Have you ever wondered if, given the same beads, you would create the SAME project 6 months from now, a year or even 2 years from now?OR, would you process the materials all over again and come up with something completely different?
Hmm, something to ponder! I had an interesting experience over the weekend during the continuing saga of reorganizing the craft room and bead containers.
In one container I had stored all the leftover beads from the project pictured here made several years ago. The first thought I had when I saw them was, ooh, those would look great on memory wire going round and round the wrist with a cool, sparkly aqua colored dangle!
Amazing! I had completely different and fresh ideas! I must admit that a few minutes later when I remembered this original project, I started pining for the original and had thoughts of re-creating it instead of going the new route.
Yep, sometimes it's hard to let go...but growth is good, even when it comes to jewelry design!

Lisa, I find that I change. Actually sometimes I feel like breaking up my old jewelry and start again. Yes, it is interesting to stop and ponder like you did about yourself...:)

Hey there...hope all is good with you!
Saw this great design and had to say I love it...so much detail and texture.
If I feel a piece us taking too long to sell I will often take it apart and either make something different right away or put the pieces away for another day!
:~)
Cheers
Oh yeah, there is something therapeutic about taking apart old jewelry to reconfigure it!
Thanks for the comments!
Hi Heather, hope all is well with you too! :)
