red jewellery – Julie Frahm

It was lovely to show you the flower jewellery from last week, with beads that I have made before, just used a bit differently.

Well, if we are doing things a little different, then this week it’s really different! Over the many years that I have been making jewellery I have amassed quite a collection of seed beads. I love seed beads, I just don’t really use them any more! But this month I decided to get them out, and make something with them. This is the end result.

The second necklace features all sorts of red glass beads, with all sorts of red seed beads in between! This lariat style necklace is quite versatile, I have found 2 ways to wear it that I like. The rope is 102cm long.

These earrings are dangly and swingy and lots of fun to wear! They are quite long, sitting at about 6.5cm from top to bottom, so if you like your earrings long, these are the ones for you!

Here is a quick link to the shop in case you need it!

This is the first in a series of posts about colour. This month I am focusing on the colour red.

Red

I love the colour red. It is without a doubt my most favourite colour. I always wear a little splash of red somewhere: shoes, earrings, a top. I haven’t quite worked up the courage to wear red pants yet, but maybe one day. And I haven’t found the right red lipstick yet either. Any suggestions?

There’s something about red that says “I feel good”. You don’t need a lot of it. A red necklace when your outfit is black and white looks stunning.
