I have to confess that I am an easily bored crafter. I will happily sew, embroider or scrapbook for a day or two - maybe even a whole week - but then I'll need a bit of a change. In a way, I think that it helps me stay creative. I know a lot of people lose their 'mojo' from time to time, but moving from one craft to another stops me from becoming too comfortable and, thus, bored.
It's some surprise then, that after last week's Wire Wrapped Daisy Chain Bracelet Tutorial that I've spent this week in a jewellery making frenzy - as you'll no doubt be able to tell from one look at My Creative Space. Sometimes, I suppose you just have to go where the spirit takes you!

There are small bits of wire all over (they tend to fly around when I snip them with the wire cutters) and a few minutes ago I had to fish one out from under one of the laptop keys where it had lodged itself and prevented me from pressing down on the 'M'. They get everywhere!Still, there is an upside to all this upheaval. I've been super productive - necklaces, earrings and bracelets abound - and some more tutorials are also on their way, including one for this little lovely later on today.
It's actually a late night/early morning post for me. A bout of insomnia means I am currently keeping similar hours to my hamster. So, I'm off to try and get some sleep. In the meantime, enjoy your creative spaces - I'll be coming to have a nose around them once I've had some shut eye. Night x Edited: The Chain Maille Necklace Tutorial is now up!
Please visit kootoyoo and have a quick look at the My Creative Space guidelines if you fancy joining in.
It's beautiful, I don't think I would have the patience for such a project..Not to mention the 2yr old into the stuff lol....But I love the way it turned out very cool
ReplyDeleteGreat piece, you did well on not much sleep! I hope you get some rest today. Pop a good kids DVD on maybe get forty winks.

There are no kids in this house ladies - unless you count me and The Steve. We're really big kids occasionally! :)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, we are all like that, all starts and stops, and then sometimes we get something finished... Lovely necklace too.

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful necklace! I recognise the doing different things once in a while - it keeps the creativity high! :)
ReplyDeleteWow - load of patience needed here, great necklace! Thanks for the tut.
ReplyDeletePhew, I was exhausted just reading through your tutorial. The end result is beautifully unique.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteSat next to you at last Saturday's crop as you chopped pieces of card and paper and made me think about new ways of doing scrapbooking in a green way.
I love the blog. Keep going!!
