So I put together the pieces to go onto the background I'd already made, and it looks lovely on its own.
Everyone was saying they should be wearable 'that'd make such a lovely brooch', and 'you could make an amazing collection of pendants and earrings with those ideas too!'.
The thing is, I know. But there's no time. I found what I wanted to do and what made me happy about a year later than hoped and now I've run out of time. It makes me so annoyed to think about all the things I could have made and where I could be right now if I'd had these ideas last year.
Don't make jewellery they said, don't force it into wearables they said. And now I'm going to take my collection to New Designers, and I'm going to look like someone who didn't use their initiative. Whereas actually I've got ideas for jewellery and clothing and accessories, all on top of wanting to continue making the decorative compositions that these ideas came from.
