Color Inspiration - Rosa Rubrifolia


I was afraid the loss of so much of my work would shut down my desire to bead. However a dear friend came over the other day armed with her projects and told me to get the coffee brewing and just get started.

Using palettes in my upcoming Eye For Color Inspiration book, I dove in... and can't stop!

I just have to share one piece with you, and how it fits into my book.

When it Rains it Pours

Our basement flooded yesterday.

They say things come in sets of 3:
"omne trium perfectum"

I didn't mention my husband's car breaking down the night after our robbery, because at the time it seemed the least of our worries.

But universe - please note that we have now been presented with a set of 3 this week.

So we are done here right?

Eye For Color Inspiration


I have so much to be thankful for... not the least being that I had just taken photos of all my jewelry (before it was stolen) - for a new book that I am writing.

I've got lots of work left on my new book, and I wasn't planning to let the word out so soon. But you have all been so giving with your comments and support that I want to give you a little something back.

Here is an excerpt - I hope the depth of green in this inspiration will help nurture and calm you, as it does me.
