I especially like that last bracelets, not least as the colours remind me of a flavour combination I love in candy and chewing gum: violets and licorice. 😀
I think Swarovski’s dorado mixes nicely with amethyst and purples. That combo is also candy related: purples and bronze (plus a touch of black and white) are the colours on the boxes for Violtabletter, a type of violet-flavoured pastilles I like. There’s a photo of the box here: http://www.danfun.net/livsmedel/bilder/prod/violtablett.gif
Otherwise, I like mixing amethysts as well as many other purple beads with copper and browns. Or perhaps and some green, especially olivine or moss greens. Very traditional colour combos, but I like it. Or I add a touch of papaya or padparadscha.
I have a question about resins. Do you know of a one-step resin that’s just come on the market? I got an email about it, erased the email, and now can’t find any info on the new product. Thought you might know.
Thanks!
Amethyst is awesome. It’s color compliments any design.
and i’ll take the days getting long for sure 🙂
Purple, the unsung basic color!
The sign in the picture is really funny but it means a lot.
