November's Component of the Month Challenge at AJE Blog was a pair of these beaded lovelies by
Kristen Stevens. We each got to choose our favorite color and I, of course, chose the rusty orange ones… and how could I not? Orange
is my favorite color!
Come see what I made with them…
I paired them up with two of my own polymer beads in purple… because purple is one of my favorite colors to go with orange (a lot of favorites going on here!) and strung them on textured spiral headpins that I formed myself.
A simple design, but one I totally love! The color combination brings to mind a winter sunset, when the colors begin to soften, the moment just before they fade away. I titled them "Fading Sunset".
Aren't Kristen's beads just gorgeous?
And one last
favorite thing about these earrings—they are a perfect complement to my new favorite sweater! Thanks for such a fun and beautiful challenge component, Kristen!
