Scarab flight

I've been busy, I've been lazy and I had so few time to do things that I love.
My precious little bug is taking all the time that I have and not much time left for the crafts although I cannot say, that I have been lazy... just the work goes slowly and not mentioning the photo shoots :)

Well, I have sold two pieces recently, my soutache brooch "Tenderness" went to USA, one small necklace went to the lady in Prague (this one I even did not get the chance to take photo... )

And a few other new pieces were made - one of them necklace Scarab Flight

This time I have used - hand made polymer clay cabochon that I have made myself (it just has been waiting for its time), glass bicones, Czech rokajl and preciosa beads, natural leather backing and magnetic clasp.

Techniques: bead embroidery and bead weaving.

A bit of Victorian style

It has been quite a while. Not that I haven't been working - but I suppose too many changes at a time and too less of time for my favorite beading.
I've been creating a few things that took me to some sort of experimentation - silk and metallic ribbon. These two went into two different creations that share the same color palette, details and, well ... name.

Victorian Rose necklace - Size of the bead embroidered resin cabochon - 7 x 5.5 cm. Length of the silk and beads cord ~ 50 cm.

Materials used - resin cabochon, Czech man made pearls, Czech glass drops, Preciosa twin beads, toho and Preciosa seed beads, silk, natural leather backing, magnetic clasp.

Victorian bracelet - Length of the bead embroidered bracelet - 18 cm, width - 7 cm.

Materials used - resin cabochon, Czech man made pearls, Preciosa twin beads, toho and Preciosa seed beads, metallic ribbon, natural leather backing, wide magnetic clasp.

Etsy and more about Etsy

It has been a while since I've started my shop on Etsy. At the moment not much luck with it, only "Black Betty" was sold here. But now I am glad to see that finally, I am getting some more visibility.

Thank you for Vicky Diane and Ruta for including me into their fabulous treasury lists that I would like to share:

School of colors - Eagle spirit

Not so long ago, our Lithuanian beaders and bead lovers have created a new FB group to share inspirations, ideas on how to and have fun :)
One part of our fun was creating the school of colors and color perception. We decided to learn how to look our of the box and mix different colors.
First lesson asked to take one cab and use a bit of imagination and describe the feeling and association it brings.

My one had gave me a true dream of mountains, blue sky and eagles fly free. A true inspiration of Indian spirit the true spirit of the king of birds - Eagle.

Earrings and more

After giving some time into a creation worth sea queen, I decided that the necklace lacks earrings.. so in the end I came up with ones for the Queen and the others that bead no name :)
