I’m easing into designing with bright colors and wanted a simple project that would work up quickly. The result? Immediate gratification and a new pair of earrings to wear! I opted for bead-woven triangles as a fun way to combine subtle shades of blue, orange, and lemon (all silver-lined Delicas) with vivid dark red and vibrant pea green opaque beads. I really like the results! The addition of a single 4mm Czech Druk bead strung on the earwire at the center of each triangle (an orange Druk on the predominantly blue/orange/red triangle and a red Druk on the green/orange/violet triangle) adds a nice finishing touch! Each geometrically woven double-sided triangle measure 30mm and hangs on a 33mm long silver-plated stainless steel earwire for lots of swing and sway! The title of these earrings is “Color Play”.
Color Play!
