Art Bead Scene included me in their Fall Color Inspiration post -- this was one of those times when I accidentally fell on my face right into the "in vogue" color palette of the season! Usually I just make what I like (and believe me, I like this bracelet and hope a customer does, too!) but I wasn't intentional trying to follow a trend.
In case you're interested, here's the fall color palette for the year:

And here was my accidental contribution, using beads I made myself and polymer clay by Floridity:
So maybe I should be paying more attention to trends. I think I'll clip the color palette and keep it by my design desk. I must admit, I keep gravitating to bright colors -- in fact everything I made this morning was colorful and fun. But trying a few more "trend" pieces and seeing how they're received by my customer base might be an interesting experiment!

ReplyDeleteI think the color palette is fantastic. I love it really a lot. And I was just wondering why I am always sticking to the boring monotone colors. Your bracelet is lovely and special as always.
ReplyDeleteOh and thank you for the baby birthday suggestions on my post. I will surely incorporate them into my planning. Thanks.
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking the same thing: I guess I should be paying closer attention to color trends....
I'm not usually drawn to purples but your bracelet has such a pretty mix of beads I really love it. Thanks for posting the fall color trend it helps when I lampwork to decide on colors that my customers might like.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous on trend bracelet! Trends are super important and every season I add one accessory to my wardrobe that is trendy! I found the most beautiful scarf the other day and can't wait to wear it!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy fall!
Isn't that funny? I thought the same thing about my piece that Heather found on my Flickr page! I made that one as a special request for a client for a mother's day gift for his wife who likes to wear browns and yellows. Hello, trend-setter! Serendipity for sure. And welcome to you too Miss Lori to the ABS contributors. Sweet!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the day!
