For my Art Bead Scene entry this month, I used the leaf shaped crackle beads from my faux ivory experiments. I’m having fun with this shape and I really like how well it works for earrings.
The inspiration artwork is dominantly a creamy tan color, with little pops of purple and blue. I initially wanted to use purple freshwater pearls, but I didn’t have quite the right shade. Instead, I went with some navy blue.
I added a purple backdrop as a nod to the color scheme. This month’s inspiration was a fun challenge, as usual. It’s nice to stretch beyond what’s familiar and the ABS challenges are always an excellent way to do that.
