Many of my fellow artists have picked a word or a phrase to inspire them or to focus on for the coming year. I've been introspective lately too thinking about where and what I really want to do. There are alot of changes going on in my house and it's time to re-think.
I need to keep things simple. So in the spirit of KISS, I have chosen one single word 2011. One I will bring myself back to when I start to get sidetracked.
Do.
Don't surf the web looking for inspiration (or a use it as a way to avoid actually doing something).
Do.
Make something.
Keep forging ahead in your new designs.
Make it rather than think it.
Do.
An outgrowth of the red lotus pods, I made this heart with the same set of wormhole like texture and shabby chic look. I embedded Vintaj colored 20 gauge wire for the loop. I love hearts and have collected them on and off for years. I have to say I'm at a loss though with what to title it. Any ideas?
Have you chosen a word for the year?

I LOVE this heart!! Pink but not too pink, the patina brings the cutness factor down a notch but it's still very pretty, and the uneven texture is very cool. Good stuff!!
Cindy that is just beaitiful! And your pods Im in Love!!
I think "DO" is a great word for this year. Doing is the only way to make it happen. I have chosen "explore" as my word for this year. So far it has been a good choice for me.
DO.
What a simple and stunning word choice. I chose FOCUS for much the same reasons. I need to stay on track and realize that my rabbit holing is keeping me from getting where I want to be.
And that heart is dynamite.
How about...

Enjoy the day!

Cindy,
Your new design is wonderful! I see a lot of dimension and meaning to this piece. As for a title, I would choose "Heartfelt Desire". I think your word KISS is a great way to begin a new year. Keeping things a bit more simple, and not sweating the small stuff is very much needed in my life as well.
' love your work!
Best wishes is 2011.

Oh my gosh... I LOVE that heart! Do you have it listed for sale? I want it!! :-)
PS: I got so excited about that heart I forgot to tell you my word for 2011. It's Learn. :-)
I may have to adopt your word since I hadn't picked my own and yours is so perfect :)
I can't think of a word for it. But it is beautiful.
My word for the year is going to be Celebrate. I will celebrate everything I complete, Everything I don't worry about, everytime I'm tempted to be bad but choose to be better.
Woohoo!!
As for your heart: Hearts and Flowers??
I love your word. Simple and to the point.
Hmmm...What about Untamed?
Bead Happy!

Thank you for the kind words about the heart! When inspiration hits, it seems there's a flood of designs that come out!
I love the words you all have chosen for the year. Each one suits where we all are right now on our paths.
Explore.
Focus.
Celebrate.
Together, I think they make a poem a mantra to keep up creating.
thanks for commenting!
Cindy
