Custom order - seahorse

As I have mentioned before - I have received a custom order that was rather a challenge to me and I am glad that I have managed to fulfill the clients wish and she is satisfied with the result.

The color and theme inspiration came from my recent work - necklace "Dreaming seahorses" - the client has contacted me with the question - would I be able to create a small brooch approx. 5 cm size with a shape of seahorse using the same color palette as in the necklace.

Well, the size was a challenge and problem, as the original seahorse is two times bigger than the new one, but giving a try I have created the smallest version that could be bead embroidered and here is the result (I am sorry for the photo quality, but being in hurry I was able to take photos only with a phone).

SEAHORSE

Autumn Fields

I have been doing a lots of small things lately, but most of them are not related to the beading and the ones that are related are still due to some reasons left unfinished :) and may remain for a while.

But this is something small that I've done yesterday, during the sleepless night, something that still takes inspiration from the late autumn colors - a brooch - Autumn Fields.

Materials used: Picasso Jasper, Czech rokajl and preciosa beads, leather backing and safe metal clasp.

True Colors again

True Colors again are fascinating me. I suppose I cannot leave this theme and will be returning to it from time to time.
This time it is a small return - a brooch that I have named - Blue Lagoon

True Colors - Emerald

And another addition to True Colors - Emerald earrings and brooch. And although I am not very fond of making earrings and brooches finally it was quite a fun making them... and I suppose there will be some new additions quite soon.

True colors has no ending

It has been a busy weekend.. Worked hard and made some additions to True Colors collection.
Now here comes Dreaming Grey (brooch and earrings)

After a weekend

It has been a while since I showed my works - been a bit lazy for a while and spend time traveling around Czech Republic and visiting some places. It's been good but now I need to return somehow to my lovely beads.

So first thing, I have received an order to make a duplicate (or more or less similar) brooch for Modesty, so that is how Modesty II was born and my collection true colors received it's idea. I do hate to make similar things, but collection looks more serious and I need to think about the clients too.

so here comes Modesty II (she has its owner already and can't wait to meet her).

Modesty

It has been a while since for the last time I did my beloved bead embroidery and dimensional beading.
So now after a 2 months soutache classes I feel that I need to go back a bit and relax :)
And when you think of it opportunity arises itself - I got a small request from a friend to create violet color embroidered brooch - "just make it modest enough" :)

So here it is - Modesty -

Tenderness

Soutache brooch "Tenderness". Crackled glass cabochon, Czech glass pearls, preciosa beads.

Pearl dream

A small creation and I am afraid I am not much into making brooches. Don't know why... But sure to change that soon.
And now here is the Pearl Dream - and it is glad to have a new owner :) I suppose that this one made quite good birthday gift :)

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.

Grannie's emeralds

After some period of silence new works. And first one for the Emerald collection - green brooch.
