The size of the kids cap is 48 cm.

geographical statistics

I have started playing with beads about 1.5 years ago. At this time I have sold 91 jewelries and accessories. That was interesting to get to know the geography. Most of my items are in Estonia - it's normal, because I live in Estonia too :) On the second place is Russia - russian peoples are very interested in handmade exclusive items. I get only positive feedbacks from russian customers. The USA and Canada are on the 3-rd place - there are living 6 items made by me. In Norway, Sweden and even in Australia are 2 my jewelries. France and Germany have on one jewelry. So I think that is the great achievement for me as a beginner in marketing :)

genuine amber chips long necklace

This necklace is veeeery long, about 140 cm or 55 inches, for my favorite customer. Made of natural amber chips in cognac color. Can be warn simple, or double, or tie it.. Bead size is 4-8 mm.

genuine amber chips earrings

These earrings are simple and graceful. Used genuine amber chips size 4-8 mm and sterling silver ear wires. Earrings are available in 2 colors: honey yellow and cognac on Etsy.

emerald green cuff bracelet

This is not my idea, bracelet designed by Lisa Olson Tune. It's a great design to try herringbone stitch. I was used other materials and modified the clasp. I love made beadwoven clasps like a loop and a button or a loop and a toggle.

Used round beads of Fimo, Swarovski bicones, Toho seed beads and Swarovski rivoli as a button.

beadwoven ring with Swarovski rivoli

I have read in different articles that beadwoven rings are very convenient for wearing. This my first ring with rivoli Swarovski. I wish to test it, how much it is strong and wearable. And this ring really is very pleasant, don't want to put it off from a finger. It does not press, flexible, easily to put on and off from finger, almost it is not felt on a hand. I'm happy with this ring.

Used Swarovski rivoli 14 mm, Toho 11/o and 15/o. Size of ring is 15.5 (I hoped get the size 16, but I did a mistake in weave, so I'm wearing it on a little finger now).

cute little earrings

New listings in my Etsy shop - cute elegant earrings with Swarovski crystals and galvanised Toho seed beads. Used silver/gold plated earwires, but also are available sterling silver or gold-filled earwires.

yummy bracelet

It's a carnelian stone with a twisted wire around. Looks like catched caramel. This semiprecious stone have the beautiful shades from light yellow to dark brown. So honey and sweet.

I made this bracelet for a custom order. I can repeat this work, but your bracelet may vary slightly in the shades, because stones can not be identical in nature ever, but still promises to be stunning.

Many thanks to Margit K. :) She has given me a reference to fantastic source: Ravelry.com. It's an ideal place for those who likes to knit or crochet. What there is remarkable? When I something knit, necessarily I do calculations, sketches, I write down the name and a thickness of a yarn, colour number (on a case if the yarn will not suffice), the name of schemes and sources. In the course of work any cunnings are born, which should be written down to take advantage of them in the future. All these notes exist at my house on the torn off leaflets, in any writing-books and on labels from a yarn which are constantly lost. And now I know that there is a useful site and all notes can be stored in one place :)

The personal page on Ravelry shares on tabs: projects (current projects - what you knit, what yarn use, what scheme, how many it is already executed and so forth, + the finished projects), something of warehouse type (it is possible to note available yarns and needles-hooks at your home), plans (what you are going to knit in the future, what date to whom, from what yarn and so forth), library (your personal schemes and books) and much more. Besides it it is possible to talk with other peoples in forums, to be connected to various groups, to exchange experience. All who like to knit or crochet, I invite to join and find me on the great source of Ravelry :)
