It's tough to work this way, always conscious of what we need to be doing for the challenge, and sticking to the theme we submitted. I so badly wanted to write to Brenda Sue & ask for permission to change it all when I got stuck, so I know how hard it is. It seemed like I came up with ideas for everything except what I was supposed to be doing this month. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01813537507981139260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965223557304120250.post-61536332307401669092015-02-22T16:21:32.285-08:002015-02-22T16:21:32.285-08:00All of these pieces are gorgeous, but that last on...All of these pieces are gorgeous, but that last ones a stunner, keep up the Good work. <br />XOXO!Kristy Le Trendy Jewelryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05942827113613534829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965223557304120250.post-89326237958151303762015-02-22T15:03:56.681-08:002015-02-22T15:03:56.681-08:00Wow--I really like all the 5 pieces in the top pho...Wow--I really like all the 5 pieces in the top photo! You have wonderful ideas and I love your thoughts on how you progressed! (I didn't really share much of my moments of being stuck because it was hard to make it positive and to describe how I came out of it--I still don't quite know how it all finally came together!) I love the colors and shells on your mermaid piece and for my part, I hope you do all the lines and then let us see them! Glad you're on etsy so I can "check up" on you! You really do beautiful work and your assemblage piece with the butterfly is lovely as are they all! :):)WilyWolverinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422471233203435608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965223557304120250.post-1561279230953550962015-02-22T14:53:06.955-08:002015-02-22T14:53:06.955-08:00I will try to make them bigger.I will try to make them bigger.Melidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341803814203942899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965223557304120250.post-16470772786578659862015-02-22T13:20:14.752-08:002015-02-22T13:20:14.752-08:00Thank you for sharing with us those "brick wa...Thank you for sharing with us those "brick wall" moments; I was facing them, also.
