Welcome to the october 2021
Pretty Palette design challenge!

This month's Pretty Palette is inspired by the following image from Lena Gillespie of Lena Gillespie Designs. She captured the fallen leaves on a rainy day in her home town of  Ajax, Ontario, in Canada. Just look at the finely veined leaves and how the colors melt into one another. What a sensational image!

This month's Pretty Palette features a bold semiprecious amethyst pendant and beads, tiny pearls in fall colors and coordinating dyed shell. Eleven different types and colors of fire-polished faceted rounds give you variety along with symmetry, and crackled semiprecious agate rounds provide a lovely texture. Use the dark green enameled chain as a base layer, or take it apart and use it as colorful links in earrings, bracelets, and necklaces! 

This Pretty Palette encourages you to set aside some time for yourself and "Leaf" everything else behind while you create. 

Click any of the individual "Leaf" It All Behind beads from the list on the right to get a closer look or add to your cart! Best of all, individual bead strands and the full kit are 30% off during the rest of the month of October, so don't wait to get yours! Our Pretty Palette kits sell out fast!
    *You can buy the entire collection with one click.
    *You can browse the collection and choose which you'd like to add to your own collection.
