Hi all,

I have several notebooks, but I rarely sketch in them. I work mostly with stringing techniques, but I also make rosary links. Often my inspiration is 80′s music titles (mostly 80′s music so far), or suggested by the beads I use, which ofter come out suggest themselves as I’m working. I used to use one for writing down the materials I used in a particular piece, but these days I’ve gone digital (sales invoice template in MS’s Excel 2003, just in case anyone is interested.)

Thanks Bella, the stone my husband used to make the butterfly is a single piece of banded agate that I believe we found in New Mexico. He used a diamond band saw to the shape.

It’s funny, but I get inspiration from the music.
Hard to explain how I “get there from here”, but when it comes to
working with wire, rhythm is central. I daresay it’s key
to most jewelry no matter what medium you are using.

Music inspires my fiction writing, too… but it’s a different process
mostly involving lyrics or mood. While mood obviously effects the jewelry
outcome, a good deal is about translating tempo and progressions from one mood, key or beat to another.

Probably not very helpful to the newbie, but… says a bit about me, I’m guessing.
