The count down until Bead & Button is both scary and exciting! I thought to keep my sanity, to keep blogging and to not disappear into a pile of beads, I would do a series of 23 days of inspiration. I will share with you each day something that has inspired my creative journey in beads and jewelry. I hope you enjoy it.
I love this photograph from Alicia Bock titled BlueGrey Monday. How perfect, right? When I was a child I used to love finding willows in the fields near the woods. How magical they seemed, like little gifts left from fairies.
I don't know why I felt they needed to entwine an egg, but they did. That's the wonderful thing about art, sometimes there is no rhyme or reason, it's just following what the heart wants.
Very creative blog topic. Someday I will attend Bead and Button, good luck with your new adventure. I love your beads so I have no doubt you will do well.
ReplyDeletei love this 23 days of inspiration - and i hope it does help you a bit... it must be an exhilarating show to prepare for - nerve wracking and energizing at the same time... but how wonderful for people to be able to meet you in person... as a child i was drawn to pussy willows too - i loved their softness and how they differed so from flowers... your egg beads are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I will have to come peak everyday :) Love the little eggs, they are really, really wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI admire that you will actually post for 23 straight days. I love this inspiration and the eggs are so lovely! Quit it! Or I will be forced to order some more. LOL.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the day!

Your eggs are absolutely beautiful!..but for some reason I feel like they need to be filled with chocolate with a candy coating!! :D
ReplyDeleteHeather, your beads are gorgeous...what a wonderful representation of the willows..and I just love the colors!
ReplyDeleteYour eggs are something special for sure, how do you do it?!?!
ReplyDeleteI love willow tufts too, I love to feel their softness against my cheeks.
I see Spring all over those, Heather, they're lovely and very evocative, two icons joined with the willow and the bird's egg blue.
