The flower pendant was inspired by a Japanese fabric art called Tsumami Kanzashi. If you click the link by my name you will go back to the post where you originally saw it.

I have looked for this beautiful flower and I have been unable to find a flower so pretty. Does this artist sell her work, or tutorials. I would love to learn how to make that pin. In advance thanks casswms Cindy, last year you had a beautiful japanese style flower pin posted on your blog.

I love your idea for going through your own beads and canes for inspiration as well as your collection of other beads! @Faith: Fashion is a great place to look for inspiration! This is especially true if you plan to sell your work. It is always good to have pieces that will go with the current trends! Thanks for your comment! @Debi: That is excellent advice! Magazines are great places to get ideas for your beads. Thanks! @Karrah: Thank you so much for your kind words!

I look at the clothes, jewelry, color of each and the trends in color for the seasons. I keep folders with pages I tear out when something catches my eye.

Or even easier, use google images and just google random things, looking for ideas. Looking at pictures of clothing often helps me come up with things, as I usually make a certain piece to match a certain style or outfit.

They make me feel like I'm really creative and actually inspire me to do something different. I enjoy looking back on canes that I did 3 months ago, and think about what kind of beads those would look good as.. I also love looking through my boxes of non-handmade beads for colors and palettes that would be perfectly complimented by something I could make. And then there's this website.. It never fails that you have a tutorial or a blog on something that I'd be really interested about or inspired by. Thank you for your dedication to this site! I love it.
