This 2nd Annual Challenge of Color Blog Hop, hosted by Erin of Treasures Found-Inspiration is Everywhere, brings together 54 of us beader bloggers. Each one of us chose a color and then were given a color palette built around our main color choice. Erin took on a massive undertaking and worked with 12 of these color palettes, you have got to check out her gorgeous results.
This is my color palette, a challenging Frosted Berry!
The unique color palettes used in this challenge are created by Jessica Colaluca of Design Seeds.
Check out her blog for some great color inspiration.
And this is what I created... literally... cool, icy, beautiful frosted berries.
This challenge was meant for us to use the color palette and take inspiration from the color combinations, but I could not get beyond the image of frosted berries.
So there you have it 'Frosted Berries'!
We were allowed to use any kind of beads we wanted to and as I am partial to natural stones, that is what I used. The bracelet is made with round red Coral berries, melon shaped Ocean Jasper beads, carved clear Crystal Quartz and sterling silver links and clasp.

That is just stunning!! I love your interpretation - really beautiful!
simply stunning, wonderful take on your palette title and your piece is beautiful
Regina, I love your color palette, and your bracelet is stunning. The melon beads are beautiful, but it's the red coral that really makes this piece so special.
I love how the whole thing looks like a branch of berries. The coral beads give it a pop of color and the melon beads lend that nature feel. So pretty.
What a beautiful pallet for this time of year and you piece is lovely!
Love the frosted berries! Neat melon beads. Great job.
Yes the bracelet is truly "... cool, icy, beautiful frosted berries." High Five
I love this! I love the contrast of the clear, icy beads with the earthy taupe and gray ones, and that flash of fire engine red just makes it. Lovely, simple design, with a definite wintry feel but warmth as well.
When Erin first gave out the palettes, I'll admit I was envious of yours - love the red with the icy neutrals! Your bracelet not only fits the color palette, but also the icy mood of it. Perfect!!
Oh Miss Regina! You not only translated the color palette so perfectly, but the inspiration picture as well! Wonderful! I am so glad that you played along with me. Thank you for taking on the challenge of color with me!
Enjoy the day.
Erin

Wow - this is really pretty and it really reflects the photo in the picture!!! Great capture of the palette!
Oh yum! You really pulled this off beautifully. I adore the neutral-ness of your bracelet with that bright pop of red mixed in. I know that's completely the palette given to you, but you really made it shine!
I really like your interpretation of your color palette. Fantastic design, clean, fun and the pops of color work beautifully!
Oh Regina, I love what you created! It's so true to your style and a perfect blend of colors from your color palette! A++ dear friend!

Great job incorporating your colors into this lovely bracelet. The berries add a fantastic pop of color, and the graduated colors of the ocean jasper is lovely. Beautiful!
Simple and oh so elegant. It's something that I would wear to a holiday party.
Thank you ladies for all your lovely comments. I am so happy you like the design and my choice of beads. I am home from work, dinner is done and I am off to check out all the others beaders and their creations to this challenge.
That turned out great. I love that pop of color with the red in it. What a wonderful palette and great job.

It totally speaks of winter to me. I love those melon beads too!
Your bracelet looks just like Frosted Berries. Great job!
Wow! That is so totally beautiful! I love how you let the red rule the roost. You so hit the palette, and the design is just superb.
