Color Inspiration - Wispy Winter Tree

by Kristal Wick
I love me a good bangle, don't you? Stack em' high or just wear a single, they always feel joyful. When I found this stunning picture of a wispy winter tree, it glistened with silvery snowflakes and I thought it would be great inspiration for a jewelry piece. I adore winter - yes, I know I'm in the minority but a clear, crispy winter walk feeds my soul and this image evokes that very feeling.
At first, I thought it might be too bland to use as inspiration for jewelry but the more I looked at it, the more I realized the hushed, simplistic beauty spoke volumes over some of the loud colors I usually work with. So, I dove in and came up with this bangle.

I made the bangle in a silver tone to reflect the image but you could use any combination of colored wire for a splash of whimsy. Use reds, oranges and yellows for summer fun! It's a quick, easy project and you'll be able to crank out a bunch in a weekend. Your gal pals will want all the colors!
