Color Challenge

My friend Brandi at Brandi Girl Blog issued a color challenge a while back. Click HERE for the specific post. I should have thought to post this earlier, but there's still time to enter. It's open through July 10.

I used seed beads and a simple herringbone weave to create my entries for the challenge. The first bracelet I made followed color palette #2 from Brandi's choices. Admittedly not a color combination I would have chosen on my own, while I worked on the piece I grew to love it!








Next, I chose color palette # 5. This one turned out too red/white/blue looking and I chose not to submit it for the challenge, hence no photos.

Lastly, I tackled color palette #1, which I like to call Mixed Lettuce.


This one, I love!!

Both are lovely but I'm with you - I really like the green one.

These are gorgeous, Miss Vicki!! It's hard to choose, but I really love the tones of the first one.

They are both very nice. The mixed lettuce is my fave.

I am endlessly fascinated by you beaders and your ability to manipulate those little bits of glass into such cohesive and lovely designs. These are just beautiful, Vicki!

So elegant! They are both beautiful, and I think the clean lines of the beadwork really let the colours be the star. Perfect!
