I'm trying to expand my color palette a bit and work outside my comfort zone (which, believe it or not, consists of two colors - black and white). To that end, I recently added LOTS of new colors to my collection of Delica beads. While my credit card may be suffering under the strain of my new obsession, my Etsy shop is enjoying a new burst of color.

The recent additions to the shop run the gamut of colors and designs.

Rigid geometry, with a slim little bracelet that features triangles beadwoven in pewter gray and dark bronze.

Fanciful swirls, a yummy delicious cuff beadwoven from pale blue and lime green.


Bold abstract, beadwoven with some of the brightest colors in my Delica stash.


I told you I'm trying to work outside my comfort zone, didn't I?

I've been very lucky in the Etsy treasury department lately, too, and I'm remiss in thanking the curators. I'll be back later to do that... promise!

My favorite one is the blue and green one in the middle. I'm fond of swirly things though.

Wow, great things happen when you work outside your comfort zone! I am especially drawn to the bright colors in the third bracelet you featured. What talent!

Marylou-
Hey - I've had my eye on the 3rd bracelet now for a while! Have an art show today and I'm hoping to do well so I can snag that one! Even if I don't do well, I think that one's going to be mine!
Talk soon.
Cheers,
Deb
