Sally challenged us to come up with a monochromatic design in a crayon colour of our choice - I chose blue. I often work with teals, aquas and turquoises, but usually more green in tone. I love blue though. Here's my blue on blue:
a mixed media cuff
hand dyed silk ribbon - www.sowzeredesigns.com
patinated blue chain - www.missficklemedia.etsy.com
enamelled flower - www.gardannebeads.etsy.com
gemstones, including labradorite with the most amazing blue flash I've ever seen - www.precioussparklebeads.co.uk

So very pretty - I love that you found blue patinated chain to use!
Rebecca,
Your cuff is very pretty. I like how you incorporated the soft silk with the hard of the chain and stones. All the different shades of blue that you chose are beautiful together.

Super pretty! Love all the different hues you have used.
Beautimous! Even though there's no turquoise or red to be found, it's still definitely YOU. I love the big fabric bit too, so soft :)
I adore blue. You nailed it. The mix of all the stones and silk just make this so lovely. The hints of blue on the chain just set it over the top. I really really like this!
A very pretty and original design Rebecca - love it.
Rebecca, you know i love a mixed media cuff and in one of my favorite colors no less!!! Oh so beautiful!! All those different hues and textures!!! LOVE!!!!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to participate in the crayon challenge!! Beautifully done!!!
LOVE this! All the different colors of blue and oh, those textures. I like how it looks on you, too - way cool!! Great design!! Super cool photos, as well!
Gorgeous cuff and design.
That is one gorgeous blue bracelet. Love the layering on the silk and all the heavy wire wrapping. Great job!
I love the width of the ribbon, and how the beads lie on it. And I also like how you wrapped your briolettes -- perfect. Beautiful!
wonderful mixed media! love how the beading falls over the silk.
That cuff really makes me sigh. It's so romantic and girlie. I'm amazed that you were able to capture that flash of blue in the labradorite. It's such a cool stone! As always, your work is amazing!
Rebecca,
This is such a gorgeous piece! The colors of the beads and the silk are amazing. And the metal keeps this feminine piece from being too 'girly'. Fabulous!

That is seriously amazing. I love the ribbon and the blue chain and all the beads. It is just to die for. I love it!
Such a pretty blue design, I love the way you've incorporated the silk piece and the patined chain - it works together perfectly. :)
I love your cuff, Rebecca - I'm quite terrified of mixing elements, so I love when I see designs that put them together so nicely, so balanced, it's a beauty!
Rebecca, what a gorgeous cuff! The textures and movement are amazing. And that labradorite is stunning - you can see a bit of the flash in the pic! You work so beautifully in mixing materials...
I love the way you put this together! Great job!
I love all the different hues and textures! Beautiful!
Thanks for the shout out Rebecca. I love the use of fabric so comfy looking.
Great mix of materials and textures. I really liked seeing both the detail photos and the your last photo of the cuff being worn. Very hip.
This is a WOW bracelet! Everything about it speaks to me - looks like it took ages to make and I love that you incorporated so many elements that go together wonderfully. It is like a song sung perfectly on key!
Very nice!
Oh that is gorgeous! But then again, I knew your entry would be :)
I never would have thought of layering everything over a wide ribbon, but it works perfectly, and I bet it's really comfortable to wear. And that labradorite - wow!
Gorgeous. Love the way you combined the silk and the wire wrapped beads and the chain. fabulous!!!
I love dangles and bracelets and this blue one is stunning!
Gorgeous blues! I love the tattered silk!
