Adding a color element for continuity

Victoria and I have been discussing how to integrate color into her Project 2. She designed a color palette of red, white and blue for her Project 1 and feels strongly about this palette. Until this discussion, she was having difficulty figuring out how to integrate color. Her bracelet concept is about robotics and contains lots of metal objects and symbols. We discussed using kinetic elements by integrating dangling beads. She tested out many ideas by drilling holes and adding beads hanging in the negative space of the washers. But nothing worked. She finally figured out to add the beads to the jump rings. A perfect solution. Not overwhelming the design, but adding just enough of color to build continuity between her projects.
