Simple lines

Sometimes things get too complicated in life and we're reminded that we should aim to keep things simple.... go back to basics. Lines. Metal. Wire. Pure lines. No color. Simple. Minimalist. Simplicity.

My brain is still adjusting to verrrrry slow and verrrrry gradual increases in my new epilepsy medication (this stuff is potent, wow), and I do feel better for awhile, but when the next small increase comes up on the schedule, it takes awhile for my brain to adjust and then it's a challenge until I've adjusted.

Because of this, I don't have anything new to show you today, but I pulled a few pairs of earrings I've made in the past that show this concept of keeping things very very simple.

Sometimes when the creative muse isn't 'happening', maybe just going back to pure simple lines is a way to create while the muse is on vacay ;)

Here's a few examples for you:

What do you do when your muse wanders off?
I'd love to hear!

Be well,

Earring Display: Hidden Storage

I love sleek and functional and that is exactly what this Bamboo Earring Holder from Bamboo Blossom Craft on Etsy is all about. It is created from sustainable bamboo and finished with a protective coating that is used for furniture and cabinet making. There is a set of slotted acrylic panels that have been cut to house dozens of earrings. And there is a mirror on the front so that you can see how the earrings look. It is so minimalist and simple, yet it hides a lot of earrings that won't get tangled in your jewelry box. That is clever!
