I got a request from a co-worker for more feminine necklaces and this has now become my new obsession. I had an idea for a funky chain necklace with ribbon beads and a bow, got out the supplies, started watching a DVR'd episode of Warehouse 13, and got to work.
I finished sometime around 1am. The glue I was using to make the ribbon beads was temperamental and took a few tries to get what I thought I wanted. When I went to bed last night, I thought I liked the necklace.
Well, that's the nature of creativity. Sometimes it works and sometimes . . . no. It doesn't look as cute as it did late last night. I think this one will be reworked somehow. It's not so hideous that it's worthy of Craft Fail's blog, but it's not my best. The best thing is learning from these craft mistakes. They help me make better designs in the future.
