Not sure why I still do it, as it doesn’t work at all for me, but I tend to leave things until the last moment.
A long time ahead I think about the tasks to be done. And in my head I already “know” how to do them, how much time it will costs me and what the end result will be. In an ideal world of course. It rarely works out that way. For me at least.
When it comes down to designing I have written down my ideas or sketched some rough designs as soon as they pop up in my head. In an ideal world of course. Sadly, not my reality. At all.
So, yesterday afternoon I sat in front of my precious beads. Typical. No inspiration. None what so ever. After about 2 hours staring in space I started fiddling around with some new headpins I bought from Jennie Yip.
Then it struck: a light bulb moment.
I guess that’s why these cuties look like tiny light bulbs, grin.
Handmade lampwork glass headpins by Jennie Yip (Icedmoments). Check out her shop. She is based in my home country The Netherlands and she is making delicious lampwork beads.
I combined them with sterling silver beads, sterling silver earring hoops and brass rings with a lovely copper green patina, mirroring the color in the glass head pins.
And I had enough inspiration to make a second pair. These are available in my shop.
Thank you so much for visiting and I hope to see you again in 2 weeks. I love to read your comments, so don't be shy. I wish you a wonderful day with lots of joy, sunshine, happiness and light bulb moments.
