KISS Method for Designing Beaded Jewelry

Sometimes when I'm running design ideas through my head I realize that trying too hard will really hurt your desire to design anything... not exactly a revelation, but it hit hard this past week when I was trying very hard to think up some Christmas designs and well, summer things came popping out at me. Needless to say, I'm going to be employing the KISS(Keep It Simple Stupid) method more often. Take these new earrings I posted, in which I have a GREAT necklace to post with this coming week, they are a very simple design. But I can take that design and make it classic with black, white and clear beads, or I can make it bling with metallic beads or I can make it Christmas with red and green crystals.

See how easy it is to KISS...
