Pretty Palettes - March Reveal

For this week's worktable post, I get to share what I made for this month's Pretty Palettes challenge. Hurray!

The palette in question is a modern combination of blue, grey, black... and yellow. 

I have to admit, I was a little skeptical of the palette at first. I definitely like the color combination, but those shades are not ones that I usually pair together. Still, I dove into the challenge... and, I have to say, I am really really happy with what I made.

Curious? Well, here it is:

Granted, this was not my original plan. I actually began this challenge by working on a single strand color-blocked necklace. But, the more I worked on it, the more I kept feeling the itch to make it into a tassel. And, well, I can't say no to a good tassel design.

You know, I really hope people don't get tired of my big wire-wrapped tassels any time soon--because I don't think I'm going to stop making them!

The central bead is a gorgeous piece of agate--I absolutely love the way that it goes with the palette. The majority of the other beads are Czech glass, with some black-and-grey Network Stone and vintage acrylic black rounds thrown in. 

I went with silver tone metal, both to echo the grey in the palette and because it made the necklace itself feel sleek and modern--just like the color combination itself.

As I said, I really am happy with how this came together. While on the heavier side (that really is a lot of glass), the movement is delightful... And I really do like the way that the colors blend into each other. Not bad, for being so skeptical at the start!

Oh! And, for fun, I made some bonus earrings:

So, ta-da! That's what I made for this month's Pretty Palettes challenge. Thanks so much for stopping by today to see what I've been up to! :)

Have a wonderful day, everyone!
