Well, phew, I made it! And here it is, the final project of March.<\/p>\n

\"braided<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s a cuff bracelet braided and woven of 20 gauge jeweler’s bronze wire.<\/p>\n

(Click on any of the pics for a closer look.)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"braided<\/a><\/p>\n

Woven in are a floral finding and a few 4mm Swarovski crystals.<\/p>\n

\"braided<\/a><\/p>\n

Those wire coils on the end loops were first coiled on the\u00a0Coiling Gizmo<\/span><\/span><\/a>\"\", then \u00a0slid onto the wires when needed. This is a much faster, easier and neater way of doing it rather then trying to wrap each individual coil onto the loops.<\/p>\n

I \u00a0love the way a hard material like wire can have such an organic and flowing look.<\/p>\n

My newer readers may not realize what I’ve been doing this past month. At the beginning of March I challenged myself to take the time to do something creative and blog about it every weekday in March.<\/p>\n

So, what did I learn from this challenge?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. There IS time to do the things you set your mind to do. (Just gotta get off the stinkin’ computer more, lol.)<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Making a commitment to others is great incentive for FINDING that time.<\/li>\n
  3. Blogging about it makes a project take many times longer than just the creating of it.<\/li>\n
  4. You never know whether a project is going to be a success until you dive in and try.<\/li>\n
  5. Often the failures are the roots of future successes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    None of this was stuff I didn’t know already, but what I’d hoped would happen did. I get into the habit of breaking free of the inertia that kept me reading about, watching about & planning about new projects and got to WORKING on them.<\/p>\n

    Was the challenge worthwhile? Absolutely. Am I going to continue it into April? Sorry, but no, it was too time consuming. Hopefully, though, as a result of getting my butt into gear, you’ll be seeing lots more productivity in the coming months. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

    What challenges do you face in the work you do? \u00a0What have you found to be ways to overcome them?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
