Color Inspiration - Dreaming of Winter

by Kristal Wick
It's 98 degrees in Colorado today. This June has been filled with record breaking heat which is good if you're a summer-lover. Sadly, I am not. I know, I know, I'm in the minority but I've always been that way. Raised in Minnesota, where it's winter most of the year, might have something to do with it. Not one to count the days until summer, I'm counting the days until ski season! Watch for the tutorial on her necklace tomorrow!
This beautiful winter scene of Silt, Colorado (just past Aspen) inspired my "I can't wait" for winter feeling.

I love the vibe and muted blue colors of the snowy mountains.

These pearls were a perfect match to that image and this fun necklace project was born.

I wanted to explore using memory wire in a new way other than the usual wrap bracelet.

You can adapt this design to be as long and wide as desired.
