The luxury of designing jewelry is that it's not seasonal so there's not a huge time demand on new designs. It's much easier to keep the creativity flowing without deadlines and time restraints.
So I try not to put any creative pressure on myself and let it come naturally. Not to mention it's pretty expensive to make jewelry so I currently have tons back up of pieces I'm dying to make!
