I then paired the green with a mix of pinks, purples, and golds. That's a perfect vintage color combo in my eyes. I used my favorite TOHO bead mixes for most of the bead embroidery (Raspberry mix) with the addition of TOHO hex beads and cube beads.
I even added some 25kt gold rounds and some Swarovski roundelles for that added sparkle. And I had some great Peridot chips I used as well to bring some green into the bead embroidery.
I then sewed the wonderful embroidery onto soft green leather. I used a wonderful bronze size 6/0 seed bead for the trim and then accented the trim with different pink tones.I'm loving this cuff, it's big, and it's definitely beautiful. This blog challenge was definitely one of my all time favorites. It was fun and exciting and I love seeing what everyone came up with. I'm very thankful to be part of this wonderful group.

Victoria -
So gorgeous! You always come up with such pretty pieces for Artbeads! I love the color scheme you chose...and those leaf earrings are fab!
I am fighting with my design...tried to take a Haskell approach. I am hoping to finish it today and get it up by tomorrow or maybe Monday.
Gorgeous! I love the mix of colors and materials. It definitely has a vintage feel.
Still working on mine...taking longer that I anticipated! Hopefully will finish it tonight...getting the beaded components done and just need to add the chain.
Incidentally, I got your cuff in the mail over the weekend....SO Beautiful! Still reminds me of the ocean :) I will be doing a feature about it on my blog...that is as soon as the sun decides to come out :)
Interesting mix. I admire big jewelry on other people, but can't wear it well myself. I look like a little girl playing dress up, lol.
Good luck with your challenge.
Sandy
