π Experiments π
Coming from a chemical technology background, the lab was where I was at my most excited state of mind. Even now, after more than a decade since I finished uni, I get happy when I see a movie scene happening in a science workroom or even if it's forensic βΊοΈ
So, naturally, I love building a new design of earrings because it puts me through several stages of trial and error. It's not unusual for an idea to become totally unusable or more difficult to bring to life, even though it seemed easy peasy in my head. However, I'm thrilled about this part of the process. It's where the juice is. It's where I need to untangle the knots metaphorically speaking. It's where I discover new ways and what could work better than my original thought. I live for this part of the process because after this it becomes an automatic task of finishing, taking pictures, editing, and adding the listing to the shops, which is less exciting to be honest. But it's still part of the whole thing.
I also accepted the fact that sometimes, after a long few days or even weeks of experimenting, the idea I had needs to be left in the air for a while, or to marinate in its own juice π Or maybe put aside for years until it's mature enough to be put together. And that's okay because this is what creative work implies π
If you're still reading, you're a cutie patootie π€ In the pictures you've seen that I first played with paper I coloured with watercolours, then I picked which colours went well together and finally went to have fun making bargello waves. Let's see if I'll be able to make new cute earrings through zig-zaging π€
Ta taaa for now xx
