Okay, so I'm a little late on this one. It's fall now, isn't it? Hmmmm....that went quick!
So the challenge was to create a piece for fall using Pantone's color forecast. The choices were so hard to make. I, of course, settled on Chocolate Truffle...loaded with rich plums and accented with bright apple green, lush black and dusty charcoal.
These are the components I chose for my piece:
I envisioned a modernized charm necklace loaded with these rich plum tube lampswork beads. Looks like candy, eh? For the accents, I chose these rich copper Swarovski crystals......
these bright olivine and midnight black fire polish glass beads and some warm copper beads and bead caps to tie the charms in with the chain.
Now...the only problem I'm hitting is time! I am hoping to find time to work on this piece over the weekend as preparing my shop for the holiday season has been keeping me pretty busy for, I don't know, say 10 hours a day :)
If all goes as planned, you will see the completed piece by next weekend!
