I am so excited about my glass and wire work. I am learning and seeing an improvement in my work. It is so exciting to see the finished product. There are times that I have to toss something or take it apart and start all over, but it is relaxing and makes me feel like there is purpose to each day besides sitting around and doing nothing. I don't want my mind to stagnate. I am learning and exercising my brain. There are days that I can't push myself enough, I research on the internet and read every publication that I can get my hands on to find new ways to do things. I am posting a picture of a necklace I just finished made of copper wire. I was so frustrated at first; my leaves looked like gingerbread boys!! But after much trial and error I finally got them looking like they were supposed to. I found this design in a book by a talented designer and made a few changes to the final design. I can only hope to be as talented as some of these designers are someday. I am having fun and that is what is important. I made an entire set, but these are the earrings. Never let your thoughts deceive you into thinking "You can't do anything"
YOU can do anything you put your mind to. After all, the bible tells us we can do anything through Christ that strengthens us. Nothing is impossible. Let your heart and mind sour and enjoy yourself!
