RAW52 #7 “Lace Patterned Ring”, sterling silver, waxed linen cord.
For this first Ring-a-Week Blog Carnival, 23 participants have agreed to blog simultaneously and answer one question:
“What was your inspiration for participating in RAW?”
There are several reasons that motivated and inspired me to participate:
1. First , it’s my ring addiction. After Ring-a-Day, I couldn’t stop making rings but I was also sick of making them everyday. Once a week seemed reasonable enough and thought I could pull it off.
2. My friends from Ring-a-Day. I didn’t want to loose anyone of them. This way, we would continue to meet online, at least once a week.
3. The chance to meet new people. This proved to be a real treat! From the beginning of Ring-a-Week I met some wonderful artists and I was so impressed by the quality and variety of the work presented each week.
4. Curiosity. Ring-a-Day proved to be quite a journey…who knows what Ring-a-Week might bring!
5. Need to stay focused. It’s easy to get carried away by everyday workload and loose focus. I tend to be very compulsive, so I knew that if I committed to this challenge, there was no way I would get away with less than 52 rings by the end of the year.
6. The freedom to play and try new ideas.
7. ….and of course the fact that Tomi was behind this, which means that it’s going to be a success!
