So, I been stressed a little lately because i have been mixing sooooo many colors trying to match certain colors in some of the Vera Bradley patterns. If you have ever tryed to mix paint, crayons, markers, pencils; it is not the same with glass!! It is tedious and it is frustrating. Once i get it no problem i will just keep my recipe and my palette for another enjoyable day of creating in the future. However, i have not been having any fun, except i am happy with one of the palettes. Soooo, i was looking around my studio and came to the wall words i had put on my wall back when i created my studio. It says:
“Pleasure In The Job Puts Perfection In The Work ~ Aristotle
Anyhoo, since i have been stressed and bogged down with orders and not having any luck with some of the colors, i feel like time has been wasted and i am not having pleasure in my job!!! Wellllll, i decided to just play and not worry about THOSE beads and Voila’, just like that things started to flow and i actually discovered one of the colors by accident, HA!!! It was when i looked at that saying, i took a deep breath and tryed to remember why i started making beads in the first place. WHY you ask? It is because of my love of color and my love of glassy things that propelled me in my journey. It was not stress, it was not because i had to do it, it was because i WANTED to do it!! Sooo, for the next couple of days i am going to create the rest of my beads for my new store!!! YES, a new store called The Silver Rabbit, and it is in Michigan. There will be more on that later!!
Sooo (yes alot of elongated words tonight), remember to have fun, even with the tedious every day things like in this video!! I love this, i would so be in shape if this were on every stair i came across!! Why, because pleasure even in the small things makes a difference! Peace!
