If you’re not familiar with the contest, you can check out some of the past entries at Land of Odds. Entering an ugly necklace design also involves writing a poem to go with it, adding a little extra challenge and fun to the process. Since I used UnFinishedObjects to create my 2012 entry, I wrote a poem about the rush to make new things and avoid all that extra stuff that comes with beading, like picking out stitches on failed experiments. I think a lot of beaders can relate!
Procrastination
Tick Tock
The end of another day comes
and there are still
ten ideas
ten projects
ten attempts to be made
Tick Tock
The clock says
It's time to clean up
put things away
and frog that mess you made
But the beads say
Start something new
Tick Tock
Tomorrow there will be time
to fix and fuss and undo
Today is for
that pattern
those beads
that necklace
Oh
And that new stitch
Tick Tock
Just run a string through that mess
and call it a day
