This series is a representation of beaded versions of the Spring 2018 fashion colors. Each addition highlights one of the 2018 Spring colors. Each of the entries will vary in style and composition.
Note: Artistic license was used to create these entries in the Spring 2018 Fashion Series, so the hue or tone may not exactly match each of the colors. This entry highlights the 2018 Spring color Arcadia.
The design was done using Ellad2's Saba Bracelet pattern and her Naya Earrings pattern. While the Naya Earrings pattern is not a perfect match to the Saba Bracelet, it uses many of the same bead types and nicely compliments the bracelet design.
