something to look random and unique is a lot harder than it looks. I had a few attempts at this before I was happy with it. I strung this crazy coiled and spiralled pendant on copper spirally links instead of plain chain as I thought it complimented the pendant more.
