It's reveal day for the Challenge of Color 2012 hosted by Erin Prais-Hintz of Treasures Found and Brandi Hussey of Brandi Girl.
The challenge: We were given the choice of two palettes. The palettes were created by Brandi Hussey and based on pictures from the Earth As Art exhibit from the United States Geological Service taken from the Landsat 7 satellite. To meet the challenge we needed to create something that captures the colors from the chosen palette.
Although the other one was more "my colors" I needed a push in another direction so this is the palette I chose.
It's a photo of the Ghadamis River. The caption under the photo reads -
"This scar on an arid landscape is the dry riverbed of the Ghadamis River in the Tinrhert Hamada Mountains near Ghadamis, Libya."
Okay geography and EVERYTHING related to the school subject "Social Studies" WAS not and IS not my friend. I just made it through those classes so that is all the information I have for you...but eye candy I got!
Here is a collage of the bracelet I created. It's a memory wire bracelet and my FIRST. I like it, its colors are a nice mix and I love the look on my arm. I don't usually do orange but this is a subtle shade and I like it, I like it!
Note: See the close-ups of the orangy-yellow bead and the blue beads? Well guess what, they are the SAME bead! Yup it changes color. In yet another picture it was more dark purple. FUNNY it stayed true to the palette even though it couldn't decide what color to be! It's a cameleon bead! (received from my Secret Sister ¤ )

ReplyDeletelove
rita
I called it a cameleon bead but I guess its more like a mood bead...remember the mood ring craze Rita!!haha
DeleteChameleon beads? Wow, that is a new animal to me, Shelley! Couldn't resist bragging some more about your generous S.S, huh?... Can't blame you! I think you bracelet is amazing, love the mix of colours and textures. That photo is incredible... who could have imagined a "scar on an arid landscape" could look so breathtaking?
ReplyDeleteThanks Monique...I call it cameleon but its more like a mood ring, remember them? AND YES I have to brag on my secret sister! She also sent me the turquoise I used in this bracelet. It means alot to me. ALL the palettes and photos are truly awesome!
DeleteNever heard of a chameleon bead before, but it fits right in with your bracelet. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThank you Renetha! Its more like a mood bead, like the rings!
DeleteWhat a great piece! I love the Chameleon beads!!!! :) BTW - your palette is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Courtney. ALL the palettes were beautiful...want to frame them all!
DeleteDitto on the chameleon beads.....never heard of them. HEY! How does one goe about getting a "secret sister?" sounds like a fun thing to have, LOL. anyhow, I love the colors and the flow of a memory wire bracelet goes perfectly with the dry river flow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great comments. It does kinda flow around my wrist. The mood bead, don't know official name but thats what I call it! You can definitely get a Secret Sister on the next round at BeadSwap-usa website. Check out my Secret Sister post earlier this week for more info!
DeleteHi Shelley, I love your bracelet and the different textures of your beads. And the chameleon bead, wow that is cool!
ReplyDeleteThat bead just keeps changing color over and over. I tried breathing heavy on it to change but to no avail - it has a mind of its own. I have haunted beads! hehehee
Deleteoh sure, the bead changes colour... are you ok Shelley?...should we be worried about you? thank goodness for the photographic evidence. Beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteEmma it really does!! I admit I AM crazy but so is this bead!
DeleteLove the colors in this bracelet! Gorgeous!

DeleteOh I love this bracelet - I always forget about memory wire and it gives such a beautiful effect. Love the beads and they change colour - wow!
ReplyDeleteBead Soup Mix
Thank you Chrizette. I think I am really going to be doing more of the memory bracelets - once I get the memory wire cutter that is, otherwise I will ruin my flushcutters. I appreciate you coming by...I will be visiting you too!
DeleteYou matched the colors of the palette perfectly. Way to go! Andrea
ReplyDeleteAndrea thanks so much for your kind words...and for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteI do love wearing it and YES more like mood beads (you are showing your age there Kashmira!!) LOL
DeleteChameleon beads? What's that? Anyway I love how you mixed the colours. Everything is perfect in your design!
ReplyDeleteAmbra
Thanks Ambra! I don't know the official name but thats what I call them! They are like the mood rings? DO you remember those?
DeleteAbsolutely fabulous - love this! Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Caron!
DeleteYour bracelet is stunning. You had such an eclectic mix of beads and you made them work flawlessly with each other. You did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tanya! I LOVED you pieces especially the bracelet- cool beads.
DeleteClearly that bead was meant to be in this bracelet and used in this project! I've never seen one before, but I like it. I'm also giggling a little because it can't make up it's mind about color, except that it likes the color palette you were given! It was made to be in your fun bracelet, wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along!
Yes Brandi I guess it was meant to be...I really loved this challenge and ended up with a new bracelet (cause THIS one is a keeper and NOT for sale!) Thanks for providing these gorgeous palettes!
Delete"Love the bracelet! 'Love the palette! 'Love the cameleon bead!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Thank you and Thank you Karla!!
DeleteLove those colors, and aren't memory wire bracelets fun to make? Great job!
ReplyDeleteYes oh yes they are alot of fun! I need to get some things off my plate so I can make some more (hopefully in time for Christmas!)
DeleteWhat a fun colorful bracelet you created. I bet it goes with everything.
ReplyDeleteYou know Mary, it really does! I wore it with jeans and an orange sweater yesterday and it really popped. I need matching earrings now!
DeleteWhat a fun bracelet! Love it! That's a quirky little color changing bead - fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteYup Sandra, that is the perfect way to describe it - quirky, just like me! LOL
DeleteThe palettes WERE gorgeous! I love your bracelet and the lampwork beads you created?! Wowza!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and colorful bracelet! A perfect match to your color palette. Love the chameleon bead!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle. I am beginning to LOVE this bracelet more and more everyday. Its staying HOME with me. Do you get attached to your pieces too?!
DeleteI love the combination of beads...this bracelet is nothing but fun! This is a reminder to have more fun with beads; your result was just fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThank you Donetta. I loved my palette. Your jasper necklace is quite beautiful, btw!
DeleteGreat mix of colors and textures in this bracelet. Love he palette you chose too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cory! This was a cool challenge wasn't it? BUT some of us enjoyed it a little more than others - THREE pieces, really?!! You did a wonderful job!
DeleteI am {fashionably} late to my own party, Miss Shelley! I am finishing up this fantastic tour of the world with you! I love the color palette you chose. And I am surprised that it was a challenge for you because that bracelet rocks! No, really. It is made of rocks. And the wearer can rock it out, no doubt! ;-) That is a perfect blue jeans kind of bangle that you could wear all the time. And that chameleon bead is pretty darn cool. Thank you for playing with me in this Challenge! Enjoy the day. Erin
ReplyDeleteErin...I am SLOWLLy getting through the hop too. AND I ONLY had one piece...you are unbelievable with your MANY gorgeous creations, I bow down to you! I AM the only wearer of my bracelet, fell in love with it after looking at it for a while. PERRRFect with jeans, yup! Thanks for letting me play.
DeleteHAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
A great bracelet. I love the texture in it. And you really captured the palette, along with your 'chameleon' bead. LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks Kay! I love your pieces too! The textures- yummy!
DeleteYou have a great point. For me when it comes to fabrics, the most challenging thing about it is finding the right color and how to combine them all together. And coincidentally it's also the most fun part of it all.
ReplyDeleteI love this memory wire bracelet! The colors are lovely and just perfect for the palette. The various sizes of the beads give this piece great texture.
