On The Wings Of Love - Revealing the Color Red

In the depths of winter, we often search for anything that brings feelings of warmth.  If you work with color, the warmest thing you can do is work with red.  Of course, red is also the color for Valentine's Day, a day wrapped in red (and chocolate, but beading chocolate just gets messy).

With this in mind, Karen Williams challenged the members of the Facebook Freeform Peyote page to create something with red, and some of us are part of a mini-blog hop to share our creations.

I started with a gorgeous focal from JulsBeads, with a gorgeous deep ruby red background a decorations of other reds, greenish turquoise, and a hint of orange.

As I worked, the freeform took on the shape of wings. So I call this piece "On The Wings of Love".

It's a little lacier and more open than my typical freeform work.  I also took the opportunity to use some tilas and twin beads -- new for me in freeform.

Thanks, Karen, for the idea and inspiration that I needed to push back into freeform.  Lots of folks will be revealing their creations on the Facebook group page.  If you want to see the other participants in the mini blog hop, see here:
