Day 254. Seriously, feeling less than inspired at the moment and trying to come up with some ideas that will help me with my “earring block”. I wrote down a bunch of suggestions today, and I am going to try one each day and see what happens. Today I have taken my “old” idea of square hoops, made them smaller, and added a drop to them that can be removed. Hmmm, that’s changing two things, but I like the end result. I love square hoops and glad to try something new with them.
Day 253. Trying new things. I have been feeling slightly blah about my daily challenge recently. I wouldn’t say I was bored, but I am probably a bit uninspired. I had some ideas leftover from SALA that I haven’t tried because….learning curve! It can be hard to try new things when there is so much to learn. It’s like, you can read about it, watch videos, but the actual doing it for yourself is hard work! So today I told myself I would take one small step towards my new idea. I didn’t have to get it “right” but I had to try something. So I found the copper disks that I purchased about 4 years ago, and I made a start. This is definitely not where it ends, but it was nice to make a start. I will take another small step tomorrow, and the next day, and we shall see where it goes.
Day 252. I made these earrings this morning and thought I would get a chance to post them online at some stage, but apparently my day had other plans and I am only just uploading this! I really like the shadows in this photo ☀️
Day 251. There comes a point in the day when you actually just have to either make a pair of earrings or miss a day! And after making 250 pairs of earrings I honestly did not feel like letting it slide today! Having said that, I really dislike what I have made, and I feel OK about that. I never had to love all of the earrings that I made, the challenge was to make a pair of earrings every day. Anyway, this was an old idea, but one I have never tried because…it just seemed a bit tricky. Today I tried, it was indeed tricky!
Day 250. All the beautiful gin bottle colours in one pair of earrings. Featuring beads made from Tanqueray, Hendricks, Bombay Sapphire and Hendricks Limited Release. I wonder if there will be any new gin bottle colours coming out this year? I will be keeping an eye on the bottle shops for sure!
Day 249. Cute. Classic.
Day 248. Champagne and pearls. Yes I think tonight I will be having a glass of bubbles with my pizza! Friday night traditions run deep in this house 😛 What are you getting up to?
Day 247. Mismatched flower earrings in the prettiest spring colours. It’s definitely a windy spring day here today!
Day 246. Can’t stop making cluster earrings. This rainbow pair is just a little bit different from what I have been doing.
Day 245. Hello spring and all of the lovely flowers and colours of the season. I can’t say I am up to date with fashion these days, but these colours seemed to sum up today for me.
