Creative Slump
I have not made jewelry in a long time. Every time I look at my work bench I become nauseous. I thought it was a deep seated psychological issue. Maybe I was working too hard on the bead business. I was at a loss.
Acupuncture, movement workshops, self help books, and more trying to figure out the creativity crash.
I decided I would never make jewelry again. I thought reverse psychology might work.
Everyday, hundreds of times a day I came up with a new design ......... but would not do it.
I went to a jewelry meet up the other day and someone made a crack about my looking at my wire from the end of my extended arm and about my 40 year old eyes needing glasses. Someone else remarked how I use those cheater reading glasses and I piped up with the fact that they make me so nauseous after I make something I am motion sick for the rest of the night.
Doh
So my body has been reacting in advance to the torture I was about to put it through.
I guess I either need minions to make my designs or .......... I have to go get real glasses eh?
Lets hope jewelry starts to spike out of me once I have them on. I will post a picture. Oy.

Buffalo Boots by Ky
The Kyote made me up a pair of hand sew buffalo hide boots. He duct tapes a sock on my foot and custom makes the pattern. He then added Ithaca Peak turquoise cabbed and set by Bill as buttons.
I am spoiled.

Blue turquoise nuggets with peach hesihi shell and a sterling heart that has a bump in it. I bought it because it reminded me of .......... me.February 5, 2009
