Inspiration: Alaskan Crafty


Everyone gets inspired in different ways. I love to browse through other people's work. I never copy anyone's creations. I don't think I could if I tried! But I love to get ideas, that merge with other ideas and take a life of their own.

I have a folder in my bookmarks called "Inspiration" with links to works that really impress me. Now and then I'd like to draw attention to some of these pieces as they are very deserving.

Today, I want to show off AlaskanCrafty's Red Satin and Pearls.

This piece made me pause in my continuous browsing and do a double-take. There is something so glamorously bold about the beads she chose. I love the satin, almost velvety, look of those big red beads and then classy pearls strung along next to it. It's just enough colour to really catch your eye but not overwhelm you.

I've shown this piece to three friends since I found it earlier today and they all gushed over it.

I want see more. Maybe in some dusty blue beads ... or black...

Check out more of AlaskanCrafty's creations. You won't be disappointed.
