    Earlier this year I found myself in a creative slump. I was cleaning
    my studio when I looked into my "parts" box, where I put the
    remnants of unsuccessful projects, and parts I'd accidently made one
    too many of. 

    I was able to see these things with a fresh point of view, and I
    started putting them together with stones and other pieces in ways
    I'd never thought of at the time. I salvaged several new pieces from
    the rejected parts, and shook myself out of the creative doldrums. 

    Sometimes a failure is only a failure at the time, and parts, at
    least, can be salvaged later.
