experimenting with leather

I started playing with ways to make the cords for my pendants be a part of the piece. This doesn’t hit the mark, but it is the start of an idea that I want to play with. I like the idea of more of a lariat style. The scale is off. I’m not wild about the colors. It is too long. I would consider it a good experiment in what I DON’T want it to look like. Back to the drawing board. Oh, how I love process.

Credence

Lillibridge, trio pendant

I guess a sketch is the same as a To-Do list. It is a suggestion that lends some power or credence to your day’s work. On my To-Do list is the need to work with more direction and attention. Too much time gets frittered away (sometimes frittering in on my list though) when I don’t map out my day. A long time ago someone told me that every day they write down the 5 ways they can make the most difference in their world or the world of those they love. This seems like a pretty good way to start the day. Even if 2 of the 5 things get done or even started— I call it a win.
