    And it doesn't come out of thin air, either. If you have trouble
    designing or find yourself running out of ideas, it's Back To Nature
    for a refresher course. The garden, the seashore, the desert...are
    infinite sources of inspiration. Find something out there that
    appeals to you. You now have a base from which to work. The challenge
    will be translating it into a wearable and decorative object. Two
    things you never want to hear: "Beautiful craftsmanship....but it's
    ugly." and "Lovely design, but it isn't going to hold together."
