Frustration can lead to inspiration...

• Where does your inspiration come from? 

• Does everything you make turn out?

For me one thing often leads to another.

When I conceive an idea for the most part it unfolds almost like a dream ~

I become lost in the details and delight in the process ~

I go with the flow and roll with the punches ~

However things don't always turn out as I plan,

Such was the case when I set out to make this dress ~

This story that I stiched onto the dress reads:

she stitched a little story with a needle and thread
she wrote of love and courage and how to take a stand.Around her tiny neck a strand of buttons she knitted...
 
she said:
 "I like making a piece of string into something I can wear." 
 
she was sure that sewing mends the soul~

In the winter 2012 issue of  Belle Armoire 

I write how it took a mistake to get me to push my art a little more ~

If you want to see how my jewelry inspired my "Sewing Mends The Soul" dress.
take a look at this slid show to see the progression.
