Hello lovelies!

I wanted to come in and share a little about how I go about creating. Not sure if anyone’s interested in this but I thought it would be fun and of course its a chance for me to share a bit more about myself.

When I’m ready to sit down to create there is one of three ways I start. One by looking at my unfinished items and trying to talk myself into finishing them. That almost never happens.

After that I try to recall an idea I had for a new item or pattern since I rarely write anything down. This usually happens in the middle of an item I’m already creating and yes I will most likely stop what I’m doing to try out this new idea. Then the fun part comes. Its time to pick a color combo! I will go more into picking colors in another post.

Usually when I’m creating something new there’s a lots of wasted thread, maybe a broken needle or two, and a little frustration. But more often than not I’m satisfied with the end product.

When I can control my urge to create something new I pick a design I feel need more color or pattern options. I pick my colors which is my favorite part of the bead weaving process. Well second to finishing an item .

After I pick my colors then I set up my work space. I pull out a little of each color on my work space to make sure I like the colors together. When I’m happy with my color combo I choose the thread I want to use, size and color. After that I gather my other supplies I need and might need. I do this because I don’t like to stop once I’ve started creating. This is a no no for me because I have a hard time finishing one item at a time.

That’s my process in a nut shell. If you all have anymore questions I’m always willing to answer them.

Thanks for stopping by DMG’s
