Just Playing

Happy New Year's Eve to one and all!!  It has been such a busy month for all of us so I though I would just show you how I play with my beads with no real plan in mind other than an inspiration piece.

Yes the December component of the month was my inspiration. So I pulled out all my coordinating beads and started playing with them.

First I started just seeing what a chain would look like

Interesting possibilities but they just didn't do what I wanted.  Then I thought of components.

I like the little snowflake with the rivoli in it very much.  I did not like the way the hex pyramid sat so that got torn apart.

I love these little tri beads and this chain just kinda took on a life of its own.  I love it.

You will have to wait until the the reveal of the component challenge on the 3rd of January to see what I finally decided on.  I will tell you that I ended up with 2 separate designs and a morph of a third.

How do you like to design?  Do you sometimes just wing it?
