The Divorce is Final

Well it was a great day on B&B as donnaho married her honeybear in front of stephbitch, and in stephbitch's own home. The "children" (all at age 40+ or close now) were there all grim faced and sad...psychopammy was there, crazy as ever dreaming of hosin down donnaho as she walked down the aisle...and stephbitch was there convinced that honeybear would have second thoughts bout marryin donnaho, coughcoughdidn'thappencoughcough...well, it kinda almost maybe sorta did, honeybear had a moment of confusion where everyone thought he was maybe wafflin, but he came to in time to day I do. The bride was radiant in a forester original gown, perfectly tanned and coiffed, and emphatically showin great boobage...

All the guests left early, the "children" going out to get drunk, at least thorny was, but at the very end before steph left she heard laughter from inside and she looked inside her old house and saw her honeybear dancin with donnaho, havin a great old time and not even thinkin bout her for even one little second...too bad, so sad, been a long time comin but the divorce is finally final...

It's been a slow week over on ATWT, however there's one bright spot and that would be juicyjanet, badbrad's old flame and mother of his daughter liberty, aka libby...there is already big trouble brewin between juicyjanet and katieho cause it's soooo obvious that juicyjanet's makin a play for badbrad...this could get interesting cause she also obviously came to town with an agenda, she's lookin to be a little like gwen's mom iris, greedy, money lovin and a ho...this is an example of a fun nucharacter, I'm likinnnnnnn iiiiiit...also this week nulily is attempting to fit right in as lily, but she is very seriously not lily...now I'll give her a couple more days to straighten it out, but she is soooo not lily...this is an example of a recast character that doesn't work...we'll see how long this lasts.

There is a light on the horizon for next week cause previews show that Nuke will be returning, and I'm also hopin that henry and vienna get involved in the juicyjanet/katieho/badbrad story cause this could become very humerous...vienna is not gonna like juicyjanet, I'm seein some problems there, meowwwwwwwww...

In The Zone

Okay so usually I start my jewelry making around soap time, but for today only, since I'm up early, I'll start in the morning instead. I'm very organized but to start my process I pull out shiny bright things that catch my eye...I may have a vague idea of the direction I'm going in but usually just seeing all the posibilities gives me, um, possibilities. I start playing with color combinations, which leads to type of beads, which makes me think of chain types and color. The more I push stuff around the more ideas I get and I usually just go in the direction that suits my mood.

Sometimes I'll have a very specific idea or theme...themes help a lot when deciding where to begin...if you think summer what do you think of...well that could be many things, might be pale shades of off whites and light colors, or might be bright, vivid colors that look like blooming flowers. So many possibilities, so little time...

Inspiration is also a great way to get going. Sometimes it's something you see, or maybe a smell that reminds you of something which leads to a sort of color plan, and as you dig into the beads and the silver, and whatall you get what you're after. The chunky bracelet picture posted above is an example of inspiration. I looooooove chunky beads and when I found these I had to, had to have em, cause I could just see what I was going to do with it. This is the beginning of the zone, kind of a different kind of zone which is yippee-yay excitement, and a feeling of aha!!!

So what happens is I kind of pre-arrange the item and start working on it...that's when I get into the zone, hours pass like minutes, I am completely happy, I notice nothing except what I'm doing. I love the zone, it is a free, creative and happy place to be, and the more you create the easier it is to get into.

And then, when you're done, you can look at your piece, and on the days when it works, it is remarkable to look at what you've done and say, damn, good stuff...there is really nothing like creating something from your hands.
