“Red Jasper Challenge”

Description from Mary S - Sweet Chick: I love red jasper and I have quite a bit in my stash. But everytime I go to try and use some of it, I can never come up with eye catching ways to design with it. So far, the best I could do was to use antique brass and champagne & ivory pearls. (LB! We need pearls in these colors, please!!)
Anyone have suggestions on how YOU use red jasper?

Chicky Red-haired Grammy says:Sorry, I don’t either. I keep taking them out and moving them around with other beads and just cannot come up with a pleasing combination. Very frustrating.

Mary S - Sweet Chick says:Ah! You DO understand Grammy!
Hope someone else out there has some ideas!

Fenya says:I would go to the color wheel for help. But I do like Sunny Chicks’ “Rusty Denim” pick. It is a wonderful combination of cool blues with the warm red jasper. I think a teal blue would look wonderful.

Chicky Zee aka Alice says:Lovely indeed. Mary I just finish a red jasper necklaces with carnelian and riverstone with silver findings. I will pst it soon. I love red jasper but have to play around with it,!

Janet Miriam says:This is a beautifdul pick Mary! In the past I have paired carnelian with turquoise, I think the red jasper would look great with turquoise as well!

J Yee smart chick says:Oohh Mary, what a wonderful design question, and LOVE what you’ve put w/ the red jasper here, all those fab warm tones – like the cool chocolate pearls, coppers, brass… okay, love pondering – besides blues, maybe put it together w/ some greens???

Mary S - Sweet Chick says:Thank you all!! You’ve posted some GREAT ideas that have certainly got me thinking outside the box!
Grammy! We have no more excuses! By the time we’re through, there may be no more red jasper in the stash!

Gina P - Delta Chick says:Mary, this challenge was the most fun! You certainly have a lot of great ideas now!

Janet Miriam says:I agree with Gina! This was so much fun! Now I have to look thru my beads, I know I have some that I am at a lost on how to use! More challenges like this would be great!
