Color Inspiration - Car Wash Bubbles

by Nancy Chase
Washing my car - not something you may think of for color inspiration. Yet the way the sun was shining on the soap bubbles, the sizes and shapes of variety in the pail caused me to pause, get out my camera and reveal the subtle cast at hand.

This color inspiration was used to create the jewelry-making pattern: Bubble Band Rings

These bubble rings are made with 18 gauge soft round wire. The double bubble with ash grey and night black 20-gauge wire is a variation on the single twist bubble pattern.

Gold wire picks up the light of the sun on the soap. Rose gold and copper bubble rings are a little design for the fingers.

Add a spiral dangle or charm. A small jump ring to attach a spiral to a bubble link adds customization to your unique creations.
