Color Inspiration - Morning Walk in the Woods

by Kristal Wick
I've always loved fairies and nymphs! Living in some of the most beautiful places in our country, I've had the opportunity to take many stunning pictures of my nature walks. And every time I hope to run into a fairy or nymph because I would surely live there if I were one!
Nymphs were female spirits of the natural world minor goddesses of forests, rivers, springs, meadows, mountains, and seas.

They were the crafters of nature's wild beauty, guiding the growth of trees, flowers, and shrubs, nurturing wild animals and birds, and shaping grottos, springs, brooks, and wetlands.

How mystical!
Well, sad to say, I've yet to see a nymphbut I still have hope!

In the meantime, I use many of my photos as inspiration for my jewelry creations.

This beauty came from a walk in Georgetown, CO on a lovely spring morning.

One of my favorite color palettes is olive green, copper, and gunmetal.

These earrings are the perfect combo!

For these amazingly easy-to-make earrings, I used two different sizes and colors of chain to reflect the copper and goldish flecks in the Venetian glass beads.

At first, I used only gunmetal chain, but it needed more pop.

Adding copper chain made it rock!

I suggest mixing chain colors for a deeper color palette effect.

You could even use four different chain colors for a real splash!
Creatively, Kristal
