The combination of red and green is such a large part of holiday themes, that it can be difficult to pair the two without having your project look like a Christmas tree. Although holly berries aren’t the only red and green thing in the universe, we sometimes can’t help seeing them whenever the two colors are used together.
The strength of red and green as a holiday palette makes creating summery roses a bit of a challenge, but it makes creating a Christmas project really easy! This week’s Poster Sketch is red and green all over.
Happy Holidays, and Merry Christmas, to all of my fellow beaders, jewelry makers and artists!

This is a great collection - thanks for including one of my beaded bon bon pendants! I also love your blog :)
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and I love it! If I may take a guess at this month's theme...I think it's green. I don't know if anyone has already won or not, if they have, oh well, at least I got to play!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous beadwork. I'm addicted to beadweaving. So much fun! Thank you for sharing!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection! Thank you so much for including the peppermint deer necklace :))
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for stopping by to see these amazing pieces! I hope the reds and greens help spread a little cheer!
ReplyDeleteBella: "Green" is a great guess! You're on the right track, but the theme is just a little more broad. I hope you'll wager another guess!
Merry Christmas everyone!
