The Pretty Palettes inspiration on the Halcraft blog this month is a wonderful palette with blues and greens (my faves) with a touch of gold. The inspiration is a beautiful piece of marbled paper.
Here's the palette generated from the paper:
I headed to our local Michaels, where all the strung beads were 40% off! Woohoo! Plus, I had a coupon!
Here's what I came home with~
I was going with more of the beads that Molly chose, but then I saw the turquoise dyed imperial jasper and it looked to me just like the swirly designs on the paper. Plus, it was turquoise, and it looked like the ocean. Can't beat that!
After I got home, I noticed some of my selections at Michaels were Bead Landing beads and not Bead Gallery. And, somehow I missed that white was one of the colors! Entranced by pretty, shiny things, no doubt!
Here's the necklace and earrings that I created:
I love how this worked up with the slabs and rounds of imperial jasper with the gold bicones. And, I have extra beads that are calling me! I was really inspired by the marbled paper, too, and can't wait to try that. So many ideas, so little time! Thanks for the inspiration, Molly!

ReplyDeleteSo, so pretty, Terry! I love the beads you chose! The matte gold bicones are some of my all time favorites! I always grab a strand when I see them in Michaels, whether I need them or not! The rounds tuck right into the hoops of the earrings, too! Thank you so much for participating! I just posted the December Pretty Palettes! I hope you play along! It's a pretty one!
