My new beaded creation:

Apple with honey

The necklace with two cabochons of simbircite, a rare ancient stone. Simbircite is a warm stone. It gives the energy to the person who carries it. It looks like a piece of sun:)

Cobalt Flower

Embroidered Pendant with czech glass button using tiny cut beads.

Without a Name

I can't find a name for this pendant. It looks like a cake with a cream, isn't it? :))

Two Pendants

I'm very lazy person. This pendant was made about two month ago, but it was bother for me to photograph it.  I made it being inspirited by beautiful works of Laura McCabe.

Lavender

And I loved it so much that immediately made another one:

Ronit

I named it after the name of its new owner, a very pretty and beautiful girl.

There were used Czech glass buttons, Swarovski stones and even vintage stone made in Czechoslovakia!

Mint Ice

Embroidered necklace is made from two parts connected by closures on each side of the neck. There were used vintage Czech glass stones and beads, and tiny Japanese seed beads.

Old Pond Necklace

Very light necklace. You don't feel it on your neck! Perfectly suited for clothes in country style: light blouses and sun-dresses.

Star Drops Against Mossy Wall Necklace

As I have promised I'm posting some more pictures of this necklace. In my opinion it is absolutely universal piece. It is suited for sun-dress as well as for evening décolletage.

Fashion Colorworks 2010 Beading Contest's Finalists

At last today have been published finalists of Fashion Colorworks 2010 Beading Contest! Unfortunately no one of my works reached the final. Here you can see all  finalists entries and vote for the favorite among them. I personally loved three.
Here are my works. I'll make individual posts for each one with more photos shortly.
Old Pond Necklace:

Star Drops Against Mossy Wall Necklace:

Fairies Dance

Here is my last "creation" called Fairies Dance. Tiny bicone beads look like a lot of Tinkerbells dancing in the heart of the forest.
The central pendant is ruby in zoisite. I have bought it a long time ago but I didn't like it too much. At first I didn't plan to add any gemstone to this necklace, however the stone and the necklace were so perfect match, that I decided to include it in my work.

Once in the Spring

At last I can show some complete work. I have bought many, no - VERY many vintage bohemian and Western Germany glass cabochons. These three were made in Western Germany approximately in 1960. That is why I called the necklace "Once in the Spring". I love it so much that I don't sell it to anyone. It is mine! :P

Crazy Agat

At last I have finished this necklace. It was almost ready as early as last month, but because of Chinese custom I couldn't receive my agate beads.
Yes, yes, I know it looks crazy, but the necklace such as the name of gemstone (Crazy Agate). :-)
All seed beads, except olive gold- luster, are 15/0 size. I used it in order to achieve monochromatic effect of each segment.
While I was working on the necklace I watched "X files" (I adore this serial!) and last beads were sewed on simultaneously with ending of ninth season. :-)
I understand that the design is very unusual, therefore feel free saying all what you think about it, even if it is terrible to your mind. :-)

Silver Necklace

Bead Crochet Necklace

It is my first work in bead crochet technique. I made it about a year ago. The big black beads, you can see on the picture, are the little pearls about 3-4mm in diameter.
Here you find an excellent animated tutorial :-)

Garnet Neclace

The necklace was made for my friend on her birthday. In my opinion garnet is a royal gemstone. You don't need invent what to do with it. It is beautiful by its own!

Wood Nymph

Jewelry with your own hands

I was asked to create some pendant for this gold chain. I beaded a small faceted sapphire with 15 size delica 24K gold plated. The technique is peyote.

Gusset Sheet

I made this necklace last year. It took near two month to do it.
It is not my idea. The work was done according the scheme of famous Russian master Galina Pchiolkina. Here you can see her scheme.
