Inspiration and imagination...

After a week working in a High school and a weekend of replacing missing exhausts and feeling really grotty with a summer cold, i have no ideas

AT ALL

i haven't made a single bead in over 2 weeks and i have no inspiration to make anything at all

Any suggestions are greatly received.x x

oh hunny!!
I couldnt possibly feel qualified to suggest anything to you!
Just been stroking my daffodil bead!
My only advice is lemsip, duvet and feet up!
You cant force creativity- esp not when sorting out exhausts and viruses! hardly the most inspiring subjects eh?

I just got a commission using metalised plastic beads...not something I have in stock as standard, so I have just ordered from sayila...have a mooch round their site- the plastic is always worth a giggle!!it'll make you smile at least!

Been working in a high school eh? I had this weird dream the other night that started off all high school musical and ended up as a slasher film!!lmao ...I shouldnt talk to my 10 yr old then fall asleep watching CSI should i?

I was trying to find a get well soon smiliey..then I thought why not make smiley inspired beads!??!lol

Oh Anna, how rubbish for you

Let me think ... eyes ... eyes ... what about high school kids? Dennis the Menace, Plug ... there must have been some inspiring students last week!

SOmething you never do, barrels, flowers, florals,?????

SOmething you always do and know like the back of your hand....spacers?

FUGLIES!!!!

Pull stringer till its coming out of your ears so you have plenty in stock for when mojo comes back. Twisties - always good to keep your hand in and fun too, so many different methods.
What about some name cane - now there's a challenge to keep you busy

Oh Anna read your post this morning and have been thinking what i can suggest but can't really come up with anything apart from cat beads ( this is all part of my mission to get a cat bead made by every lampwork i know ) but I have to say what the others have suggested sounds spot on but most of all get well soon chick summer colds are awful

Anna, I saw this this morning and my first thought was dichro but then I went to your website and saw that you're well stocked in that department (lovely beads they are too). My second thought was those zingy citrus ones you used to make. They used to cheer me up just looking at them. Or how about some shells?

Do you make angel beads?

Any better today Anna?
Sorry you are feeling under the whether.
Now lets see. Murinni cane, twisties and make loads of spacers, that should bet you back into it. You'll be so bored of doing the same thing, you will want to make little additions here and there the Bob your uncle (just guessing )
Then you post your pictures here

Thanks guys you are the best!

Well. i only saw this just, and i made a few beads today, i have been given my asthma inhaler AGAIN, thought i had grown out of that, and i have a REALLY husky voice!!

i made some beads, and i hate them all except the rockpools, when i get chance i'll take a pic and show you... i just don't like them...

i made some new murrini and i liked the effect, they made the new limpits on the rockpools.

I have tried enamels and find myself doing Andrea Guarino inspired beads, then i stop...

I made some organics and they feel messy to me...

SO

In my next beading session i shall go back to basics, make some spacers, a cat, barrels etc etc

Thanks chaps, like i said i shall be back with pics

Glad you are back to making again.
Your beads always remind me of the sea, it sounds like you need a trip to the seaside & some sunshine (don't we all!!). I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of your latest beads.
