The circular layers of the bracelet keep a hand-hewn quality while being very controlled with its regular pattern. The contrast comes in with these squiggling little tendrils that add just the spark needed with their shiny red tips. Their grouping and where they are rooted along with their direction and degree of wave\u00a0all vary to add a bit of an unexpectedly festive touch. That just goes to show that not every element in a piece must fit a particular style or theme. A change in style, even within a piece,\u00a0can\u00a0also be valid. As long as it&#8217;s obviously intentional.<\/p>\n<p>If you too are attracted to the unexpected, take some time to tour Klavdija&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/klavdija-s_corner\" target=\"_blank\">Flickr photostream<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"http:\/\/klavdijainsvetnjeneustvarjalnosti.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">her blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inspirational Challenge of the Day: <\/strong>Take an existing piece you&#8217;ve been working on or a design you commonly create and try adding an element or elements in a very different style or theme.\u00a0It should have some connection to the other elements, thematically, visually, or otherwise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\">_________________________________________<\/p>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"likethisblog\">Like this blog?
