A quarter turn

Image
I started this design and as the work was progressing. I determined it wasnt looking right. I cant tell you how long I just sat and stared at it trying to figure out the why. Of course, I hit the creative brick wall. I did some brainstorm drawing in my book, but could not draw exactly what I was envisioning. Even if I tried to explain it, seems impossible.  The crossroads of 2 questions. Do I scrap it or do I take a break? The easy answer is to scrap it and move on. However, you lose the possible potential. There is nothing wrong with waiting and taking a second look. And sometimes, the project plan is a radical shift.  I dont want to waste material, so its always a good idea if there is still life. Take a break and come back. I moved to another project and then came back. I looked and considered my options. I still was struggling untill... I made the quarter turn and everything changed. The pieces started to fall together and it came to life.

More fun with slate engraving. The designs were completely random and in the moment. Yes, camera work needs help.

Oops just happen

Image
The joys of wood carving and being a creater. I was working to get this necklace pendant mounted on a chain. Well I guess the wood had different ideas. But all is not lost. With a little patients, some reworking potential is still possible. Just because the was pieces that broke off, doesnt make the entire project a waste. If you breath and take a moment to look at it with a different perspective, the light of potential possibilities are endless.  Yes, of course its easier said then done. From the heat of the moment, and other factors. However, I do believe with each project the hiccups, Monkey wrenchs, and curve balls. The ultimate gift is the creative training in the works for future projects. And, believing in yourself to cherish the craft and not the oops that happened.

My YouTube Adventure update

Image
My adventure of YouTube and been interesting to say the least. I have had the normal learning curves and many ups and down.  My mission and purpose of my channel is to make enjoyable content. Which people can use to distract themselves for a time. The random distract to destress and relax. Hopefully there is hidden motivation as you enjoy.  I have seen my creativity envolve overtime. Considering I have incorporated my stuffed animal collection into the video/photo shoot. Why, you might ask? The answer is simple. Its fun, I want to, and for the right person seeing my stuff. A chicken modeling a necklace can make a person laugh and possibly make there day. Overall, the support is appreciated. I am always up for a challenge. Youtube channel

Yes, my dad and I compare tools

Image
The farm girl came out the other day. I noticed my camera wasnt sitting right. So the of course the investing took over. Cant blame me for being a daddy's girl. The current task of course stopped because I was intrigued. I find the problem and used my available resources to find a fix.  Yes, multiple attempts to try a function fix due to a small space. I am hopeful.  I am proud to declare that I AM A DADDYS GIRL. According to my mom we have to much fun in the garage. And yes, my dad and I compete in tool collection.
