Lately I have been asking myself why it is I love to be creative. I have been asking myself questions surrounding this subject in order to better understand my passion and as a way to grow. As I reflect on the work I have done in the 5 years I have been designing and making jewelry; I take note of the how much my designs and products change along with the changes I go through mentally, physically and spiritually.
As I continue to refine the mechanistic aspects of jewelry design and production, I find it difficult to maintain the level of creativity I would like to. I constantly have ideas floating through my head but I am hyper focused on improving the more technical aspects of the production. In the midst of this quandary is where I find myself asking the most questions.
Hence, the Prolific Ring. When I find myself not making the level of progress I would like to on the more technical aspects of my craft, I tend to think about the countless people in my life that inspire me. From my family to artists that I draw direct inspiration from, everybody I look up to has found themselves in moments of despair and disappointment.
It is clear to me that everybody in my life that I look up to has persevered through those moments because they lived to be Prolific. When I think of the word Prolific, I associate it with words like productive, creative, and inventive. This is exactly why I do what I do, and I will continue to do this because the only cure I have ever found to stress, is to be productive, creative, and inventive.
