DAY 1: 31-DERFUL DAYS of ART BEGIN...

Being 31-derful is AMAZING!  I am wiser than last year and looking forward to 31-derful days of ART!  As the official kick-off of my 31 at 31 Project, I decided to include some of my dearest friends and make jewelry together.

We all brought our old earrings, bracelets, necklaces and beads to de-construct and make brand new pieces.

DeCarla, Ranny and Risha started right away.

The funny thing is, I took a career assessment test to see what types of work environments, interactions and experiences in the workplace motivate me to excel and working with tools is something I have a very low tolerance for.  I was frustrated when the little pieces would not close shut properly, my eyes hurt from straining, and I just wanted the finished product already!  Then I remembered that I was suppose to be enjoying the ART OF ADORNMENT and I took a breath and just took it one step at a time.  I am proud of my creations!
