I have not been posting for at least a month. Just a lot of stuff going on.
Now it is time to start again. Not the least of the motivation is spring is almost here. My daffodils (thousands of them) are up a few inches. One lonely bulb that is close to the southern side of the house is about 6 inches already. No sign of a bud but that is coming. Have you heard the birds in the morning? The birds don’t lie. Spring is coming and I am feeling creative again.
In February there was a web site called ‘Thing a Day’. The challenge was to make and post something every day. I challenged myself but didn’t post because I knew there were some days I was going to miss. For March I am challenging myself again and I will post here.
I did create on the first 3 days of March. Nothing extremely exciting but the idea is just to make something, genius will follow!
March 1st my creation was of the edible sort – Kale and Apple Salad – the candied pecans in this recipe are absolutely delicious and don’t have to be in a salad to be enjoyed. The dressing is also good – I keep good dressing recipes I find and use them for everyday salads too. Have almost gotten away from bottled dressing!
On March 2nd I made a bookmark from some polymer beads and ribbon as well as a couple of polymer clay pieces. I am not sure what I am going to do with the pieces yet. Here is a pic.
I have already added a red tinted black background to the piece on the right and ‘antiqued’ it with red paint. Some ‘jade’, ‘cinnibar’ and black beads to make a necklace?
The piece on the left was made with a texture plate that I made last week from a Salvation Army find. I think it may become a focal bead in another necklace, or maybe a bracelet.
March 3rd I created the first (of many to come) drafts of a database schema for a collaborative project I am working on. And … I added another layer to one of the polymer pieces I created on 3/2.
Waiting for today’s inspiration.
