150 Creative Themes

This list of prompts was originally intended as writing themes for poems and short stories. One night, I was thinking about how such things could cross over into jewelry-making as well, or really, for any creative craft. I decided to challenge myself to make a piece of jewelry for each prompt on this list over the course of next year. I welcome you, as an artist or artisan, to join me in this challenge.
