Brightly Colored

[yourlibrarian]

Wore this one up top to a dentist appointment and the hygienist was enthusiastic about its colorfulness. The pendant on the bottom photo was a bookmark I was given. I don't read in paper for various reasons, and also don't like the kind that pin pages since it damages the books. It was a great color though, so decided to put it into a necklace.

So pretty and bright!

Yeah, I love color, although I have to say my appreciation for the whole spectrum of colors really changed once I started beading.

Working with a lot of colours does make you see them differently.

It does! In the beginning all the beads I selected were in my favorite shades of light blue, yellow and green. However the longer I beaded the more I enjoyed using beads of all colors, including greys and browns. I wanted varieties in not just color but the types of beads. So I ended up making a lot of necklaces I would never have bought but enjoyed wearing because I made them.

Seeing which colours work together is half the fun. Unexpected colour combinations sometimes pop up and you wonder why you never thought of that before...

[yourlibrarian]

It is! Most of my necklaces are simple single strand stringing so it's the color balance and bead combinations that make up most of my time.

And you have a wonderful eye for both.

The colors are nice on both of them and I think the repurposing of the bookmark was a pretty and creative idea. 💡

The top one looks so cool, I love the star beads and the black pendant contrasting the bright colours

Yes, the pendant made me think of the Milky Way ✨ Thanks!

I love the variety of pieces you use, even the clasps are unique!

[yourlibrarian]

Thanks! I do try to vary them based on the design, though you'll see some repetition at some point 😄
