Hi everyone! I hope you are having a lovely saturday today, wherever you are. Of course, if it's past saturday when you read this, I hope that day is lovely, too! Today seems as good as any to roll out an idea I've had brewing for some time…

Weekly thread palettes! Even if I don't have a WIP or finished project to show you all, I'll have a weekly post (which will be every Saturday, timing may vary) to inspire you and get those creative juices flowing! The series will be called Play of Colors, and is a play on my last name, Schiller, which in fact translates literally into "play of colors!"

Fun fact, schiller is also a mineral property, seen in stones like labradorite, sunstone, and moonstone. It's the shifting play of light just beneath the surface of these minerals. I chose my last name a few years ago, and when I learned that Schiller translates to "play of colors," I knew I had found the perfect surname. An artist's name. I think there's a lot of power in that, and wanted to honor it in my work.

I hope you enjoy this series of palettes, whether you use the thread colors to stitch something, are inspired to create in another medium, or simply appreciate the aesthetics of the colors together. So, without further ado… let's get started!

From top to bottom, and from left to right, the colors depicted are:

309 -- 729 -- 597 814 -- 561 -- 3816 3371 -- 433 -- 3863

All threads used in this series are DMC six-strand cotton embroidery floss. I'll be using the #playofcolors tag for these posts!

May inspiration find you, today and every other day! 💖

I am gushing over these Ethiopian faceted rondel beads with faceted black spinels that glitter like diamonds. Black Spinel is often used as a substitute for black diamonds because the refractive index is relatively high when compared to other black stones besides diamonds. We have three of these necklaces available. They measure 17” with a 2.5” extender. The opals play of color is spectacular in the light and every rainbow color you can imagine is visible. Opal instills faithfulness and loyalty while black Spinel provides grounding and protection. To claim, comment, Mine with the letter.

Caring For Opals - How to Clean, Care & Store Opal Jewelry

Beautiful gemstones, they are prized not only due to their beauty but also because of their magical powers: good fortune, better mental clarity, protection, love and marital harmony, and good health to their wearers. The outstanding play-of-colors on the surface of the gem makes it completely cherished and most often used in designing very beautiful jewelry pieces. Well, handling your opal gemstone jewelry should be of much care; they are soft stones on the Mohs scale and are as soft as 5.5 – 6.5. The delicate surface and general properties will always require special care for the long lifespan of your well-kept opals.
