Hi
I have completed a turquoise necklace (have called it Summer) as a gift to my Latvian friend-relative. I used the main colors- turquoise and brown and a secondary colour a bit of a hint of red and yellow. I bead embroidered around the focal beads. I took the inspiration from Beadwork magazine older beadwork issue. It has been fun.
I have used or destashed: turquoise round big beads (they have been in my stash for three years (not quite my colour), brown seed beads (in my stash for a long time- three years too).
Happy beading and getting ispiration from magazines be it old or new.

What a beautiful color combination! Very pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this! The colour combination is so nice with those tiny seeds as a contrast. I really like your designs, you have your own style. Even in this case when your inspiration came from Beadwork. I too love to use books and magazines for inspiration, and to see all kinds of new things that are a available...at least in USA. I seldom make anything exactly like it is in books and magazines. It is like visiting an exhibition and getting a lot of inspiration for my own creations. I'm sure your relative will love this unique piece of jewellery.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, yes I made a present, I think was delighted, at least she enjoys turquoise- so that is a great addition to this wonderful lady's box and as a memory of our visit. Thanks gain for the compliments :)
