Almost every person has a favorite color and style for their clothes and jewelry items. Color and style are some of the factors that will influence you when you begin shopping for beads.
Consider your style sense, whether you prefer formal or casual, simple, complicated or bold styles.
Good bead work designs revolve around these choices. Color matching of beads and clothes forms a large part of beaded jewelry making.
Although there are no hard and fast rules these factors will play a large part in your design choices.
To help with your color choices purchase a color wheel so that you can compare different color groupings.
Red, yellow and blue are primary colors, whilst green, orange and purple are secondary colors.
Within the wheel the main pairs of colors are yellow and purple, red and green and blue and orange.
Don't allow your color choices to be limited., choose other complimentary selections. Consider groupings in nature for some ideas, you will find great combination ideas you'll be able to use.
Whenever you design a piece of beaded glass jewelry in a certain style for yourself or a friend consider the dimensions of the item. Is it for a young girl, yourself or someone else?
Do the beads need to be small, medium or large to match the person?
What are their favorite shades? Think about the season, summer, fall, winter or spring. Design your jewelry to reflect the season and seasonal colors.

As you begin to experiment and define your style you will find that you'll naturally consider these and other questions as you progress.
When you select glass beads for a design give consideration to not using the same colored beads but perhaps, beads from that very same range moving from light to dark.
You'll be able to break the design up through the use of spacers or silver or gold seed beads.
For contrast you should utilize different types of glass and metal beads to produce an original design style.
Before starting your piece lay you beads out and check combinations, it is possible to loosely string them and see how they look and what changes you may need to make.
Check your selected findings against the beads to determine they match and are the proper size.
Always buy slightly more beads than you require, many glass beads are dyed in batches and a new batch can be a slightly different shade and may not exactly match your design.
