I didn't do all that much today, though of course I planned on it. The Friday curse strikes again! It is hands down the most unproductive day of the week.
What I have been doing is watching lectures from TED conferences online. Have you heard of this? We watched a TED lecture by Mary Roach (one of my favorite authors) in my Human Sexuality class and I was curious about the organization. The slogan is "ideas worth spreading," and it's basically short lectures by experts about what they know. I can't explain it any more than that but they are so interesting!
The one I'm watching now is about marketing ideas in the digital age. What I like best about this is they sound dry by the title but the speakers are both informative and entertaining so it's really enjoyable to watch. Don't take my word for it though, I also love curling up with a good nonfiction book from the science section. I just wanted to tell people about it (though you might already know) because the whole concept is so cool.
While learning about ideas worth spreading, I made some earrings. I used these chunky beads I've been holding onto for a while and got inspired by a half-made pair of earrings lying around in my room.
I made a little wire shape to hang off the bottom of these chunky beads so there could be a moving part on these otherwise heavy-looking earrings. It needed something, but another bead added on would have been overkill.
Aren't the beads so cool? Funky painted polka-dots, awesome!
Love and Beads,
Eve
