flower mood

This lovely green summer bracelet was a custom work, my first experiment with dangle bracelet embellished with charms. Here are about 30 charms, I added two large flower for an asymmetrical look. Used vintage Lucite flowers and filigree brass findings.

Also I made these cute earrings in the same color:

..and in rainbow colors too:

rich and glamour

This necklace 'Spring Garden' with lovely green beaded beads I made for mother's schoolmate, who lives in St. Petersburg. In this city are many beautiful palaces. In the last century on these roadways and quays there went horses with carriages and in palaces lives tsar. It's all it was rich, satiny glamour and with gold shine.

So I was inspired with this imperial palace in Peterhof (Petrodvorets), often referred like "the Russian Versaille":

Forest green, ever green

Crocheting with seed beads is very funny! I love this deep green color. Bracelet is very flexible, embellished with little charms: cute butterfly and small heart is saying "Made with love" :)

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 :)

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 :)
