I get ideas from all kinds of places, but one of my favorite games is to find a photograph, or a page in a catalog, or a swatch on a color blog (Creative Holly Color or Color-Collective, for example) and try to match vintage Lucite beads to my source. It's sort of like doing a puzzle - it often takes me several tries to get four or five colors or tones into an arrangement that actually echoes the source image. I think it's fun. I'm nerdy that way. Here are some colorstories that turned into necklaces:

Very pretty combinations. I was stalking outfits on Anthropologie the other day, trying to find color combinations for my glass beads.
I Loooove the nostalgia beach umbrella combo!

that definitely sounds like a ton of fun! I never even thought of doing that before. I'd always wondered how you came up with your amazing color combos. :)
