Rambles...

What to make next? I've figured out something at any rate. My strength is not in design or color...it's in engineering. Sounds kind of weird, but you can make it work.
Probably also why I haven't been sketching ideas for designs. (Which I should be doing.) I tend to want to start with an engineering challenge...how can I make this piece happen? Mind you, I'm just starting to get enough skills to even begin to think that way. But I am attracted more to designs that involve some aspect of: how did you do that?
I envy people who have a strong color sense. My daughter does; I don't. Even when she was only a few years old, she was mixing her own colors with her crayons. And I envy people with a strong design sense, who can make a beautiful pattern out of the pieces. I'm a little better with that, but I'm still behind.
I think it is possible to develop these skills to an extent, sorta like Salieri. lol I may never be Mozart, but hey, I am trying. :)
Oh, we Americans are becoming good. I say this because we ourselves are behind, relative to, say, Europeans or Asians, in terms of us not having generations of crafting experience to work with. That's okay, we are a new country and you have to start somewhere. Americans are and will always be pioneers.Labels: beading notes
