Edinburgh jeweller

'Do what you can with what you have where you are' is one of my favourite sayings. I don't always live it though! I often think, oh I need some more supplies to work on that jewellery project so I'll have to wait. So I won't be creative that day. But when I do take the time to look at what I have and play around with it I find that I make something different, have a new idea.  I was very inspired by  Phil Hansen 's TED talk which you can view below. He is an artist who developed a tremor in his hand while in art school. He was devastated and felt that this meant that he couldn't become an artist. After a long time coming to terms with this he decided to 'embrace the shake' and focus on what he could do. And the art that he continues to create  by giving himself limits is just amazing.  The talk is just ten minutes long and could give you a new perspective on creativity so have a look. 

We are lucky to live in a house that has a spare room (albeit a single room). We currently use it as a study and spend most of our time in here. At the moment, though, we only have one desk and chair. I tend to sit on the sofa that we moved up here from our living room. I'd like to change the room around. I have actually thought about changing the house around given that we spend the majority of our waking time in the smallest room we have! I have thought of making the living room a study/art room instead. It's a much larger room. So there are decisions to be made! I've been looking at some inspiring ideas for arts and crafting rooms and have been adding them to pinterest  (I love pinterest!). Here is my art room inspiration pinterest board. I'll let you know what we decide to do and post some photos!
