Month: November 2015

I hope you have enjoyed this Green Month so far!  I didn’t realise until I started writing these posts that I had kept the jewellery very green.  Usually I add some contrasting colour, just to show how colours interact.  But, the “complementary” colour to green on the colour wheel is red, and you know what happens when you put green and red together in jewellery?  You get Christmas pieces!  So, yeah, everything is green.

I made this mixed bead necklace with several shades of green, and I actually like how it turned out.  For those who like things to match, I also made the bracelet.

I made a bunch of these necklaces when I did the Colour Wheel Colour of the Month jewellery, and people seemed to like them.

So, I thought I would make some with green beads.  What do you think?

Well, it’s better late than never around here at the moment!  I’m slowly catching up on everything (I think)!

I just sent the newsletter to my subscribers.  Did you get it?  Did you want to see it?  Just click on the subscribe link and add your email address and I’ll make sure to get it to you.

So November is all about the colour green.  The series will also run into December.  And then I’ll start the next colour of the month in January.  OK?

Green is a pretty frustrating colour to work with in glass.  I don’t know what they have done to it to make it that way, but let’s just say it’s a very tricky colour, and it’s very difficult to create nice patterns with the glass.  I had actually planned a different range of work, but when I went to make the beads the glass was not playing nicely!

Er, so…I made some necklaces like the ones below with very simple round beads.  I’m actually really pleased with how they turned out.  There are so many shades of green.  I have etched the beads on the top necklaces, and left them shiny on the other.  Which version do you prefer?
