Green with Envy


I have always drawn to earth tone shades. Green is my favorite color. I probably have more shades of green beads in my stash than any other color. This year with my Beadstar winnings, I decided to purchase books on color theory. Margie Deeb has a fabulous book called "The Beader's Guide to Color". It is a fun and informative read! I laughed last night when I read about the color "green". Margie says "It is the easiest and most restful color to view." No wonder I am always drawn to that color! For more information check out Margie's web site www.MargieDebb.com. She has a great free color column called Margie's Muse.

    A lot of my designs use green too. Hmmm . . . I wonder if that's why the spring issue of Stringing is always my favorite one to design for?
