Hey everyone!

Not sure about you, but now that we're getting closer to Summer, I'm definitely feeling more inspired and motivated!

The warmer weather and spending time outside has been a big inspiration source as of late.

What's currently inspiring you?

Excited to read your replies!

A lot of times, I will look stones and beads to just have an idea. My eife on the other hand is working on things, shes working on a few projects right now but dont think they are items that will end up in the store. She does the fiber items, I do the leather, beadwork and jewlery type items. I just have been busy with work this year more often than usual.

I like that! Getting the building blocks in place before jumping into the full design.

A lot of times I will see things in my minds eye with the beads and wire while I'm shopping or browsing, as for thw leather, I've got aeveral patterns I've made so I will freehand doodle or do sketches on sheets of paper cut the same size as i need. I dont throw them away because sometimes looking back, it ends up being a good deaign and use them later. Leather can be forgiving unless you make a wrong cut or worse. We are currently working on getting a workshop studio built and then we can go full blown and planing a youtube channel to go along with our blogs as well.
