    I'm the editor for - 'Costume & Beaded Artisan Jewellery' category (glass, ceramic, beaded etc)

    I'm looking for Etsy members to feature on the Etsy Profiles Blog

    All I need you to do is follow the link... Send Profiles

    Everything you need is on the link above including how and where to send your feature.

    I do ask for pictures to have your copyright, but if you can't get that done, then don't worry because shop links are fully provided within each post.

    The text of your profile is a copy and paste job, so make sure you send what you would like published... but ALL features received will be edited/checked before being published! I will add a new feature every 3 to 4 days as time allows.

    Couldn't be an easier self promotion opportunity!

I’m Blue and Brown all over…

Posted by juliesjewels on June 22, 2008

An internet group I’m in has set a ~ Creative Color Combo Challenge ~ each participant is put into a team of 4 members and given a set of colors.  Then between the team we have to choose 2 types of beads and the metal we want to use. 

The bead choices were – Lampwork, Polymer Clay, Freshwater Pearls, Lucite, Gemstones, Czech Glass or Swarovski Crystals.

The metal choice is between – Silver, Gold, Pewter or Copper

So my team was given the Color Combo of Blue and Brown.  We chose to use Czech Glass and Swarovski Crystal with Silver-Plated metals. 

So this is what I’ve come up with…

I have used Smoked Topaz Swarovski Crystal bicones, Cobalt Czech Glass faceted rounds and Silver-plated metal beads.  I’ve not used this color combo before and am quiet happy with the way this set turned out.  Much prettier in reality.

I’ll list it once the challenge is finished.
