Unfortunately my creativity seems to be at its best when I am the least available to take advantage of it; driving, showering, in church, etc. I'm neither a morning nor a night person--which I am ashamed to admit.

You are, most definitely, an inspiration to me. <br /><br />I have always been a 'night owl', and married a 'morning person'(go figure!). I love growing things and will have to say, have two amazing children.

I'd say it has to be one of your many "best"! What really blew me away is designing in all of the moon phases, too much! A bio-feedback machine indicated that I am most creative during the full moon and the new moon! So I'm attracted to this gorgeous piece in that way, too!Off the Beadin' Pathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698952086696011597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-48653134074029163072011-06-01T03:57:33.813-05:002011-06-01T03:57:33.813-05:00Erin, everyone has already said it, but I just hav...Erin, everyone has already said it, but I just have to repeat: <br />This necklace is so fantastically beautifully stunning and wonderful.

I can truly appreciate all of the time it took to make each component by hand, and how it really did take all of those hours for 2 consecutive days. You must be so focused when you set to work! This is stunning, you must be so incredibly proud of the end result. All of the jewelry that you made for the Verse & Vision show are such one-of-a-kind pieces of art. You did it! How you did it ALL, I'll never know. Even as a fellow night-owl, I can't seem to squeeze it all in (and look at the late hour of this comment!). :-)Cindyhttp://www.sweetbeadstudio.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-16003691521175610602011-05-31T21:41:01.966-05:002011-05-31T21:41:01.966-05:00Erin you have knocked it out of the park with this...Erin you have knocked it out of the park with this one! The symbolism throughout is noteworthy, and I admire your commitment to handmade components. It's a real work of art, and you should be very proud.

The days when I am able to and encouraged to do work during the day, it doesn't happen. I simply cannot make anything worth showing anyone. But late at night, creativity and ideas seem to burst open. If I could consistently work those hours, that would be ideal. But if I did, I would never spend time with my husband. LOL! Yesterday I worked on re-organizing my studio. It was such a mess I couldn't function at ALL. Heck, I could barely walk into it. By 2am, I was about to shut it down when I saw a couple things still sitting on my bead table and they were CALLING out to me. So I had to. I finally climbed into bed around 3:30am having completed 1 cuff and nearly completing a necklace (need to make a few beads for it first).Jennifer Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470332267386141926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-80187889094583553082011-05-31T09:11:48.346-05:002011-05-31T09:11:48.346-05:00i am so taken by this i am wordless. i fell in lo...i am so taken by this i am wordless. i fell in love instantly. i am a night owl, prefer the moon to the sun, and whiskey is my drink. i bake from scratch, grow my own veggies, raise my kids, and never thought of what it meant until i read your questions. i am sure the questions will be in my thoughts for days to come, but right now, all i can think of is how much i want to touch this exquisite piece of jewelry you created.Christine Altmillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12097437105566740407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-50643810005900486252011-05-31T08:55:37.425-05:002011-05-31T08:55:37.425-05:00I'm with you, I was in the studio until midnig...I'm with you, I was in the studio until midnight last night.
