One Crayon Colour Challenge



 I thought this challenge was going to be a piece of cake, a breeze, a no brainer. Pick any colour I want, & use all shades of it? GREEN of course, easy peasy. I loved the orange bracelet in the example & thought I'd try something like that, but as I gathered all my greens I found these four beads & was struck w/ a different vision. 
I'd take the 4 large beads strung on cord, knotted between & on the other half smaller beads & a strand of chain w/ all the colours in an ombre fade. Uh the cord wouldn't fit through my large beads, back to the drawing board. So I decide to just string them, same ombre idea, same big beads one side ,small beads other side.



big beads don't bend

   I have touched, rearranged & fought these beads every day.  I really felt like I was losing! I wanted to stay w/ the ombre,(I'm stubborn that way) so I thought about a multi-strand bracelet



No,just no.

SO I pulled out the memory wire, my long-time friend, who rarely lets me down. I was able to stay w/ my ombre vision, kept the large nuggets & even worked in the neon~y dangles that had eluded me so far.Am I happy w/ it? maybe, I'm wearing it tomorrow so I'll know better then.




the nuggets that started it all





Enjoy the hop!!
