Inspiration Wednesday - Teal Tones

Design-Seeds - Teal Tones

Okay, yikes. Whatever was I thinking when I picked all teal?
I actually had a difficult time with this color palette. Silly right?
Here is the piece I made:

Porcelain from MarshaNealStudio

Pretty little brass bows are hand wire wrapped to these beautiful handmade porcelain diamonds. 

They look like presents don't they?

Here is the palette I will be working with over the next week:

Inspiration Wednesday - Whisked Tones

Design-Seeds - Whisked Tones

I was inspired to make a necklace this week. It features a Vintaj Natural Brass branch which I wire wrapped a porcelain bird pendant (from Marsha Neal Studios) to. I made the wire wrap messy so it was sort of like branches.

I just love this cute little bird.

then I wire wrapped agates, wood and a glass flower

and bronzite beads finish off the back of the necklace. I just love bronzite.

I had no trouble at all making a necklace and earrings set inspired by this palette. I am SO not a blue girl so I was really worried about it. I try to challenge myself to only pick a color palette from the first page on Design-Seeds.com that way you are seeing the newest color palettes and I am challenged by new and inspiring palettes myself :-)

It's Inspiration Wednesday reveal time!
Above is the palette from which I was inspired to make a necklace and matching bracelet.

The necklace features one of my etched copper pendants and copper links.

Recycled glass beads from HappyMangoBeads.com

Handmade beads from UnicorneBeads.com and SpiritedEarth.etsy.com

The bracelet is a repeat of the beads found in the necklace

and can be worn with or without the necklace.

Happy Wednesday!
It's time for Inspiration Wednesday.
Here is the inspirational palette from Design-Seeds.com

Here is the bracelet I made:

I was lucky enough to attend a bead show last weekend and at one of my favorite booths (twistedsistahbeads.com) they had this glass teardrop tube of beads already mixed in the exact same colors form this weeks inspiration.

The etched copper Bliss focal bar is handmade by me and these multi-strand bracelets are quickly becoming one of my favorite bracelets to make and wear. They make a statement but aren't chunky or heavy to wear. Love them!
