Inspiration Wednesday

Design-Seeds

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 :-)

Here is the palette for next week:

Design-Seeds - Whisked Tones

Here are a few items from the Hudson Valley Etsy Team for inspiration:

Make an item or choose materials inspired by the palette and write a blog post about it, post the item for sale, or post the item on your website. Add the link to your blog post, shop or website in the comments next week.

The only rule is that if you use the Design-Seeds palette you must link directly to Design-Seeds.com.

Have fun and I can't wait to see what you make!

I loved this color palette and the inspiration photograph, yum!
I was away for the weekend and packed up a small beading kit to take with me. As I sat on the deck overlooking the beautiful mountains of Upstate NY I created this necklace:

I used tiny barbell shaped glass beads to make the back part of the necklace for the front of the necklace I hand wire wrapped clear and gold fleck vintage lucite beads, glass fire polished beads and a handmade porcelain pendant which I hand wire wrapped to a Vintaj natural brass donut. I wire wrapped a couple glass flowers near the hook clasp for some movement.
