I've been working on color patterns this week and seeing which shades of colors compliment each other the most. I find that I like to work with the more pastel shades over the primary ones. I think that color combinations are very important in jewelry making because it must appeal to the person who is wearing the jewelry. I usually stick to the light shades but I don't really have a preference. Lately I've been looking at color charts which is provided in the picture above. I really love http://www.brandigirlblog.com/ because she shares all of her color inspiration to the world. I realized from her which colors compliment different skin tones or anything basically. For example, on pale skin pastel colors would look fresh and for dark skin bright colors would complete the look.  Picking out which color combos has been a fun experience because I get to experiment with different shades of the rainbow. I've drifted away from actually wire wrapping the jewelry because I was so amazed about all of the different colors of beads I saw. It was definitely bead heaven. All in all, this week has been fun since I've changed my course of direction a bit.
