This series is a representation of beaded versions of the Spring 2014 fashion colors. Each addition highlights one of the 2014 colors. Each of the entries will vary in style and composition.
Note: Artistic license was used to create these entries in the Spring 2014 Fashion Series, so the hue or tone may not exactly match each of the colors.
This entry highlights the 2014 Spring color Placid Blue. This sky blue color is nicely offset by milky aquamarine FirePolished beads with one of my favorite bead finishes, Celsian. I slightly modified the earring pattern to fit the top drilled machine cut crystals with a matching Celsian finish.
