Beads Making Projects in a Rut??

In a previous post I had written about how your beads making projects could be used to give your clothing a creative kick.  I was going through some newsletters that I subscribe to and I came across an article written by Danielle Fox for Beading Daily where she writes about using fashion to help inspire new jewelry designs.

In the article titled "Inspired by Attire" she makes an excellent point about finding your inspiration for new designs from articles of clothing.  The reasoning behind it she explains is because...

Clothes give you parameters to work within--like color, style, neckline, motifs. All these details help narrow down design possibilities, a must for an indecisive person like me!

What a great point! I've found myself in a position many times where I am having an artistic block and I just cannot think of the next design or theme of jewelry to beading design.

Next time you are completely at loss for your next beading or jewelry project, just look in your closet, grab a purse or do some wandering through your local fashion boutique!!

So where do you get your inspiration when you're drawing a blank for your next creation?
