Challenges...

You know, ever since I started making

jewelry, I never pushed myself very much..

I really thought that the fact I had been

100% self taught was a great challenge

by itself....

I began with simple wrapping...

then tried some more intricate wire wrapping..

and then I was fascinated with metals and fire..

But I never really challenged myself..

I never had the patience or the confidence I 

could make something outside my safety zone.

I never really tried my limits.

.

Don't get me wrong here.

I m really proud of what I have accomplished

so far..

But truth be told..I was afraid of failure.

I hate failing..in anything for that matter.

I have always been someone who 

would only try at anything with

a really low percentage of failure.

It seems I had forgotten that the most

important thing, is trying...

That, the best part is the journey..

And not the destination…

With this pendant, I pushed myself.

It's been on my mind the last few months

but didn't have the guts to try it.

This time I did.

And I made it.

And I enjoyed every minute of this journey.

..the destination was lovely as well ;)
