Color Inspiration - French Blues

by Nancy Chase
A friend was invited to spend time in the French countryside with her plein- air painting group. This painting is one of the pieces of work she produced while she was there.
Blues of the field and sky influenced my wool bead necklace.

The landscape theme with light wispy blues, turquoise gate posts, a deep purple field, and golden highlights from the barns roof and back field make for a quiet scene.

The softness of the painting inspired my choice of wool beads for this necklace.

Featuring a kyanite pendant, it's wire wrapped with silver-colored wire.

The brass bead highlights the barn roof colors, while the charcoal blacks evoke the mountains in the painting's background.

The beads are double-loop wire wrapped and connected with jump rings.

The necklace is secured with a magnetic clasp.

French blues add a bright, uplifting mood.
