Color Inspiration - Falling for Fall

by Kristal Wick
It's fall in my beloved Minnesota! The stunning reds, oranges and yellows delight me every October and this year did not disappoint. Don't we all love the fall fireworks Mother Nature puts on come Autumn? My creative flow gushes during these months and inspiration surrounds at every corner.
This pic I took on a walk near Lake Minnetonka (yes, the very lake Prince refers to in the movie, Purple Rain) with the pups invoked the feeling of how the changing leaves resembled a cascading waterfall. I quickly sketched out this earring design and named it Falling For Fall.

The technique is simple and uses up any orphan beads or crystals. Change the aesthetic by swapping out the cones for a totally different look.
Creatively,
Kristal
