I had an idea of
having a jewelry for an every day use.
It should be playful, joyful and colorful
- good to match many clothing colors.
So, I made a bunch of flower glass beads
in many different colors,
as well as some leaf glass beads.
But as they're ready to be incorporated into jewelry
and lay all together side by side on the table,
I felt that something was wrong.
I didn't found them colorful at all,
even though they were variegated.
I was confused and somehow a bit frustrated.
How can I know if something colorful is,
but not knowing why??
I then made kind of a study about this,
to find out, what
colorful means to me.
I know, there must be someone out there,
who has already made a study about this.
But as usual.. I just have to reinvent the wheel,
otherwise I won't get it.
I arranged one, two, three and four beads
and took photos of them.
With and without a green leaf.
I compared them on my computer,
separated them to colorful and not colorful
('love it' and 'dislike it').
Finally I came out with a conclusion, that
combinations of maximum three different colors
plus a green leaf seem colorful to me.
As soon as I've added another color onto it,
I found the combo distracting.
Another conclusion is that
green seem to give the other colors a base.
Now I make the
trifiori using
up to 3 base colors for the flowers
and green for the leaf.
Plus another base color for the leather cord,
such as black or brown.
Even though they are quite earthy,
I think they pop.
I'm going to list some in my store in the next days.
Just need days again to write the descriptions ^_^This is mine - I love it!
