Since I am on a roll with plastic bottle caps and preparing for Thanksgiving, I choose to share my acorns. I will have plenty to sprinkle on the dining room table this year.
My second day, I had to come up with something new. I decided to stick with the bottle cap. I love mushroom. I collect them. So with my crochet hook in hand and bottle caps in my pocket away I went with my theme. I won't post my first attempt. It wasn't meeting up to expectation with everyone. The one thing about creating, is you can fail but not beat yourself up about it, because you can always say, hey, it is in the works, I am building up to a masterpiece, I am developing, exploring, drafting. I wish it was like that in other areas of life, but sometimes you don't get second, third and fourth chances.
My last and final day was to come up with a jewelry piece. I could have used a bottle cap, but I wanted to try wire. Talk about hard on the hands, I have blisters on my fingers, but, oh, oh, oh, this makes me want to invest in sterling silver wire. Just beautiful. Before I venture down that alley though, I need to practice, practice, practice.
