Dream to Make Believe
 |
I once had a dream I was sitting on the cream marble floor of a strange, all-white room with giant windows, toiling over a cool woven necklace that I had to get done by the end of the night so I could ship it to the manufacturer. I was stressing out, and almost in tears because I thought I would never get it done. I, apparently, was a jewelry designer in this dream. I, also, was in some sort of relationship with an almost-40 rocker/actor— guess who? Obviously, it was just a dream.
All dreams aside, in the last couple of days, I’ve made a couple of bracelets, nothing special and the two necklaces I’m wearing.
Both necklaces were made using aluminum chain— gold for one black for the other— and glass beads, but the looks are very different. The gold necklace is very simple with only a few beads dispersed throughout, while the black-chained necklace has a smattering of glass pearls in various sizes an colors with two large green stones book-ending the dangling beads.
Part of me wants to start selling some of the jewelry I make, but I would hate to part with a one-of-a-kind piece and making a duplicate would be time consuming because I’m not one for measuring lengths or counting beads. I just do what looks good on me.
I have the rest of January to be creative, and then school starts. I’m sure there will be more creations to come!
