Ring # 11 - Sour Apple Sweet Violet
My first attempt at using purple turned out a little on the green side. I started with one of my favorite shades of color-lined seed beads - wisteria. Then I started mixing up a palette, and ended up making a little patch of violets on a bright green background. I wouldn’t exactly say that this is a purple ring, but it does have a hint of it!
I like the energetic combination of wisteria and chartreuse so much, that it inspired today’s Poster Sketch/Treasury collection. To learn more about the artists behind these designs, visit Sweet and Sour.

Mortira,
ReplyDeleteYour ring is absolutely beautiful, I love the little violets!
Thanks for including my ring in your outstanding treasury collection. Great colour combo!
What a wonderful collection! Thank you so much for including our Snow Apple collar. :)
ReplyDeleteI had to smile at your determination to add more purple to your beading repertoire... I am pretty much your polar opposite. The only thing holding my bead collection back from containing twice the purple it does is that so many of the purples I love seem to be dyed, and I've had far too many projects fade away to buy more dyed beads at the moment. The color *I* am trying to work more with is yellow! I hardly ever buy it, and of course bead with it even less often. For a while now I've been making myself buy yellow beads every time I see a color that attracts me, and slowly working it into more pieces...
ReplyDeleteYellow still scares me! but I'm getting there. :)
Yellow is a tough one, too! It's one of those colors that has a hard time looking grown-up. I try to stick to transparent beads when buying yellow - they look the least like crayons.
ReplyDeleteI like all the items from this collection! Thank you so much for including my painting!
