A work in Progress~~~
I'm in a bit of a creative slump. Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's the fact that I was not able to participate in many craft shows last season. Maybe it's the general feeling of malaise many of us have felt since November 9th.
I have been working on ideas for these beads, sent by Lisa Lodge as part of one of her challenges, the Color Blog Hop.
Lisa's challenges work like this: You respond to her by purchasing one of a number of packages of beads. I chose the "Red and White" selection.
What I received, of course, was much more than that! The warm champagne colored beads and brass findings are perfect with the red and white theme.
So here is what I have so far. I got slowed down by several things happening in my life, so nothing is actually complete....please forgive me!
So the top picture is obviously a necklace in progress, and the bottom picture is um, some mismatched dangles that I didn't finish because my pliers hand is still in recuperation mode (carpal tunnel release surgery, all good.) I actually thought they matched until I looked at the pictures. Oh well, they would have had to be re-done anyway. And that bit of wire with beads on it.... dunno, got nothing. Just playing with beads!
Let's see what the others have done!

I think that is so awesome that despite a "slump" and other difficulties you still made the effort to participate. Getting started is often the hardest step of the process and you have made a beautiful start. Keep going!!!💕
ReplyDeleteGood job Beti. I am proud of you for working on jewelry even though you were in a slump. I like the designs that you have started. They are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI only did earrings this time due to my work schedule (I started a necklace). At least you did something and posted! I do like what you have started, looking forward to seeing them finished. Hope your hand feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteImpressed that you finished anything while recovering from hand surgery.
ReplyDeleteGreat start. I love the warm colors! I have had hand surgery, so I know what it is like..sending prayers your way for continued healing and to get back into the swinging bead scene..
ReplyDeleteI think you have a great start, Beti! It is hard to get out of a slump, and you are well on your way with these pretty designs. Keep on going! Thanks for being in the hop.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful selection of beads you got! I also love that heart pendant. I hope you are healed and back in the groove soon!
