Creativity is a word used loosely to describe something that you have to pull from the air or a positive compliment from another person for the authentic, unique and exclusive beaded jewelry design well done by you.

As you look at your many bead collections, it is your vision or creativity that will organize your handmade jewelry of beaded necklaces or beaded bracelets into a beautiful and admirable work of wearable art.

But what is that invisible space or energy which causes creativity? Which came first the chicken or the egg? Where is the invisible magic that helped you to see the answer?

After completing the beading of the necklace or the beading of the bracelet, many compliments were received regarding your artistic craftsmanship.

During the magical capsule of time when creative ideas and solutions abound, it is during this time frame that you work with gusto to gather all before the atmosphere of the magical zone disappears. How we wish this would happen often as it is a silver platter of gifts that are given to an artist.

What do we do when this magical capsule, zone, or wonderful rainbow of gifts are not available but we still have to produce products?

Seek knowledge, investigate new techniques, discover new jewelry assembly products, shop for new bead trends and do meditation or other techniques of spiritual quietness.

If you are anything like me, after I have completed beading many jewelry projects I am ready to create something different. Well, you probably know as well as I do that something different means it is time to gain knowledge about something that we have not done.

Gain new knowledge by turning to new professional jewelry instructors and VISTA the local library.

As we follow the directions given by another jewelry instructor this places us in a position to walk in their shoes and experience their creative life.

After you have lived with their knowledge, like the tree of life, you will branch into other areas as you have been inspired by their creative works.

You can imagine how this inspiration enables you to recreate other one-of-a-kind jewelry designs and jewelry techniques as you travel this new road.
