One Priceless Treasure

  This was by far one of the hardest things which I have made. However, there were mistakes from the start. Mistakes in the design which I really didn't see at the start. Ya, I could keep the failures a secrete. However, that is not apart of or the purpose of my Why.  The why I do what I do. The why creating and having a hobby is important. I am a firm believe in the human factor. I am a firm  believe there is more value is enjoying creating, enjoying trying and exploring.  Most importantly a successful project comes in two ways. The first of course "something beautiful" the second is "learning to do more and be better." You cant know unless you try.  

Its all apart of the process. Ya, some might say your wasting your time or others will say "why even..."Seeing the first photo you might hear "just stop there." But why?  Its easy.... maybe It looks good.. well of course  Why do more it looks OK. Which is true but... Why stop when your invisioning something different.  Why stop when you see potential of making it better.  Why stop when there is more to learn and try. I of course will acknowledge this is project specific and it is possible to over do. You cant however learn whats "To much" untill you get there. One way to avoid the "to much" is taking projects a little at a time. I have learned when my you has to many potential options. The right choice is to take a break. The answer will come with a second look and patients.  True, I am probably crazy and destroyed my idea. Which some would classify that i wasted alot of time, money, effort etc. But I took a leap and tried. The leap t...

 Its interesting creating different necklace pendants. The ideas which come and figuring out how to make the projects successful. The hard thing is "sometimes success does come." The range of emotions are up and down and usually the easy answer takes a hold. The easy answer of "just giving up." Don't be fooled I have had my fair share of experiences. The experiences which I thought all was lost, both in life and with creating things.   I have learn the most important thing. Which is to "CHERISH THE MOMENT, AND TREASURE THE JORUNEY." The moments of learning, trying, and exploring different and random ideas, the courage and bravery to try something. Making sure you break the steps down into the process you understand and feel like you can achieve. Success doesn't come in a split second and you will not be perfect ever time and with every thing. The cherish moment is believe in yourself to create and know the right time, moment, and your given it your...

Yes, more fun with random stuffed animals I own. Yes, I may be collecting a few more to keeping the fun going. I also have the option to dress them up. Whats more cute then a seeing a monkey wear a necklace  Because alot of what I do is random and fun. The simple act of random fun has great power and potential. Because it can have inturn cause a smile and make a person's day.  The YouTube video on the entire project This project in reality was save with a little patients to clear my head. It was also save with a simple quarter turn and the light bulb came on. 

Just having fun posting another creation. And of course having my stuffed animals be models.   

 This necklace pendant was interesting to make. When I first started, I really only had a "kind of" idea I wanted for the boarder. The rest was "on the fly" sort of thing. I wanted it to look like multiple pieces which were "pieced together." The pictures are snapshots I took from the video. I have an idea for creating an "execution idea" Which I example and teach a process. However, in my mind that sounds kind of boring. The idea is still not dead. However, it is taking more brainstorming because I want to make it interesting and of course "to the point." Well enjoy these pictures and the video is at the end of page.  This photo is showing laying out the dove tale lines. So that I know what area needs to be removed. I of course made sure to color what part I wanted to removed. Because with more line can equal "more confusion."  On the 2 side, I for whatever reason. A weave look is pretty cool. The math is of course all free h...
