Isn't that scrumptious?? But it was a bit harder than I anticipated. I immediately knew I wanted to do another freeform bracelet. I loved the experience with my first one, so I started pulling out colors. Now, Erin never said you needed to use only the colors in the palette, but I really tried hard to stick to that. I had one exception. I had ordered one of the Monday Mixes from Betsy Ramsey over at Red Panda Beads. And one of those was really calling to play with the purple. See?
She has the prettiest ab finish that just sparkles.Wanna see how she well she plays with Frozen Heather?? Lookee!!
There's that pretty topaz hanging on the edge.
And looping around a clear ab crystal.
I ended up with lots of bridges on this one.
I totally realize that this is a busy piece, but it just wouldn't let me stop!
It really wanted to curve over, so I let it!
Check this pretty little toggle. It's a pattern from Grace Nehls in Feb 2011 B&B.
This is the back side, which I thought was pretty as well.This color palette was a challenge, since I was trying to use up stash, and it was a lot harder than I thought to get that blue/green included. I apologize for my pics. When I took them, the colors seemed to show true. Once I'd uploaded them last night, the purples looked a lot more blue! So, those "blue" beads around the edge are really more of a purple color. I had a total blast making this, and working with the awesome Design Seeds color palette! Please go visit them when you have a chance.
Here is the list of the other participants (and their color palettes) in the challenge!
