Featured Brand of the Month: Miyuki - Week Two

Last week we talked about the various finishes offered by Miyuki.  This week I want to focus on their gorgeous array of colors. With such a spectrum to choose from it can be hard to pick a favorite.  However, when making a project, the thing you desire most is choice.  Many of the Miyuki colors come in various finishes to provide you with many options for your projects.  I would recommend that you look to their color mixes for inspiration.  They can help to guide your designs if you are stuck on choosing just the right colors.

Above is a wonderful example using the Miyuki Delicas Blue Tones mix.  Megan has bead woven a strip of peyote around a wide channel bangle.  This Wide Beaded Bangle requires no guess work or color matching.  Miyuki has done all the work for you by designing perfect mixes of complementary colors.  The Bountiful Garden Necklace showcases another way to use one of the Miyuki color mixes.   Let the colors inspire you as a jumping off point for your designs.


Designer Picks


Megan

It won't surprise many people that my favorite Miyuki color is a bright, colorful, hot pink.  Galvanized Bright Pink, to be specific.  I love this particular shade of pink, and the metallic finish makes it super shiny and intense.  These little beauties really make your bead weaving stand out, and if you use them as an accent, they sure do pop!

It might just be that I have Summer on the brain but my favorite color is Lime Lined Crystal Green.  What I love most about this particular lime is the rich color saturation it gives the beads.  For a really powerful combination try accenting with the Magenta Lined Pale Blue.

My favorite Miyuki seed bead color is Matte Metallic Silver. I think the matte finish looks really pretty paired with the metallic silver, giving the bead an almost metal-like appearance which I love. This neutral shade works well when mixed with other colors as well, giving it a very versatile appeal.
