Guinevere

Last week I came across some beautiful cabochons and just could not resist, so after few days waiting I have received them and instantly ... inspiration came and just after the weekend, I am glad to introduce -

Guinevere




Lavender Queen

One of the biggest works that I have done up till now.
Beaded embroidery set - necklace & earrings - Lavender Queen - the last of the violet theme.










Violet heart

It has been a while since I did any brooch. I don't know exactly why, but I always forget this type of jewelry.



Sweet candy

Sweet candy - that was a fun work to do. Just for a short time, between something big, just when you need to relax and just let it flow..

A small, everyday set of bracelet and necklace - Sweet Candy, that smells of cherries :)



Strange Sunflower

This piece saw its beginning quite a long time ago... and then I have lost my inspiration and didn't knew where to head... So it waited silently until I returned and here it is - Strange Sunflower


Return of the violet

So, after some time and some illness I am back on my feet again and with brand new works.

Again I have returned to violet theme and before leaving it, I have decided to use all my leftovers and make something our of it.
... and this actually was the beginning of Violet Waterfall

Small break

Small break from work. Not intentional in any case, but I am a bit ill at the moment - some difficulties with eyes, so work goes very slowly... and I need to give an extra care not to weaken the eyes...

In any case I use this period for gathering new ideas for the creations and I hope to come back soon with something new and exciting. Actually I'm already stuck in the middle of the process for new necklace and I know I have promised to leave violet color theme alone - but... that's me :) I have just decided to use the beads that I have and leave nothing...

So you should wait for:
- new violet dreams (3 new pieces finished and waiting for a nice weather for photo shoot)
- new big piece of violet necklace - I suppose this one will be the biggest one that I have made up till today (Still in process and awaits for better condition of my eyes).

And you know I have decided that maybe I will do a small give away for my fans... but shh.... it is a small secret and I will tell you later :)

Lavender

Remembering "Passion of red and black" a new piece - "Lavender" was born. This time I have used a calm palette of violet color and returned to free form beading.
I suppose that after some time my violet passion is coming to an end and after I finish some works that are already in process, I will leave this color and move to another one :) Blue? Green? Maybe :)

"Lavender"



Brown Sugar II

After some time I decided to return to Brown Sugar theme. Again it is a necklace and again the same theme, but what can I do?



Celtica

I always think and search for some kind of new challenge for me. First came dimensional beading, then free form beading, and now ... well, I have always admired Celtic art and Celtic knot possibilities and now they came to me as a new challenge - to use Celtic knot design in my bead embroidery piece.

So idea came and then I needed to put some work and to figure out how to make it into reality.
And here it comes - The Celtica - my new necklace.




Violet

Here comes the New Year - it comes and goes sometimes unnoticed, sometimes as exceptional happenings... but in any case - it just comes and we can do nothing about it :)

Christmas period was busy for me - some of my works finally found their new homes and new owners and this small necklace "Violet" is not an exception. Now it remains only in my photos, that I would like to share.

"Violet"
