Pretty Palettes May Reveal

Image
Pretty Palettes May Reveal Time for the "Pretty Palettes" reveal!  Erin Prais-Hint z color palette for the month of May was inspired by this beautiful Scandinavian fabric design with a fun mix of neutrals and a pop of reddish-orange. It is from a company called Almedahls that was produced originally in the 1950s. I think my biggest challenge as a designer is mixing colors.  When I create a design for "Pretty Palettes" I am inspired by the the colors of the palette, not the actual photo.  Personally I do not look at photo and think "modern, romantic, etc" for me it is all about the color.  I know I can create any style of jewelry.  I would rather flex my color muscles.  This was a challenging palette for me.  I have to admit, the first necklace I created made me cringe (and it is not pictured).  So I went to my bead stash grabbing black and orange hued beads with gold chain.  Below is my design...

Pretty Palettes Reveal - April

Pretty Palettes April Reveal Time for the "Pretty Palettes" reveal!  Erin Prais-Hintz color palette for the month of April was inspired by Design Seeds "Lavender Field". The rich jewel tones captured in this lovely lavender field are absolutely breathtaking.  The color palette is amazing this month. My bead selection consisted of ceramic blue, shell bright green, stone green and a purple mixed dyed quartzite. Here is my inspired jewelry design.  I decided to use a gold tone chain because I wanted a warmer look. Some of my beads have larger holes so I used a crimp bead so the head pin would not slide off.
