One Crayon Color Challenge

Written By: admin - May• 05•12

Here’s the reveal day for the One Crayon Color Challenge. Thanks to Sally Russick for hosting the hop.

One Crayon Color Challenge

I’m not sure why I selected the color orange. I’m really fond of certain shades and tones of orange, mainly rust colors, but flat out orange always seems a bit too bright and obnoxious to me. While scouting out some information about the color orange, here’s what I found out:

Orange is a power color. It is one of the healing colors. 

Put some orange in your life when you want:

• to spice things up when you feel time is dragging

• to become more involved in something

• to increase creativity

• relief from things becoming too serious    

Wearing orange during times of stress, or shock can help to balance your emotions. It can bring about the willingness to embrace new ideas with enjoyment and a sense of exploration and creative play (excerpted from http://crystal-cure.com/orange.html.)

    Gorgeous, vibrant and warm, colours!

  15. Jenna says:

    Oh my goodness, I love that design. It’s so fun! I generally stay away from any kind of bead weaving/knot tying thing (no patience!), but I wanna learn how to do that!

  16. Holly says:

    Oh my goodness…I’m so in love with your bracelets it’s not even funny! The colors all play so nicely together.

  17. Pixiloo says:

    Wow! Just wow! At first I thought that was one big bracelet and couldn’t figure out how you sewed them together. Stacking bracelets makes more sense. 🙂 I just adore those. You do such beautiful work.

  18. Cherrie Fick says:

    Snazzy. That is what comes to mind. Cool design!!

  19. Oh.My.Gosh! That’s gorgeous! What a fantastic job!

  23. Heather P. says:

    I love how these dance on your wrist. They are amazing!!!

  24. Wow- that is truly amazing. I looked into micro macramé but didn’t think I would have the patience to learn it. BUT when I see this I think I would sit still for a long time in order to make something this beautiful. You have my attention!

  25. Marti C. says:

    Love, love, love!!!

  26. Bobbie says:

    There is some really nice work in this challenge, but your bracelet made me stop and gasp — it’s truly spectacular. Who wouldn’t feel a surge of energy and strength with this beauty on their arm?!!

  28. Lola says:

    Oh wow … these are amazing! I do believe these are the happiest bracelets I’ve ever seen. LOVE them!

  29. Jen V. says:

    This is absolutely the coolest piece of jewelry I’ve seen in ages!!! Macrame always makes me happy because it makes me think of great second grade projects…plus, orange is, as you say, “spicy” and “power” all together. I want it!
    Ciao!
