Northstar
Project Map
Project by Janice Parsons
Sample by Kate Richbourg
Originally a kit, Kate created each sample with the beauty of Tahoe in mind. Northstar is a collection of Pacific blues, cyan, and silver tones reminiscent of the lake and snowy ski slopes! Leather, beads, and crimps...such a simple recipe with such outstanding results! Tahoe, one of our classic designs, gets a makeover today with Kate's curated tribal mixes (a kit-exclusive) in three limited-edition kit colorways.
Taking cues from the scenery around the beloved Lake Tahoe that inspired this project so many years ago, Kate had-selected three colorways for us. This beautiful blue, Northstar, takes its name from the mountain ski resort nestled in the Martis Valley in California. A blend of Gooseberry and Asana beads from Ghana make up this curated bead mix, which will look stunning strung on and surrounded by the Pacific leather Kate hand-picked especially for this kit.
