Whenever and where ever the inspiration may present itself I pull out my journal and sketch it out with element details as needed. This was a straightforward design and didn't really require any clarification. Some of my designs do need exact information so that I can understand the design weeks later when I am at the bench.
The reality pieces are modified as needed during the fabrication phase. I opted for a more rounded shape instead of the teardrop shape in the sketch. I also added lever backs, but I think the next pair will have handcrafted earrings instead like the original design.

Your process is amazing. Lovely creative items.
My process is thinking, writing, editing, stupification, doubt, thinking some more, letting it rest, taking it to a critique group and sometimes throwing it in the corner.
I've started keeping a journal also. It seems that I have great ideas at the times when I'm far away from my beads. I keep a small one in my purse for emergencies.
beautiful!!!!!!
I love the sketch book idea, and I really need to start one. I even bought one with blank pages on clearance at Michaels. I want it to be more of a mixed media exploration with sketches (which I need to work at refining) and color swatches and quotes and random bits of inspiration. I want that journal to be a work of art in itself. But the first step is actually carrying it with me... maybe I need a bigger bag?!
I don't always sketch, but I do have some that are waiting for the right time to complete and that sketch saves me when I get there. Usually I just jump in and let the beads tell me where to go. But I always need an inspiration, music, lyric, wallpaper, master art, something tangible to start the story flowing...
Thanks for the probing question today! Enjoy the day! Erin
