Chick's Passions Labs

Things are pretty busy in the "Chick's Lab" these days. Granted, the Chick's Lab is just our dining room table I use for a work space, where I tend to be experimenting with different ideas the last few days. I have been popping out a few different types of pieces, watching how to video on youtube and just being creative. My area at the table is a mess, beads everywhere, experiments everywhere, and if your trying to come over to be near me for any reason you might want to put on some house shoes as I tend to drop things including tiny pieces of wire that feel like torture devices to bare feet. (um yeah, experience!) I am very thankful for a more than understanding husband, whom I know is not a fan of my messes, but he tolerates it without complaining too much.

Sometimes I get frustrated, because it doesn't always feel like I have all the materials at hand I need to complete the experiments I am working on. I have all these ideas in my head to try, so many that it becomes overwhelming. There was a time that being overwhelmed like that I would just give up and not try at all. All those thoughts would be crazy bouncing around in my brain like some sort of super bouncy ball stuck in a pin ball machine. I could never put them in order before, so either old age is setting in and I have less padding in my brain for them to bounce off of. Or I am getting better at filing them into the proper drawers and folders that make up a person's brain thoughts. Anyway, the thoughts don't equal materials, and I no longer live in a place I can just get into my car and drive 5 minutes to pick up supplies on a whim. The lists of materials I want to try is growing longer and longer ever second.

I already have a few finished pieces that at fit to sell posted at my etsy shop. I find each and every single one gorgeous and my muse has absolutely outdone herself helping me create them. She doesn't seem to have the same great sense of humour I do, and takes her job of using my hands to mold or transform objects into greatness very seriously. I have to keep my sens of humor in check while she's around or she disappears into the great unknown of wherever muses go when they aren't with us.

I took some cell phone snaps of some of last nights experiments. The buzz around here is to wait until daylight to take photos for my etsy shop with my real camera. It seems a better idea to photograph them in natural light as the beads and wires tend to give off glare from other light sources. (including the light bulb over my head.) (No, really, there is a lamp above me!)







Experimental Bird's Nest
Coming Soon!

I'm pretty sure a couple of these will become gifts, and they may never see the light that has become to be known as my lil etsy shop and that is perfectly fine with me. Giving my creations a new home besides the shoe box I keep them all in for safe keeping is a far better fate for them! Anyways, go take a look at my shop and see if there is something in there that you would like to give a new home to! You'll thank me for it later, I am sure!





All my love!
