Where to Get Beading Ideas?

It is a disappointment for most designers and any creative person when they run out of ideas for their projects. I'm sure we're all familiar with the term'writer's block', implying a writer will find it hard to consider something new to write or to complete off something that they are already writing.

Well for beaders out there we have what we call 'beader's block' also. This happens when for some reason you simply can't think of a new idea or design for your beadwork or you don't have any clue as to the easiest way to finish a pattern that you have already started. Let's attempt to look at some things we can do to help get over this.

A neat place to start is understanding where you currently are. What are the things and materials that you already have at your disposal? What types and colors of beads are in your drawers and containers? Occasionally the straightforward act of looking at these beads will get your creativity flowing.

Therapists say that mind block is common when you're in an environment of disarray and misunderstanding so naturally the first way to attempt to combat this is to keep yourself organized. The brain is a powerful organ and extraordinarily capable of multi-tasking so you might not even notice it coming up with new ideas while you are in the act of organizing.

All this fixing and shelving of your materials will get you beat at the end of it so it's good to find a little time off for yourself. When your brain is tired you will not get to do much and it'll feel a bit like you are overworking it. Resting is also a good time to allow your brain to process the ideas that it developed in the organizing exercise.

How does one sometimes spend your relaxation time? Do you read, visit a buddy, or walk around? Give your intellect some time off from the whole beading activity and let it wander on to other subjects. When you get back to brooding about beads your brain will be very refreshed and freed from old, tired ideas.

When you believe you are rested enough, look through some old material about beading. Do you have mags and books lying around? Or perhaps you can look through some web sites on the web, try finding jewelry making patterns. The rest period you had before this will enable you to have a look at these with a new eye and viewpoint regardless of how old the magazine or book is. Still try to keep that atmosphere of relaxation by cozying up on a chair or drinking your favorite relaxing beverage.

Don't try and scrutinise each design you see. Just let your brain call out to you when it sees something that sparks your interest. Appreciate the designs rather than trying to analyse them. Ultimately, visit some craft stores and other stores where art abounds. Art isn't constricted to a single sort of form so even those that are not related to beading might give you that idea that you need.

When you're ready to start thinking about ideas again, sit down and write down all the new ideas that are sure to be flowing in your head by this point. Don't be afraid to try anything at this stage.
