Inspired Mini Series: Art Journal Inspiration to Jewelry Week 2

Inspired Mini SeriesThis 3 free week series will help you feel inspired and teach you how to get inspiration and express your inspiration through making jewelry.Each week you will receive 2 prompts.  The first is a journal prompt where you can write a list, journal or create an art journal page in any way you like.  You can use paint, crayons, collage or other mixed media, colored pencils or simply words.  I like making lists.  You may want to draw or write a poem.The second weekly prompt will give you ideas to take inspiration from your art journal page and translate it into a piece of jewelry.  I’ll share what I made, but I expect that your piece will be quite different because your response to the art journal prompt will be quite different from mine.Each week is full of inspiration and ideas to express yourself through making jewelry.Find the previous prompts here:
