Color Inspiration - Car Wash Bubbles

by Nancy Chase
Washing my car - not something you may think of for color inspiration. Yet the way the sun was shining on the soap bubbles, the sizes and shapes of variety in the pail caused me to pause, get out my camera and reveal the subtle cast at hand.

This color inspiration was used to create the jewelry-making pattern: Bubble Band Rings

That sounds gorgeous! The contrast between the ash grey, night black, and warm tones of gold, rose gold, and copper must create such a beautiful play of light and texture like bubbles shimmering in the sun.

Adding a spiral dangle or charm sounds like a perfect way to give those rings a playful, personalized touch.

Do you have a favorite charm or spiral design you like to use, or do you switch it up depending on your mood or the vibe of the piece?
