The challenge in question was to make earrings using the 2019 Pantone Color of the Year. I know I've already blogged about this a little bit (here, if you're interested)... As a reminder, though, this year the color is Living Coral:
I was surprised to find that I actually have quite a few beads in this shade. After a bit of debate, these are the ones that I decided to play with:
They are large and acrylic, salvaged from a vintage necklace--and a perfect candidate for this challenge. Because they are so lightweight (and did I mention large?), I decided to just go big and bold and make them the top part of a two-part dangle.
This was the final design:
The other beads are vintage glass. I love the contrast between the coral and the blue, and I love the way that they dangle. While they may not the most complicated construction, I still think they're a lot of fun.
Thanks so much for stopping by to see what I made for this challenge... Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
How lucky that you had those beads in your stash! I would have never considered pairing them with the blue, but it works so well!!
ReplyDeleteBlue and coral play so well together! I don't have much in this color (most of mine were more orange), so it will be a challenge for me to incorporate this color into my work this coming year. I am glad that you were able to play along in the We're all ears challenge! Enjoy the day! Erin
