Where to Get Beading Ideas? by Gary Capps
It is a disappointment for most designers and any creative person when they run out of concepts for their projects. I am sure we're all acquainted with the term'writer's block', implying a writer will find it hard to consider something new to scribble or to finish off something that they are writing.
Well for beaders out there we have what we call 'beader's block' as well. This occurs when for some reason you simply can't think about a new idea or design for your beadwork or you have no clue as to how to finish a pattern that you have just started. Let's try to look at some things we can do to help get over this.
A handy place to start is working out 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 easy act of looking at these beads is enough to get your creativity flowing.
Therapists say that mind block is common when you are in an environment of disarray and confusion so naturally the primary way to attempt to combat this is to keep yourself organized. The brain is a dynamic organ and very capable of multi-tasking so you may 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 tired at the end of it so it's good to find a little time off for yourself. When your brain is tired you won't 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 do you usually spend your relaxation time? Do you read, visit a mate, or walk around? Give your mind some time off from the whole beading activity and let it ramble on to other topics. When you get back to pondering beads your grey matter will be very refreshed and free of old, tired ideas.
When you think you are rested enough, look through some old material about beading. Have you got magazines and books lying around? Or maybe you can look through some websites on the internet. The rest period you had prior to this will enable you to take a look at these with a new eye and perspective no matter how old the mag or book is. Still try to keep that atmosphere of relaxation by cozying up on a chair or drinking your favourite relaxing beverage.
Don't try and scrutinize each design you see. Just let your brain call out to you when it sees something that ignites your interest. Appreciate the designs instead of trying to analyse them. Eventually, visit a few craft stores and other stores where art abounds. Art is not constricted to a single sort of form so even those that aren't related to beading might give you that idea that you need.
When you're prepared to start thinking of ideas again, sit down and write down all the new ideas that are bound to be flowing in your head by this time. Don't be scared to try anything at this stage.
