There is no doubt that I love to create things, but I sometimes struggle with what things I should create. My biggest struggle is creating pieces that people will want to buy. I know what I like, but will others like it too? Will they like it enough to buy it?
There are times when I find myself staring at my bead collection waiting for inspiration to hit me. When it doesn’t, I tend to move on to my seashell or sea glass collection and then back to the beads. This circular indecisiveness might continue hours or I might start a few things, but not actually completing anything. Finally, I become overwhelmed by choice – at which point, I pack everything away and go to bed. Frustrated with myself for another day wasted…
I find myself having great ideas when I’m at work, in the car or at the grocery store – inconvenient times when I’m not able to create and by the time I get home, prepare supper, clean up the mess and finally get a chance to create – I don’t “feel” it.
My designs change with my moods. My moods change often. I need to find consistency. I need to feel it…
