Sketching

Sketching is an important part of my jewelry design process.  I don't always make the items I doodle but it often sparks other ideas - and it gives me something to flip through when the ideas aren't flowing.

If I come up with a successful design that I might want to use in the future I will sketch it out and write notes.  

Strangely enough I get some of my best ideas in the bathroom. ( I won't elaborate more than that... it's probably TMI now!)  So I have a sketch pad in the bathroom, one in my work bag, one in my travel kit and a couple hanging out in the studio.

When I go on my trip I'll have a couple ready.  (can't wait! can't wait!)
