Color Inspiration - American Beauty Flag
This American Flag photo was shot using a large format 4 x 5 inch view camera, on Polaroid film.
This technique is called a Polaroid emulsion transfer. After photographing the flag, the photographer carefully pulled the Polaroid apart and placed the negative face down onto watercolor paper.
Using a roller, the image was pressed onto the paper and left to develop for several minutes. Then, the Polaroid was peeled apart and the negative discarded.
Originally, this photo was created as a background for a magazine advertisement for a 4th of July sale at an appliance company.
The texture of the watercolor paper, the outline of the Polaroid film frame, and the yellowed emulsion left on the print all contribute to an artistic perspective in capturing the flag.

While sorting through my bead box, I discovered many shades of red, white, and blue.
Inspired to create a versatile, long necklace with no clasp, I used beading wire.
I finished each end by wrapping the wire around a brass rondelle, securing it with a crimp.
Then, I covered the crimp with a crimp cover for a polished look.

This 42-inch necklace features vintage beads from Tibet and Africa, showcasing a time-worn look. The Native American-inspired chevron beads combine all three colors in one bead.
Shades of translucent crystal highlight the pale frosted glass, round bone beads, and small white pearls. Clay elements, along with coral and garnet beads, match the red stripes of the flag.
The blue background of the stars is represented by lapis, indigo African glass beads, and the vintage Tibetan focal bead.
This long necklace can be doubled up, twisted several times around the wrist, or worn as a single strand around the neck.
This color combination will always be a classic.
