Creative CRAZY

I've been so busy "doing LIFE" lately

that I haven't had much time to "make" anything.

All I can say is ... I was having major anxiety.

MY brain is creating all the time, or at the very least

thinking of something to create and it needed OUT !!

So.. today I made a necklace..

I can hardly wait until tomorrow to wear it.

If it had a name it would be STACI. haha

I'd seen one while I was BLOg hopping one day,

and have kept the idea stored in the back of my head.

Her version was so darling I wanted to

reach right through this screen and grab it.

You can visit her necklace at http://joyshope.com/

I started off with no real idea what it was going to look like.

I just started making flowers and let the rest fall into place.

Then I remembered a whole jar full of broken jewelry

I bought at various garage sales and thought I might

use a piece or two of it in the mix.

I can explain how to make all the different types of flowers

if anyone is interested just drop me a note and I will

be happy to explain.

They are all SUPER simple to make.

I used about 4 or 5 different types.ce

She attached hers to felt, and if I would have had some

I can tell you it would have been much easier.

Anyway.. after 3 burns to my poor fingers

from that darn glue gun...

I got the flowers attached,

and was ready to sew it onto the chain.

That too would have been much easier with FELT,

but I wanted it NOW... so I just used what I had.

ITThis necklace is not for everyone... I know,

BUT man it is for me...

It's the funnest thing I've seen in a while.

Thank you Joy's Hope for the fabulous inspiration !

That's the best part about BLOg hopping...

You never run out of places full of GREAT inspiration.
