On my bead table today is an omnium-gatherum of silvery pearls to be knotted on persimmon colored silk, two-toned seed beads, caution orange cathedral beads, and some milky white Czech druks. Most exciting of all - some incredible star dangle charm chain that we have just recieved, and that I cannot wait to play with. What I will do with all these funky bits and baubles, I have yet to figure out. I like to challenge myself with odd colors and bizarre combinations, and I think that sums up what you see here.
This week I challenged myself to do something festive in feel. The obvious choice would have been black, silver, crystal, rhinestones, etc. but I wanted to try something different. I have always loved the cultured coin pearls we have with their intense colors, fun shape, and unusual texture. Combining the golden bronze pearls with the lustrous peacock had a surprise effect of intensifying the blue tones and downplaying the gold (I thought it would have been the opposite).
