Today's Studio Friday topic is one that I suggested. I suggested it for selfish reasons....I always gravitate towards the same color combinations and I wanted some new inspiration! Plus its another great way for us to show off our work right?
For the most part, my color combinations revolve around brown. I am such a brown girl. Turquoise and brown is one of my favorites. Yummy right?
I went through a phase where so many of my necklaces were green and brown that I had to make a conscious effort to not use them in combination anymore....well at least not as much. I can't help it though. I wear tons of brown and my eyes are green so I wear a lot of green and brown. I guess I just gravitate towards these colors.
Lastly, we have pink and (of course) brown. For some reason the combination reminds me of yummy ice cream. It's girly meets earthy. My two favorite things.
I have to really push myself to try new combinations and trust my instincts. So give me some fabulous ideas here!
What a great site! I just found you through the Blogs by women.
The blues are always my fav.

Turquoise, green, and pink with brown are all favs of mine too. I need to use them together more often in my stuff. :)

I love your color combinations! I, too, am trying to broaden my horizons when it comes to picking out colors for my jewelry. I tend to use the same color combos..... Your jewelry is wonderful. Karin

I'm right there with you on the love for those colors! There's just something about a vivid color meeting brown. Flowers meet earth?
