Color Inspiration - Aubergine Dreams

by Nancy Chase
An antique dish filled with eggplant, red onion, and basil, picked fresh from the garden. Washed and arranged just so, they greet the morning sun. It's no wonder artists paint still life works using fruits and vegetables. I too, enjoy finding interesting vessels, grouping produce together, and finding a glowing light to elevate my garden interests from kitchen table to photography subject.
Deep color variations and rich patterns create a feast for the eyes.

Shades of aubergine, basil green, and creamy white gold from a patterned dish, along with a stone wall background, draw attention to the curves and textures in the photo.

Dark purple crystal beads are hand-knotted to create space for light to reflect off the facets throughout the necklace.

A single clear rondelle on one side and another near the clasp add visual interest.

The earrings are also hand-knotted, blending greens, clear crystals, and light amber tones found in the stone background.

Inspired by the colors of our harvest and a sparkle of sunlight, these bead choices shape the jewelry design set.
