"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before.
We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty."
- Dieter F. Uchtdorf

A bracelet and a brooch

Here are a couple of projects I have made in the last little while.


The first is a bracelet I made with memory wire. It is from my Simply Beads kit of the month. I didn't follow the instructions on what order to put the beads, but I like it this way.


My ribbon flower brooch I made one late night (or early morning). I used wired ribbon and cut the wire off of one side so that it was frayed. I pulled the wire on the other side and gathered it up. It kind of naturally twisted around and made the flower. I sewed  a button in the middle to secure it and hot glued on a pin back. I pinned it to my lampshade from an earlier post.
