Poster Sketch: Happy Holidays

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!

  5. Just 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!

  9. Thanks to everyone for stopping by to see these amazing pieces! I hope the reds and greens help spread a little cheer!

    Bella: "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!
