I admit, I am the ultimate monochromatic color schemer.  It’s easy.  Sometimes, though, I feel like being colorful!  So I’ll grab a couple colorful focal beads like these . . .

Then I grab my bead stash and find colors to go with the beads.  As you can see, these focal beads are rich with many colors.  Sometimes it takes a trip to the bead store to get just the right ones, but it is usually worth it.  I can’t tell you how these are going to turn out yet, but I’m excited at the possibilities!  I hope to post some finished colorful pieces soon.
