When I was digging through my "craftermath" for my late entry for last month's challenge I did find a few beads that I had set aside for earrings that sort of work for this challenge. A while back I had been playing with some Vintaj brass pieces and little pearl dangles. I had started sorting sets of coordinating pearls from a mixed strand but then, as things tend to go, I got distracted and moved on to other projects.
I made use of one of those little sets that were in shades of pinky-purple and blue. The colors aren't perfectly "Rose Quartz" and "Serenity" but I think they're close enough to count! I was originally thinking I might add some paint to the the brass pieces, but I ran out of time and energy. Anyway, less is often more!
so sweet and elegant I love the pretty dangles.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and I can see the inspiration very clearly in your pearls. Perfect for spring!
ReplyDeleteI love these! I think the colors are great. I'm very interested to see what people are doing with the colors of the year. I like pastels, and it will be fun to see how people make these colors look sophisticated, like you've done here.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet, Sarajo! The pastel pearls are perfect for these components.
ReplyDeleteI think you did it! I think painting the brass would be nice, but I like the rich color. I am not a big fan of pastels so it was a hard challenge for me, too. But I am warming up to them (I just don't seem to have much in the way of beads that fit the palette!). Thanks for playing along with me in the We're All Ears challenge on Earrings Everyday. Check back on Feb 5th for our next inspiration! Enjoy the day! Erin
