Adopting New Ways

Stepping out of my comfort zone has never been my forte'. I will be the first to admit that although I am working on relinquishing control, I like to take the reigns more often than not. But as I read a great book by the name of "Boy Meets Girl" by Joshua Harris, I decided to put adopting new ways into practice today.

I won't get into details, but today I recognized that there may have been areas that I was wrong, and areas I am willing to take some slack for where I wasn't. The bottom line is, I am in the business of doing what I need to do to make things right in the eyes of my Maker.

With my brief thought of the day out of the way, a necklace was in the workings this evening. It is brass with serpentine nuggets. The parts come from a broken belt, and a few necklaces. While I was creating it I had an ideal of a woman in the Tudor period in my mind. They often wore heavy, and gaudy jewelry...somewhat like what is in fashion today.

It's chandelier style!

Stay tuned for tomorrows creative conquest!
