Having my hands and mind sitting idle seems like an impossible task for me... I have tried and tried to enjoy an entire movie without my thoughts straying... if my hands are not in the middle of making something, then my mind is... however, new ideas are hard to come by these days... because just as I think I have thought of something new to do, just google it and there it is...DRIVES ME NUTS...
I make these really tiny terrarium pendant necklaces...thinking I know people in the past have filled them with sand, rocks, liquids of sorts, potions and such...but what if I put a birds nest or wimsical mushrooms or itty bitty acorns in them?...make them into tiny 1" pieces of magical art...so I made them...and then came accross them on the web...seriously?... awe well... I suppose I am going to hand it up to "great minds think alike" and continue on... besides, they are too cute not to make...using my hands to make such petite details is completely satisfying and then the high of when you show them to someone and they wonder how-in-the-pickle barrel you made them... and I say, "I just did"...pointing to the tiny leaves and branches and eggs or acorns or mushrooms and smile because despite having the original idea or not, I made that...
