Poll

I added a little poll over to the right there - I was wondering what colors everyone is working with right now. Pantone says the color of the year is turquoise, but purples also seem to be in style still! I know a lot of people are working in fall colors for submissions to magazines. What colors are you working with?

I am trying to branch out into colours I don't normally use. I am using more oranges and browns right now, and I am really liking what is coming out of that. Turquoise is always a safe bet. You can always throw in a hint of turquoise with most colour combos. Green is always my fave!!

{I ended up getting those beads last night!! lol}

I'll be interested to see what comes of this Sue. I know blues and greens always do well for me. But maybe that's just because I like those colours best and glaze everything in site those colours.

For me it varies every day. This weekend was all about orange, green and purple and now I'm onto pastel pink, lavender and baby blue for a Valentine's Day design.

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
