Calling these evening dusk, or purple gloaming, or even violet sunset is really stretching the theme, but I do feel the lavender morning, sky blue, and purple abstracts constitute a triad of sorts.

Like the sky blue beads, these are typically made on a clear or pale purple (any of 080, 082, or 046). These are shown with silver leaf, and that's typical, but they look nice with any metallic leaf (except copper, I guess...) They're usually trailed with fine black threads but not always; sometimes I put pixie dust on them.
