Do you have a 'making' plan when you sit down to create?

You Make What You Make!
I sat down one day this past weekend intending to make earrings ... ahem ... 7 rings later!! Oh well, I figure it's always important to go with the flow and make what's in your head on the day - some of my best work has been random and unplanned!!

Oh Mel, these are just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI usually do have a "Making plan", sometimes it can change as I am going along, but most times it sort of stays the same, cheers Marie
Thank you Marie :D. I do find if I have a list it helps and I can stick to it, probably because I like to cross things off! But if it's in my head I'm liable to go off on a tangent :)
DeleteGreat rings though Mel and I bet you had loads of fun making those.
ReplyDeleteI sure did Diana - I got on a roll and couldn't stop!!
DeleteThis is so great Mel - to just sit before your materials and just go for it. I have had similar experiences. I think having a good amount of materials available, laid out before you with a clear head is a great start, and you never know where you might end up! I like to create spontaneously. Usually like cooking, if I use a recipe I balls it up... :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work Mel!! I often find things evolve of their own accord during the making - even drawings from life take on different aspects. It's fascinating isn't it. :)
