I went a little crazy with palettes and patterns and plan to make more jewelry using different color combinations. I did have trouble finding good color names to build from, but still had a great time. Thank you for your great inspirational blog and example.

And the style of the necklace also have that autumn feel not just in colour but also in the shape of the beads.<br /><br />Time really likes to mess with creative challenges like this, doesn't it? I can't really blame it on being preoccupied as much as being an incurable procrastinator (even procrastinating blog hopping...) and sometimes falling into a creative slump, but in the end the problem is the same, a lack of a very important component in the creative process called time. To make it worse, my forte is seed beads and working with needle n thread -- and you can't just whip something together in an hour using such slow techniques. Otherwise I can find that a lack of time can be beneficial too when you just have to throw something together and it turns out that the things you instinctively grab turn into something rather good. It keep one from over-thinking a design at least and/or help you stop dilly-dallying and just make a decision about details you get stuck on. But, yeah, it works best if you're good at stringing etc and working with striking beads rather than seeds (which are more like pixels you have to piece together in order to make them interesting while focals and other beads have more of a design in themselves to build on so to speak).Manekihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13362626785474144154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-31433845558069687192013-12-03T10:22:38.759-06:002013-12-03T10:22:38.759-06:00Playing with color is such fun, and even more so w...Playing with color is such fun, and even more so with names like "Red Red Wine"! I hadn't considered using the names to help build a palette - fun. :)<br /><br />Your necklace - is it a photograph or is it a sketch, or is it a combination of the two? I couldn't tell, but I really like the effect.

I get their email newsletters and it's like a splash of color inspiration in amongst all the junk mail - wonderful!!!<br /><br />Very cool seeing what everyone is inspired by and a nice reminder that sometimes it is great to do a bit of inspirational research to get the creative juices flowing right before you sit and design. <br /><br />Thanks for the shout out for the pendant - your work is SO beautiful!<br />:)Marsha of Marsha Neal Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15326184577849290068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-91642096299003840302013-12-02T19:02:58.258-06:002013-12-02T19:02:58.258-06:00It is so fun to see the palettes people have creat...It is so fun to see the palettes people have created and then the pieces they create from the palettes!

While I had a bit of trouble with this one, I had fun playing with the palettes and plan to revisit them again.<br /><br />(And one of these days, my palettes will come full circle. I never could get them to do that.)<br /><br />Your necklace is amazing! I love how you used the rizo beads. They go so well with the pearls.

I have enjoyed making palettes and patterns, why you could design a whole wardrobe using this site, accessorizing with the colors from y9ur palettes. Great fun once again. <br />I do love the muted tones in your palette. I find myself being more monochromatic and need to learn to get that wild card in there. Great necklace of course.
