My second design for the
Artbeads.com Fall design challenge. As I did for my
first piece, I used the 'Fall 2010 Patone's Color Report' for my inspiration.
Lagoon,
Lipstick Red, and
Oyster Grey. Turquoise is my absolute favorite color and my favorite gemstone! I'm thrilled that Turquoise is the 'Color of the Year', according to Patone and I'm taking full advantage of it! I love the organic shape of this natural
Turquoise nugget bead strand. I hand-knotted the Turquoise gems onto some Red
silk beading cord. The large
antique silversmith button serves as the focal and the clasp! This decorative button can be worn at the side, in the front or at the back!
I made a simple loop for the button with a piece of
2mm dark brown leather and a
large antique silver pewter crimp end. I hope you've enjoyed my Artbeads Fall design project! Thank you for stopping by! :) Happy Beading!
