Shades of Green (another Blog Hop day)

All the lovely colors of green..












So much depth, as nature knows - GREEN is a perfect backdrop for all of the other colors.

But equally stunning on it's own.

    I like the color green - it means growth to me; I seem to wear it a lot. I like the concept of beading and then incorporating it with metal also since I just learn to hole punch saw and stamp metal shapes.

    Love your photos! I admit that I need help with greens. I have to be careful with the different shades, and how much I use of it in a piece of jewelry for myself. I do get a lot of help from your blog, thank you.

    So... today I've not just thought "Wow great pictures" I've tried to match the colours from beads in my stash. It's really made me look at each picture. Who would have thought there was so much white in the eighth one and those hints of pink and maroon with the euphorbia. It's an education and an inspiration! Thank you.

    Green is a winter colour, too! Damp moss on a tree trunk, frosty grass in the mornings, dark green holly leaves. As always, nature gives us our best colour palette.
