I'm a backwards thinker.
I'm the sort of person who flips to the back of the magazine first,
I'm the sort of person who flips to the back of the magazine first,
and reads to the front.
I chop vegetables with a backwards motion.
And sometimes I even approach my jewellery designing with backwards thinking...
I start with something time-consuming and complicated...
...and work backwards, simplifying the design...
...and simplifying until it cannot be simplified any more...
Are you a backwards thinker too?
Or do you start at the beginning and work forwards?

I've been sick for the past week
and without a voice for three days.
Not.
Happy.
Being sick means I have to slow down,
and I'm not very good at slowing down.
The only good thing about being sick is that I've been able to watch TV
(which I rarely do...there are always far more interesting things to be doing)
and host my own Project Runway Australia episode-watching marathon.
I've only been recording episodes since the start of July.
(I told you I don't watch much TV!)
Not being capable of sitting still for long,
I managed to whip up these earrings when I was supposed to be resting...
(shhh, don't tell hubby!)
I love the edginess of the dark patina...
Isn't hessonite garnet just the *most* perfect shade of orange...
{ SOLD - Thank you! }

Be well, my friends!
Oh Belinda - they are all beautiful :) I love the stacking rings especially, and those cute little earrings are to die for!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling much better - just think of the rolling mill, I'm sure that will make you feel better!
I had never thought about working backwards but what an amazing job you did with it...all the way down to those tiny swirl earrings....love them all. Hope you are feeling better and I hope all is well with your other charges. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work, Belinda--I really love the way you took the elements from the big ring and simplified it down into other designs. I do that too sometimes. And I love the earrings with the stars! Hope you feel better and your voice returns soon :)

ReplyDeleteBelinda, I am a backward person too...I sometimes try to restrain myself from reading the last page of a book I have in my hands before even reading the first page.
ReplyDeleteAnd I always read magazines from the last page!lol
