Time to Sparkle

This is a new design I've been working on. It took me forever to figure out the color palette. The new Swarovski Innovations: Fall/Winter 2012/13 were just released and I really wanted to use colors based on their trend predictions, which they describe like this:

"For Fall/Winter 2012/13, we detail five current cities that are impacting on and influencing the modern design world, capturing them in a snapshot of time. Letting all colors, all patterns and all worlds merge, we delve into the realm of the imagination to create a modern design language that speaks to a worldwide family."

This design is inspired by the palette they've based on Istanbul. I had to tweak my selections based on the beads in my stash. I used black Artistic Wire with Caribbean blue, fuchsia, Indian pink, crystal golden shadow and crystal bronze pearl. I can't wait to show you the rest of my design sometime soon!

Here's the goodie box of Innovations. You can see better pix at the link but I couldn't resist including a pic of the sample box. Doesn't it look like scrumptious? So many fun things! I love the new colors and cuts. You'll be seeing a lot more of these components in the coming months.
