Margie and Me: Hollywood Glamour and Giveaway Winner

First up are our challenge palettes for this month.
The first is one that I created using this photo of Grace Kelly.
I chose to use the entire photo as color inspiration, not just her dress.
So, you have this beautiful mix of this deep smoky gray with punches of garnet and magenta with a creamy backdrop.


To stick with the Hollywood theme I chose Margie's palette #99 which she calls appropriately, Marilyn.
This is a color palette inspired by one of the silkscreen printings made of Marilyn by Andy Warhol after her death.
The colors in Margie's palette are a little brighter, and Margie also includes the Delica #'s in her book, The Beader's Color Palette if you're a beadweaver and would like the colors.


Here are the guidelines:
1. Create a piece of jewelry inspired by one of the color palettes (or both!)
2. On April 18th, we'll have inspiration share. You can leave a link to an etsy find that's inspired by the color palette, or create a treasury, whatever you'd like.
3. On April 30th, I'll post my creations and you can stop by and post a link to yours!


Also, I chose a winner for my giveaway!
Thanks to everyone who entered and shared the giveaway.
The winner was #37, which is....
Penny from Earthly Jewels!

Penny, send me an e-mail with your snail mail address and I'll ship your bracelet out to you ASAP.
Thanks again to everyone who helped me celebrate 300 sales!
Have a great Monday and enjoy your week!

  6. Ohh what gorgeous palettes...hopefully I can take part this time as it has been a little while since I have created a Margie & Me piece.

    I love how you do the colour palettes now too and have noticed a few blogs doing them that way... do you use a particular site?
