Friday Finds: Mexican Carnival

I must admit I am familiar with this bracelet as it caught my eye when it was listed!  This week's Friday Finds features this very colourful Mexican Carnival beaded bracelet by AngelqueCreations.   I love the freeform style of the bracelet, the selection of differerent sizes of beads,  the brilliant colours of Mexico and the gold clasp she chose for the fastener.  In her shop you will find creative and colourful beaded items to wear.  Perfect for gifts or to treat yourself!

Curious Color

When designers, artists, and even treasury curators go for a color theme, it's usually something common. Sky blue, leafy green, cherry red are always favorites. Today, the Oh Canada Team presents a collection of treasuries that are simply stunning, and feature some unexpected color palettes.

Natural Beauty

When asked to describe nature, most people will probably think of green things like trees, flowers and grass. Perhaps they will think of animals, who are very likely surrounded by trees, flowers or grass. Although flora and fauna make up huge portions of the nature pie, there are many more things in nature to enjoy that aren't, precisely, green. Mountains, rocks and sand are all important in nature. So are water, clouds and rain. These things are just as beautiful as their living, breathing counterparts.

Deep Natural Beauties, a treasury by Anny May, reminds us just how beautiful nature’s neutrals can be. The deep shades of obsidian, mahogany and jet are simply gorgeous. All of these amazing creations are from our Oh Canada Team members.

And now for something completely different, team member Joanniel shares a whimsical treasury entitled Edible Treats for You, and Your Little Dog, Too! Team member Poocheze’s Gourmet Dog Treats are just what a loyal dog like Toto needs. And if you’re going to treat yourself, why not your best friend, too?

Blue, Indigo, Violet

Whenever three consecutive shades from the color wheel are grouped together, something magical happens. Our eyes are drawn into these deep and layered combinations, seeing the connections, and marveling at how well they compliment each other.

“I’ve Got the Blues” - a treasury by SimpleSundries - has this magical quality. The blues and purples are all different, and yet they blend together beautifully. This pretty blue collection features many Oh Canada team members.
