Honing My Jewelry Making Skills

If I do not practice my jewelry making skills every couple of weeks, my abilities dwindle. One definately gets better at it with practice as is true with most bents. As you can easily tell, I need to practice my photography skills. (skills is a term I use loosely). My earrings really do look better than this picture conveys.

More Inspirations

Essentially, the decision is whether or not to go with more green than blue or blue than green as those are my two favorite colors. Both of these inspiration pieces incorporate the colors I like and the themes I like.

Craft Room Decisions

July is going to be the month for remodeling my craft room. I am very excited about it! I have finally gotten all of the other things out of the way that I needed to do this summer before school begins again. Now, I can work on FUN STUFF! I have already been cleaning out the craft room so I can start with a clean slate including the closet of the craft room. Here is the puzzlement. For the past few weeks, I have been contemplating the color scheme of the craft room. I have been focusing on finding an 'inspiration piece' and then it occurred to me to make my own 'inspiration piece'. I have been making these little 8 X 8 art pieces in hopes it would offer inspiration as to what color scheme I wish to commit to but so far, I am not that committed to anything. Everything seems good when I am trying it. I know as I get closer to painting day the inspiration will strike! This is one of my little attempts at inspiration using topics that are meaningful to me. I will post more of these inspirations later. I do know one thing for certain. Denim will be the fabric of the craft room. Funny how I do not have any problem committing to fabrics.
