Description
Not every bead needs to make a statement. The bridge bead does something quieter — it manages the relationship between your colours, gives them room, and stops them fighting for attention.
This free printable guide is the companion to The Bridge Bead episode on the Beadesign YouTube series. Work through it alongside the video, or use it as a standalone reference any time you're planning a palette.
What's inside:
- The four neutral families — metallic, black, white/cream, and grey — and what each one actually does to a palette
- A 60/30/10 palette planning page to map your own colours
- A "see the difference" comparison page showing one palette styled three ways with three different bridges
- Design notes pages with prompts to carry the thinking into your own projects
Print it, work through it in pencil, and keep it in your project folder for next time you're stuck on a palette.
📺 Watch the companion episode: The Bridge Bead, only on Beadesign by On A String.
