Another singular sensation {green}
Hello! So happy that you are stopping by! Today I’m sharing another piece of jewelry inspired by a single color palette. A “singular sensations” sort of series. 🙂 In a recent post, I shared how I enjoy working with monochromatic color schemes. I asked about your favorite monochromatic color scheme as well. Do you know what seemed to be the most popular choice other than blue? Green! I had to smile when I saw all of the green comments, because I had already started pulling out some green beads with my next necklace in mind.
I mixed some wonderful brass chain with a variety of beads…..from Swarovski crystal to lampwork glass. The unusual rectangular bead is ceramic by Lisa Peters. The speckled nugget-shaped lampwork beads are “Gia Pebbles” by Shannon Westmeyer. When perusing your special beads looking for all shades and shapes of just one color, designing is really quite easy and fun.
Thank you for stopping by! 🙂

Oooooooh, Cindy, that is oh so pretty! And that ceramic bead is awesome. Have to check her stuff out. Off to her site I’m:-)
I absolutely love it! Well, I love everything you do, but this is a great piece, with all the different things to look at, all the different shades and components.
Hi Cindy, this is really nice. Green is usually not my choise of color, since I have so few things to wear in green. But I guess it can be close enough to blue 😉 and te darker shades are really really lovely. I always enjoy when you make jewelry. So nice.
Beautiful – well, what else can I say? It is green, after all!!!! 🙂
Hope you are going to have a wonderful weekend – any antiquing on the schedule?
Cindy, very nice. It reminds me of calm waters with blue and green hues. Could I be thinking to hard about a vacation that is not planned (lol).
A real beauty! The Lampwork beads are spectacular..Ive just started lampwork and really Love it too!
Lovely! The lampwork beads are gorgeous! I never really liked the color green until I started making jewelry. Now I can’t get enough of it!
Cindy! Your necklace is right up my alley! I love the color green and the shades of green you used in creating this necklace are fabulous!
I just have to tell you when I read the title of the post, I now have the song “one singular sensation” from a Chorus Line playing in my head! 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Gorgeous! I’m such a sucker for anything green 🙂
Gorgeous as always, Cindy. I love the way all the different greens play so nicely together each one bringing out the best of the others. Cool!

Gorgeous!! I absolutely love the mix of beads-Even though they’re in the same color scheme, they are SO different! The shapes and sizes and textures…But it all goes together and compliments each other nicely 🙂
Beautiful again Cindy! I went and looked at Shannon’s lampworked beads and she does incredible work, her organics are little masterpieces. Your wire wrapping is enviable, hope I get as good one day!
