This is some of all the ideas and things who occupied my mind right now, so many ideas that I will make finish, seeing what’s happened with my ideas in my head and my thoughts when then comes out and up in 3 D shapes of reality…As you all know more and less, the idea could be great when you see it in your mind, but in reality it can be totally wrong…
I have the “way”, but I haven’t the end destination… This is always interesting and also a little bite frustrated and irritated… to have a view in my head, my mind and then let it out in the most “good” or “perfect” way… to translate a thought into reality…
Today it gives me headache, too many ideas and to little time to work with it…
But I think that called life?!
Right now I working with everything, glass beads, porcelain animal, and plastic laminated images, every day plastic objects, buttons and so on, everything is for the moment a creative mess…
Every piece that I work with has a story and/or connection to the past or some fairy tale.

I can relate to your process entirely!
Hi Thea!
Thank you for stopping by and left a comment!
I was looking at your blog and I can feel a connection to your work… I saw that you also used wool in your jewellery pieces. Wool is so funny to work with I think, I love to needle felt.
I haven’t reached the point when I mixed felt with my plastic – porcelain animals yet, but may be some day…
Just for the moment I use felt/wool as some kind of “beside” work, people like it and wants to buy it, so it’s a little bite like bread and butter jewellery…
I’m little bite curios and interesting about the material, the “plastic” you dip your pieces in, what is it and how do you use it?!

Hi Paula,
Thank you for visiting me too and for posting images!
http://www.plastidip.com/ is what I use.
It comes clear in a can. They make a kit that contains tints to mix for color.I pour and mix in smaller containers and I use a respirator ( a basic one made for paint fumes). As you reuse it it needs to be thinned with naphta (a solvent).
I really enjoy needle felting too, the process can be so painterly yet dimensional. I have to jump around with my techniques, not only because I love to be in discovery mode, but also because I find the needle felting can flare up my tendonitis if I over do it. And your right people do like it, nothing wrong with bread and butter!
Have a great creative weekend.
Hi Thea!
Thank you for the info, I will check it out and may be sometimes in the future I can try it myself, see if its possible for me to dip things… I longing for dipping my things… But right now I have no idea how to use it… I like the expression when others use the “dipping” idea… but I will come up with some kind of more or less own area to use it in.
I wish you a good weekend and all the luck with your jewellery stuff too.
With love and thoughts Paula.
