treasure island and too.

i love making stuff.

i love people asking me to do it for them.

it makes my innards swell in a good way.

sometimes, my version of what someone asks for is just fine.

other times it is off base.

either by a little or a huge amount.

ultimately, my goal is to make the request fit a dream or a vision.

this usually depends on a free form interpretation of rough notes on the subject.

it doesn't always happen the first time through..

so i try things over and over 'til i get what i think is satisfying.

three times through is about my maximum tolerance for anything.

then i need to start completely afresh on a completely different design.

some ideas are worth a second try.

i get to fall in love while making things.

i am not so stubborn to ignore someone else's ideas

when i get to try them out with my own spin on them.

when this happens and think i need a copy for my own self.

my goal is to make make a faithful copy.

i really try my best.

rarely does the second piece match the first.

sometimes it grows and morphs into something a little better.

anyways, i made a necklace for my friend.

i wanted it.

baadly.

so i tried it all over again.

i offer both to her... and hope that one of the pieces match the original idea.

then a third idea starts.

it seems like i can get stuck in a loop like the movie

"Groundhog's Day".

everything starts with the same entire notion, but little tiny changes are added in and built upon.

There is a request for a 3rd try on this... but i am going to sleep on it.

i have hopes that this can be resolved in a snap.

if it isn't, i get to wear both necklaces until a decision is made.

i like these win-win situations.

if i do a third variation, then it is time to list on etsy.

my virtual home away from home.

now if i could only figure out how to get that etsy store widget on this blog-site.
