I've had fun looking at all the blogs and notes posted by our class. And now its time for me to get into what I know I can do.

I'm feeling better just thinking of what I know I can do, instead of going All 'out of the box'! I learned from our second project, I don't have to include Everything and Every idea. Yes Liz, I am listening.

I was watching the Exhibition in Motion in Detroit again on Tara's blog and noticed what I really didn't feel good about; necklaces looking great walking toward you, and feeling so disappointed as I watched them walk away. The back of the piece can and should look as exciting as the front. So this is one thing my work will show, when I figure out just what that will be.

I've been thinking fall, pine cones, acorns all the stuff you find when playing outside with the kids. We'd come in and make bird feeders out of the pine cones (with peanut butter, remember?) I love to see the wheat blowing in the wind in the fields, and the flowers as they start to dry up, hydrangea's, those mini lanterns...but in reality, if I use the real thing I'll just end up sneezing...so I found these straw leaves in subtle fall shades with beautiful movement.
I'm thinking of a necklace with the feel of a scarf, draping off to the side and over the shoulder, and of course across the back.
I have some copper that I can use, but I hate the smell of that. (Is there a coating or varnish that might cover the smell up?)
Well I'm off to go manipulate something into a necklace, see ya!
