Color Inspiration - The Bend

by Nancy Chase
Once a railroad track, this paved path is now converted to a bike path/walking trail. The beauty of a weekend afternoon meandering the bends in the pathway with cyclists, people pushing baby strollers, dogs and their walkers, is something to look forward to as the days turn warm.
True sky blue, and verdant spring green, light amber grasses edging the pathway.

A simple palette, yet enough inspiration for crystal beads to float in the centers of gently curved wires.

This double chain necklace features an inner chain slightly smaller than the outer one.

Hand-bent 18-gauge silver wire is gently curved, resembling the path in the picture.

Light blue crystals, a translucent green center bead, amber beads, and clear rondelles evoke the clear sky of a lovely afternoon on a park trail.

The long necklace has no clasp.

The two chains are joined at the back center by three copper jump rings.

The beads slide easily along the wires.
