Feb BJP - On the wild side



Welcome to this month's BJP - I'd been doing a monochromatic colour scheme for the past 13 months, and figured it was time for a departure! This colour combination was put together by my favourite bead store. They have an awesome staff member who's excellent with colour, and this was a mix of colours that came in a package. I substituted out the bronze beads for a similar shade, so I'd have enough to do the background, and added the matte white delicas to compliment the matte square beads. The buttons are from a charity shop not far from my house.

Wow! I have seen this color combo used before and it is always so stunning. (that celery green would never be my choice so thats why its always curious to me that I love this color scheme so much).

Well, you are going to have a hard time topping this one! Gorgeous beading.

Karin, so totally different! Isn't it great to just grab the beads and see what comes out?

Wow, I love it!! It reminds me of Spring "bubbling up"...probably why it makes me so happy to look at, since I hate Winter! =)

Beautiful! I love the matte white background. The variations between the shiny and the matte is excellent.
