Effetre Antique Green and faded cottage chic

Boy, it's been awhile since I've updated this blog.  It has been a real wintery winter here in the Toronto area and I have the blahs.  In a effort to brighten up my outlook, I made of set of beads with some of my favourite faded beach colours.  Warm sandy beige, earthy sage, and pale watery turquoise.  This set started with one of my current favourite colours, Effetre Antique Green.  This is a pale watery turquoise that can look either greenish or bluish depending on what you pair it with.  In this case, I've added Effetre Sage Green (this is the machine pulled version which although isn't quite as nice a colour as the hand-pulled, doesn't explode on me when I use it), CIM Vanilla Latte, an incredible warm, creamy beige and CIM Butter Pecan Unique #4, a very pale, off white.  Altogether, they give that wonderful, slightly sandy, cottage chic effect.

I just got a boat load of new glass so I'm hoping to be posting new sets in the near future.
