In general, do you find that your ideas come first, and then you figure out the tools to realize them, or do your ideas come out of the capabilities of your tools?
When I am painting, it is the idea, then I retrieve the colors I want and purchase what I don't have and need. I rarely stop to consider what I already have on hand until I need it.
When I am making jewelry, I work with my materials at hand and assemble from there. I start with either a focal bead, theme, or color scheme for my intended recipient and put something together. But then, my bead collection is vast from years of hoarding and collecting. And I have stopped making "the market" my intended recipient years ago, so now I only do custom pieces for specific people or occasions.
Thanks sweetie! I do love Caly! We met on the playa what 3 burns ago? We were neighbors. She walked by my camp in an amazing GIR jacket and I chased her down to talk to her. Found each other again on LJ and she has been enriching my life since!
Yep, both kitte and lostmachine are favorite random-playa-people that I've come to know and love!
It was totally random that we walked into your camp this year having a dance party during the dust storm... and then I looked at the sign and thought "Camp Yes, Please- hey! I *know* these people!" So awesome! Sorry we never got a chance to come back and cheer for you!
Yeah, I am sorry you didn't get a chance to cheer for us while you where there. Damn primadonna Dj's not wanting to interrupt their set! LOL. He kicked me off the machine to do his set just before you arrived if that makes you feel any better.
hehe, no worries. Your pals at Leopardy loved us and told us we had to come back, except we never did. Ah, playa time... Cheering was one of my favorite activities, though, so I hope we'll do it again. We already have outfits and everything!
