Sand as inspiration

Recently I visited South Wold for a few hours and took some great photos of the sand there.
I have to bead a project for the next issue of Bead magazine and thought that using some beads inspired by the sand would look nice.

Here is the main photo of the sand


Here's a closer photo of the sand


Here is a palette I created for using the photo


Color by COLOURlovers

Here are some of the beads I'l be using in my work, obviously I'll be using a lot more of one tube than the others!
