A different creative activity in general could help refuel the idea flow, too. I'm not sure if you're a doodler, but sometimes if I work on a simple sketch, like a mandala, it's enough to spark my creativity or motivation in other areas (like that pile of paperwork over there... grumble...). Here's a good video on how to draw mandalas: http://www.premaspace.com/mandalas/<br /><br />On the suggestions of things to create: how about a hairpiece that could serve as an alternative for a wedding veil? I'm thinking something similar to the drop back necklace, with a couple small flowers or medalions to be clipped into the hair near the ears, another larger piece to be clipped into the back center of the hair, and chains, pearls or crystals, and maybe a few scattered, very small & lightweight lace pieces, all draping down the back of the hair. It could be a great choice for brides who want to dress up their hair in a unique way, but don't want a circlet running across their forehead. You could, of course, make variations of this design that turn into a circlet as well, or design a way to clip the hair drape to a mask for added drama. :) If that's a confusing description, I could sketch something up for you.Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598922519364618116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6751285215938850138.post-74462991971756523362012-06-05T20:51:17.400-07:002012-06-05T20:51:17.400-07:00The mask looks great!

I can't even fathom what it will look like when you get the feeling that it's done! <br /><br />As an aside, if you do walks with the kids, why not visit local parks and bring along some paper, glue, and tatting. The kids can make collages as you draw inspiration from a different setting... You can even "assign" what they should find or even print out a local bird or nature list and have them look for everything on their list then make a collage OR just have a little 'bingo' competition to complete their list. With the lists added, it turns educational as well as being fun and you still get a change of scenery that just might spark a flame within you... Maybe?<br /><br />♥,<br />Stephanie GraceStephanie Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18081500547900197691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6751285215938850138.post-68115050090055327032012-06-05T12:13:30.917-07:002012-06-05T12:13:30.917-07:00If you're still looking for suggestions how ab...If you're still looking for suggestions how about a slave bracelet using your lace maille motif?
