One of the two inspiration pictures for this month's Margie and Me is this gorgeous close up of balconies in Madrid.  With all of the winter many of you all of had, isn't it fab to dream of this warm locale and the romance that surely must be taking place behind the doors of this wonderful building?  I have had a set of wonderful black vintage art deco style glass beads that, although these balconies are not art deco, screamed to be used, along with some great white coral rounds and some bright yellow triangle beads that match the yellow perfectly.  In my order from Parawire week before last was some black wire which is how I put it all together.



I am fascinated with the word pairings in the thesaurus - check out how this one - it cracked me up.


I had plans for the other inspiration for this month, the Colors of Constructivism, but alas, did not quite get to it...maybe soon.  Head on over to La Bella Joya for links to all taking part in this month's Margie and Me.

  3. Wow Elisabeth that is a perfect match. Well done. I was like you and wanted to do both palettes but didn't quite get there. At least you got one done!

  5. What a gorgeous balcony shot...and your necklace really portrays it so beautifully. You were able to combine all of the elements and colors in such a unique way. Gorgeous, Elisabeth!
    I hope you're enjoying the slopes! My parents took the older kids skiing for the weekend, but close enough to drive.
