Inspiration: Spectacular Sunsets

There are some sunsets that are brilliant and fiery--reds and purples swirling amongst the clouds, like phoenixes dancing in the sky.


And then there are others that are lighter, more ethereal... mixtures of white and blue and shades of pink.


It was these latter sunsets, these plays of light and clouds, that were so prevalent while on vacation.

And it is this gentle color combination that I have used to create two pairs of hairsticks, two variations on the same theme.  

The first design has a focal bead that is white, flecked with pink and sky-shade blue:



The second pair is more subtle.  It has a cloud-colored focal bead and an accent bead the same color as the focal from the previous design:




Together, I think both of these pairs of hairsticks pay tribute to the beauty of the setting sun.
