Finding Beauty in the Seemingly Ugly

October 3, 2008 by Melanie

I’m always impressed by the ability of some to take what at first glance may appear unappealing and bring out its beauty. I suppose that’s one of the things that sets apart a true artist.

Morgan Hamilton describes one such person in an article entitled The Beauty of Jewelry Making & Design.

This expert in the art of bead jewelry making discovered that the key to working with any element was in the harmony and blending of the colors.

With imagination and a lot of patience, you can take something you may want to discard initially and come up with an impressive masterpiece. Yes, YOU can do that!

So , the next time you feel like throwing in the towel on a project, take a break and then go back to the old imagination board with it. When you come up with a stunning work of art send me the before and after pictures and I’ll post them for everyone to see.

Here’s to your next work of art!

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have found so many things that are interesting to the eye but never could figure on what to do with it. I have a friend who introduced me to this wonderful online store that sells interesting cuts and shapes that are not really found in other stores that are in my area. Goto bijouxbeads.com it is a pleasure going through the site and also dealing with the owners.

    Have you ever considered creating an ebook or guest authoring on other sites? I have a blog based on the same ideas you discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my readers would appreciate your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me an email.
