Gotta work somewhere...

Image
I have this tiny studio apartment. From the front door, if you take two steps you will be in the bathroom :). But I needed somewhere to work, so I turned one corner of the main room into my jewelry and mannequin work station, using wood planks and concrete blocks.

When you don't like it, then re-do IT!

This is the original PEACE that I made a few years back. ************** A 4-strand opaque black seed bead necklace with various glass and African Trade beads with Turqoise teardrop beads featuring a Turquoise disc pendant. I still have it because no one has bought it. Even though I like it, I never did LOVE IT! It looks sloppy - not a intentional, chic, kind of sloppy. But just sloppy. The necklace did not lay right on the chest, and I place the Turquoise teardrop beads in wierd places and I did not properly space the strands. I wanted to re-do it but moved on to the next PEACE because I felt someone would buy it. Guess what? No one bought it. Hell, no one has bought most of my necklace PEACES, but I will continue to make them because I LOVE MY PEACEs and I LOVE MAKING MY PEACEs. Anyway, in this case I decided to revamp, redo, reinvent the PEACE. At first, I was just going to restring it and keep it the same. But after taking it apart and revamping it, I made this PEACE and I LOVE IT...
