I recently read Lori Greenberg's Watch Me Create post, which really resonated with me.
Lori is showing and writing about her creative process in designing jewelry with these fabulous funky lampwork Venus beads that she makes. (Aren't they fun!)
I love how she tells us how her brain works. But most of all, I guess I agree with her creative process. You see, she likes figuring things out for herself. She says she experiments and sees what comes from that.
Experimenting is one of my favorite pastimes. So often my experiments don't turn out as planned, but that's the joy in it. As Dr. Seuss said, "Oh, the places you'll go!". Limitless possibilities right in front of you.
Please stop by Lori's Watch Me Create post and read where she's going with these beads and how she is getting there. And pop by the other articles. They're being posted at least a few times a week or more- rotating by the authors. You can click on any of the authors' names on the right side and read what each person has written in the past too. (Don't forget my posts too!)
See you tomorrow. We'll chat some more.
Absolutely right on! People often say you can't put lots of detail on smaller beads but since I taught myself, I didn't 'know' that. So now I make some pretty small sculptural beads all because I -tried- it instead of listening to what other people say can or cannot be done. Great post! xox
ReplyDeleteI love to experiment with my seed beads to see what develops. Most times it's a massive mess, but once in a while I hit on something wonderful! I don't pay much attention to what you "can" and "can not" do either.
ReplyDeleteI love that! Experimenting is the only way to find out your own niche! I am self taught lampworker and my designs are a lot different than other's designs. It is comforting. LOVE this post off to check out Lori in action!
