Anyone who creates, whether it be crafts, writing, dancing, songwriting, etc. has had many days when the creative juices don't flow. It goes with the territory.
When I am creatively blocked, I will start a piece of jewelry and find that I don't like the color combination or the pattern or style. I'll take it apart and start over, usually repeating the same frustration. After several attempts, I will stop what I'm doing and look through bracelets or necklaces that haven't sold or pieces that I really don't like and I'll take them apart, bead by bead. When I tell people that, they are often horrified but I have to say it is so relaxing to sort beads!
The important thing is to step away from the project, go do something else and come back on another day. Or, I can often go to a project that I've started (I have several of those) and work on that. The necklace featured here took months to make because it was one that I would pick up when my creativity was blocked.
