Turquoise and coral red, hands down! thank you for this wonderful giveaway! :D
ReplyDeletefor the bead soup... purple and orange, probably used the north light bead soup? Again thank you for this wonderful giveaway! :D
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color combo right this minute is teal and deep purple. And I want Eye for Color super badly.
ReplyDeletewell, I think the 6th photo is the necklace that was inspired by olives.
ReplyDeleteIf you count your picture at the top, that would make 6 the fantastic copper piece inspired by the photo of copper pots.
Dear friend, Thank you so much for your sweet words on my blog. I miss you too, specially our honeymoon time kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteThe answer the question is for pic 6 you've used olive kind of colors and related to them. You know I'm alergic to that, but guess a neckless won't hurt me ;-). I'm into the colors of Sandy Beach right not, just because I'd love to stroll along one with you and gather great sandy things. Have a great time in Hampton. Hugs for the boys when you're away. XXX
Favorite color combo today... purple and green
ReplyDeleteFavorite combo of the day is creamy yellow, rose and soft green. Not quite my usual favorite, but today it's wonderful. Tomorrow it may different -- I'm starting to feel tropical.
ReplyDeleteAnd your color inspiration for the sixth photo, which would be Sunrise Mosaic the way I read it, was sunrise in Gig Harbor.
Enjoy Art & Soul!
Theresa

ReplyDeleteYour inspiration came from that beautiful sunrise by the mountain!

ReplyDeleteFor the beadsoup I would say bronze - not olive.

ReplyDelete~XO*
My favorite color combination is analogous Red-violet to blue-green. Your inspiration is a sunset
ReplyDeleteHistorically I'm into blues and greys. Lately I've been working with a surprising amount of pink, purple and yellow.
ReplyDeleteYour inspiration seemed to be sunrise in paradise:) Lovely piece!
ReplyDeleteHello from Denmark,
ReplyDeleteMy favorite colors are cobalt blue, turquise and green. Hope to have a chance to win this wonderful giveaway. Thank you so much for offering it.
I like indigo blue/teal and brass or copper combo. And the 6th neckpiece was inspired by olives and pickles, and, maybe, seaweed.
ReplyDeleteRight now I’m in an agitated fierce positive spiritual mood. My favorite color combinations is yellow, orange, pink, red and violet.
ReplyDeleteYour color inspiration for the necklace in the 6th photo was “Molten lava flowing out of an undersea volcano extinguishing life on tropical islands, like Hunga Ha 'apai. Yet from the devastation, new life emerges in a never-ending cycle.”
It looks like you were inspired by olives.
ReplyDeletemy favorite colour combo at the moment is turquoise mixed with silver and white for a summery beadmix
hey bev! i was wondering if you might have lost an earring on vendor night. i found one on one of the loading carts that we all used to carry these in - it is little seed beads with green color tones. just sort of reminded me of your work, so thought i'd check.

I'm confooozed! Apparently I don't know how to count to six - zig zag from the top right (sunset), only those with beads in them (olive branch), down one side and then up the other in a U (oceanic volcano). Whichever way, they're all delicious! ;o) Great interview article too.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite colour combination today is deep purple and red, with dark bright turquoise and a touch of orange. A bit clashy I know but it's working for me.
Mostly I just wanted to say that I hope you've had a great time at Art & Soul and I look forward to your return...
I would say that you beautiful necklace was inspired by the majestic colors in a sunset. Lovely, lovely necklace by the way!!!
