color prototyping

Once a design is perfected, the next thing I need to do is make it in multiple colors.  Some projects are easier then others to envision.  Beads that look great together in tubes do not always make up the way you expect.

This one in soft gold with lilac shadow and a volcano loch rosen with fuchsia accents is ok, but I think the gold should be substituted with a reddish bronze and the loch rosen should maybe be gold.

In the meantime though, I decided not to waste the prototype!  So I made a second and now I have more earrings!

Should my next color idea not pan out I'll be making a coordinated ring!  Another idea would be to make the seven components for a bracelet all slightly different which would give it a very victorian flair but make it very difficult to kit!

These are so gorgeous - and I think the color combination is perfect!! I think they would look pretty with a matte gold and the same crystals and so on, too. Beautiful...

I agree with NED, it is a lovely combo, but I like what you are suggesting too. I am always puzzled by how you can imagine what others might find appealing, and guess with success. You say po-TAY-to and I say po-TAH-to... But your potatoes are usually hot cakes indeed! :)
