Thank you for the amazing response to the last few Bags of Color - per many requests, I've added more!

New Bag of Color!

Bag of Color #13 includes large handfuls of gems and tubes of seed beads that can be used separately or mixed together to make a Wander with Color necklace, a Cornucopia of Gems neckpiece (full Cornucopia kit included) as well as some earrings or a bracelet to match!

My Inspiration:

Lilacs are blooming everywhere in my garden, their heady scent spilling into neighboring gardens and along a path at the side of our property.

For my latest Bag of Color I drew inspiration from one of my new lilac bushes (1 of 8 varieties I bought at the Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens in Woodland, WA on my way home from a Portland Bead Society meeting last year) called 'President Grevy'. It's blossoms start out violet and turn a lovely blue-violet as they open. This photo was taken when some of the older blossoms had started to fade, their edges tinged with copper.

How can I resist falling back on the yummy combo of purples and greens? My new Bag of Color stirs in some blue-violet with a dash of copper for a stunning palette that jazzes up an already lovely mix!

Valentine's Day is just a few days away!

As lovely as it would be to find a dozen red roses on my doorstep, or a fancy package tied up with gilded ribbon... sometimes I need to nudge my hubby along - give him a little hint.

P.S. Sometimes I even need to buy it, then hand it to him to wrap...

P.P.S. Sometimes he actually never knows about it...

However your Valentine comes, I hope it is full of Color!

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.
