My Creativity Journal
inspiration around your neck
I find myself inspired by so many different things on a daily basis. Lately, I am falling in love with the bulky, sparkly, old collage style necklaces. I have been finding these gems in two places.
The first one is from a designer – Vera Wang – has made some stunning pieces. With her combinations of textures and her contrast with the soft and hard – it creates a piece you want to look at. They are chic and modern yet seem to have a charm about them. They suggests a vintage flair with a cloud of flea market lingering beside it. I just want to wear them for a day with a grey t-shirt and ripped jeans and walk around in the sun and sparkle.
From a new emerging artist, I have a very talented young friend that is making jewelry. I have half a dozen pieces of hers and I adore them! She is extremely creative in her creations! She pushes outside the box and I think she has a very special eye.
She has necklaces available on her Facebook. Check them out or contact her, she will make custom pieces. She is amazing and I am all about promoting new artists! My goal is to own as many as I can from Jeni.
For this week, be willing to wear some art work around your neck. Find or make a brilliant piece of jewelry and wear it without waiting for a special occasion. Wear it when washing the dishes or walking the dog. Wear it because it is beautiful and makes you happy and it expresses something about who you are.

I am so glad you are starting to “create” again. I always enjoyed reading your journals and look forward to seeing more. Love the jewelry, by the way! Can’t wait to get home and rummage through old that I have to give to you for Jeni’s creations!

Let me clarify. You haven’t ever stopped creating, just journalizing. I have always found your thoughts that you share in your journal to be uplifting and encouraging, and I’m thrilled you’ve chosen, at least for now, to write.

Alli! First of all…YAY for journaling again!
) I stopped checking your journal because there weren’t posts, but I’m going to check more frequently, now that I see you’re back to it.
Second…I LOVE the necklaces. I wish that I could get into wearing jewelry. I feel like I stopped wearing jewelry when I found out that I couldn’t wear earrings anymore.
Maybe my new goal should be to wear art around my neck. That would be good!
