Familiar Shape, New Colour Scheme

I am back working on a triangular piece at the moment whilst I ponder some recent beading experiments.


I love using black but unfortunately it doesn't always photograph too well- it's hard to show detail- but I couldn't resist a lot of black for this piece.

I very rarely use blue in my work- plain blue that is. I use teal, turquoise, aqua etc but rarely plain old "blue" so I thought I would try it in this piece.

Of course I can't cope with just plain old blue so I set out looking for a colour scheme which would incorporate it along with colours I do actually like!

I returned to an old favourite- the Colour Scheme Designer and chose an "analogic" scheme which gave me this (with a bit of tweeking of the boundaries from me of course)

I really liked the scheme and began this bangle back in December but when I returned to it today I felt there was something missing- typical me!

So, back to the scheme designer and this time I chose an "Accented Analogic" scheme and got this. I love the addition of the orange/ ywllow/ mustard (or gold which is what I will mainly use) and began using it right away.

Onye 5

I'm busy working away on my 5th version of my Onye design.
This one uses some light mint green vintage buttons I was given and I have teamed them with some gold and turquoise seed beads.

Colour Of The Year

Pantone have chosen turquoise as their colour of the year- which is great for me as I love it!
My first item using it in 2010 are these simple wirework and mixed bead earrings.
