Color Inspiration - Matcha Morning

by Nancy Chase
I am not a barista, but I do love a pretty mug of anything warm and inviting. This matcha latte`photo in a bright red cup starts the day with energy and cheer.
Whisking the tea powder is a meditative ritual that must not be rushed.

If not blended well, the powder can clump and turn bitter.

Matcha's intense sweetness carries a deeper flavor than other tea varieties.

It brings an elevated taste to the everyday much like the first whiff of a good cup of coffee for coffee lovers.

This red and green color combination is a classic pairing for this time of year.

Colder days draw me to my bead shelf in search of bright red coral, olive wood beads, and tea green hues with wispy cream tones.

I started the memory wire bracelet with small round coral beads, then added olive wood accents, a few oblong coral beads, and three jade serpentine statement beads to give the design a festive, holiday spirit.

A single flat square agate, wire wrapped and flanked by coral beads, dangles from one end.

Raise a cup of morning cheer, and have happy holidays!
