Dancing with Bits of Time

Sometimes it feels like life snatches away the creative moment.  I'm filled with inspiration and great longing to transform this into in-hand creations. Lately this strong urge seems to get usurped by other 'more important' issues.

Then I wonder if these are also part of the process - that it's like a boiling pot. The food will be done when it's done. Carrots take longer than zucchini.  And maybe some ideas, in whatever medium you are using, need their own time with interruptions part of that process. 

There's a delicate line between gestation and procrastination and I so don't want to fall prey to the latter, and at the same time, I want to honor the former.  At the moment I'm dancing between bits of time working on new creations and literally taking care of business.  It seems like the computer and emails eat big chucks out the day and every night as I climb into bed I think, "Didn't I just do this?"

'Heart Song'

'Heart Song' is a new design etched out of this dance between busyness and creativity. These earrings remind me to 'keep it light' and follow life's lead. You just never know where inspiration will come from.  Five months ago in California, a waitress was serving us brunch. I couldn’t keep my eyes off her earrings.  They inspired this design produced in Bali.  That’s why we’re called “World on a String”.
