Creative Color Challenge #1 Winner | Deepwater Dance

Описание: The Creative Color Challenge has a winner, and today I’m bringing the results to life with a brand new jewelry design. In this video, I create the Deepwater Dance earrings using the winning color palette from the Creative Color Challenge poll. This ocean-inspired combination features rich blues, flowing movement, and dramatic contrast, resulting in a pair of earrings that feel both elegant and dynamic.

You’ll see my full design process from start to finish as I translate a color card into a finished pair of earrings. I walk through my bead and component choices, explain how the colors work together, and share design decisions along the way. This challenge is all about learning how to confidently work with color, whether you’re designing from a kit, your own stash, or a curated collection.

The Creative Color Challenge is a monthly series where the community votes on color combinations, and the winning palette becomes both a featured tutorial and a limited collection in my Etsy shop. Even if you’re not following along with the collection, this video is packed with inspiration you can apply to your own jewelry designs.

If you enjoy jewelry tutorials, color theory for makers, and design-focused projects, you’re in the right place. Be sure to watch through to see how this winning palette transforms into the finished Deepwater Dance earrings.
