People often ask me where I get the ideas for my jewelry. Inspiration for me often comes in waiting rooms from other directions. For example, this week I was waiting for my daughter at the Dr.'s office and after checking my calendar and adding to my TODO list I started playing with some sketches for pendants with stones sparked by the pattern on a glass topped table.
I then had a thought for some personalized silver tags as something personal to make for my family, which led me to jot down ideas for a sampler quilt. One of the "blocks" I created in my mind turned into a sketch for a piece of jewelry entitled Never Ending Love which I couldn't wait to get home to make.
My friends often comment that my mind never stops. And I guess that is true. I get many ideas while waiting in line or in traffic or in waiting rooms. The trick is in remembering them until I can get them down in a notebook or sketch pad.
