Butterfly of Love

That's finished gift for my dear sister to a special day in her life :) She likes this necklace very much, so I'm happy :D

Some details: peyote leaves made of transparent 11/o Toho seed beads. I was afraid that I can't bead with size like 15/o or smaller. St.Petersburg chain is also beaded. Embellished with golden butterfly (approx. 3 cm), she's flying :)

Treasury "Shiny Stars"

Today I'm featured with my beaded necklace Lucky Star on Etsy in treasury "Shiny Stars" made by photovalle. Thank you very much, Natalia :) I'm so happy :)

it must be something very beautiful

Leon and my dear sister Ann - they will be wedding very soon :) I want to gift her something gentle, feminine, but I'm afraid I can't.. or I will not be in time..

about design of an interior and bookmarks

Not all people use the Internet. It is sometimes pleasant to take the usual book made of paper and to read some favourite story in evening. For example, I very love detective stories - Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle or something awful like Edgar Allan Poe..

And my lovely handmade bookmarks can mark your place in a book without damaging the pages :) Also bookmarks can be used for decoration. Place some in random books on your shelves for a fun look!

Bookmarks are available on Lariata.etsy.com

summer flowers in jewelry

Sometimes is great to create something very easy like these cute earrings. Just some findings, add a little of Lucite beads and voilà - shick earrings are made :) On the first picture are long dangle Trumpet Flower Earrings - lilac and sunny yellow, about 8 cm in length. Another pair of earrings are about 4 cm long, I named them Ruffle Flowers:

And last ones - Bells, about 5.5 cm. Used brass findings, Lucite beads and a good mood :)

handmade linen towels

This is a gift for my dear grandmother, who lives in Sankt-Petersburg, Russia. Two towels measures are about 35x60 cm, sewed of linen fabric, crocheted cotton lace and embellished with cute butterfly (machine embroidery). I hope that grondmother is happy and her strong health will allow her to come to Estonia at this autumn.
