Victorian Earrings for Mom

beadwoven victorian earringsWhen I get a package with ordered glass beads from Helmetuba, there was a little surprise - two lovely connectors in antique gold. My mom liked them very much. So I have executed her wish and beadweaved these earrings. Used czech faceted glass beads, Toho seed beads and vermeil gold earwires.

Miami Platja in Spain

Miami Platja in Spain My dear sister and her husband left Estonia. Forever. Two weeks ago they went to Spain. They were traveling by car 2500 miles (4000 kilometres)! They found a very beautiful town in Spain - Miami Platja, rented an apartment and today is 2nd day they live there.

Wish them good luck at their new place :)

Great Finds: packaging on Etsy


Sometimes I'm thinking about packaging: how to package the jewelry that is safety, unbroken and beautiful on a shipping. I love the square boxes, but sometimes they are a little bit expensive for any 10 dollars earrings. So I pack some inexpensive item in a gift organza bag or made a pillow box, hang a tag, attach my business card and wrap all of them into bubble bag. This package I put into a bubble mailer envelope. I think this way is most safety for any jewelry :)

green and silver necklace

emerald and malachite green necklace with Swarovski This summer green color necklace is a custom work. My customer wished that necklace should contain 30 malachite green beads. I have added some emerald green Swarovski beads and Toho seed beads (galvanised silver and emerald green). The necklcae is 45 cm long + 4 cm extension chain. I love the combination of cold and warm shades of green.

crocheted doilies as coasters

crocheted doilies by Lariata Some of little doilies look like lacy pancakes :) I have crocheted them using white 100% cotton yarn. Pattern is available for free on my favorite web: MyPicot.com. I have modified last two rows a little bit. So this doily measures about 13 cm (5").

crocheted coaster by Lariata The crocheted doily can be used as a coaster or a jam-jar cover. It's pretty, isn't it?

Dancing Fan Necklace

bridal or wedding necklace Dancing Fan
Cute necklace completes the set with these earrings. Center pieces are so small and delicate as the pieces in the earrings. St.Petersburg chain is also gentle. Clear and golden beads give to the set a bridal kind.

Great Finds: coasters on Etsy

coasters on Etsy
This is a new heading with the name Great Finds in my blog. I hope to update it monthly. And first items are coasters. Just tiny and cute pieces in houseware. These can be crocheted, sewed, made of paper and wood. I think the coasters will add a little celebratory spirit. I'm very inspired with and have started crochet some coasters for my home.
