This bracelet was a last minute submission. Of course, it was made several months ago, and I wasn't working with any plan in mind. Just putting beads together and "playing" with the wire, trying to get out of a slump. I was super happy with the outcome of the bracelet! It reminded me of fall, dusk settling in with a big harvest moon peeking through the tree tops.
The bracelet was barely finished when it had to be sent away. So I was happy to see it arrive safely home and getting in back in the fall made me appreciate it even more.
Funny how I feel like some of my favorite work comes from times when there is no plan. What about you? Do you ever just grab beads and go with it? What's the outcome?
It's good to get outside of preconceived once in a while. That's a really nice mix of stone and lampwork with the copper wire.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being in that beautiful magazine! Seems like most of my work has no plan...or a semi plan. I just go with it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Miss Shelby and contratulations! I feel like the days are slipping away ever so quickly and it makes me crazy!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out great. Congrats on getting it published and back. Usually I have something in mind before I start, but sometimes it changes in the middle. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I have always loved your wire work! :)
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel - damn those goblins that steal our time! Gorgeous bracelet.
ReplyDeleteBtw, thank you so fairy much for participating in Treasury Tuesday last week. I hope to see you return again!
A belated CONGRATS to you, Shelby! I did see this beautiful bracelet in Bead Trends - it just jumped off the page. I love the coiled and oxidized wirework. I totally agree - time is just flying by. It always seems to go so much faster this time of year.
