I have an extra special friendship with a particular color scheme.  The monochromatic scheme and I are on very good terms.  🙂  Generally considered  visually pleasing, the monochromatic color scheme involves using various tones and shades of  a single base color.   If I had to chose a single color that I prefer to work with the most, it would have to be blue (what, you’re not surprised?).    The color of the sea and sky, who can resist a color that imparts such a sense of serenity.   Read here to see what your favorite color might say about you. I find that when using a single color, adding a good mix of textures and shapes can take a piece from ho-hum to incredible.  Adding art beads most certainly adds to the wow factor.

available on Etsy, just in time for spring and summer!

Lengths of beautiful brass chain were wire-wrapped to an assortment of beads to create this ode to Spring.  The art beads included are ceramic beads by Nan Emmet, a large-hole lampwork ring by Sue Kennedy, an enameled bead by Barbara Lewis, and a sweet polymer clay bird by Heather Powers.  I added a wire nest link to complete the Spring theme.  I love creating long necklaces, and this one is a versatile 36″ in length.

Do you enjoy creating in monochromatic color schemes?  If so, what is your favorite single color?
