Color Inspiration - Autumn Hues

by Debbie Blair
There's nothing quite like getting outdoors on a warm autumn day to awaken the senses. The air seems fresh and crisp, the sky bluer. The skin soaks up the sun's warmth, as leaves crunch underfoot.

And sometimes it's as if we are seeing colors for the very first time. The lush greens of summer have transformed the landscape into vivid hues of citrusy yellows, tangerine oranges, and crimson reds. Chestnut, cinnamon, and copper dot the ground. Cloudless skies mimic azure seas. And we hold tight to nature's autumnal color palette, until the days turn to the muted landscape of winter.
Sometimes I think my daughter loves fall even more than Christmas or her birthday combined.

Inspired by her love for the season, I wanted to create a necklace that captured all the rich, warm colors of autumn.

I started with a chartreuse beaded chain and added a hand-stamped copper pendant as the focal point.

Then, I attached a mix of charms and dangles in shades of red, blue, and yellow-orange, creating a personalized piece that reflects her vibrant personality

something she can treasure and wear as she grows into her pre-teen and teen years.
