Gala earrings

I made those earrings as a gift for my cousin. They turned out very stately and majestic.

Swarovski crystals, Miyuki Delica Palladium Plated, 925 Sterling Silver findings.

Lucky Andy - Bronze Dragon

Today one of the pleasant orders was shipped. A couple weeks ago a nice lady wrote me that she was interested in the White Dragon bracelet that I made. She asked to make the same, but in different color. The communication was so pleasant, and the color that was chosen was bronze.

I was very thrilled to start, because the orders for beadweaving challenge and inspire me.

Some pictures of the process:

Choosing eye color

The eyes were chosen, but the body turned to be too curvy- the customer wrist was small, and I tightened the thread too much, so it curled for a very tine bracelet. So I weaved it from the beginning.

 Actually it took a few readaptations till it laid on the wrist perfectly. But finally I was completely satisfied with the size.

Maybe because the piece has a head, when I finished, I gave him a name - Lucky Andy, because he reminds me a sweet puppy.
I made the dragon a home, so he will have his own nest:)

Some technical details - Magatama color - Miyuki LMA-457, 45gr. Miyuki 8-9457L light bronze, 12gr, Miyuki 11-9457L light bronze, 2gr. 2 Green Swarovski bicones 4mm. Beige Miyuki delica beads for teeth.Memory wire inside.

UPD: Here is a review I got:

Argyle necklace

This necklace was created for the Etsy Beadweavers Team February challenge on the theme Warmth. Please visit our team blog, http://www.etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.co.il/2014/02/voting-for-february-warmth-challenge.html between the 9th and 15th of April and vote for your favorite entry.

The argyle pattern is derived from the tartan of Clan Campbell, of Argyll in western Scotland, used for kilts and plaids, and from the patterned socks worn by Scottish Highlanders since at least the 17th century. 
This pattern is always associated with warmth and cosiness of wool sweaters and socks. I chose to knit it in the necklace, in warm pleasant colors. 
The necklace is made with crochet knitting technique. Is flexible and smooth, and will make an classic accent to your each day wearing. Magnet clasp snaps easily.
You can find it in my store.

Black and White - timeless classics

Celtic knots always interested me. How a simple straight piece can be transformed into such beauty. Crocheted ropes as if specially created for realization of this transformation.  Josephine knot is one of my favorites. It is simple in its loveliness.

The necklace turned impressive, solid, but not intrusive. As a symbol of black and white connection, showing that everything entangles, and there is nothing unambiguous.

This necklace was created for the Etsy Beadweavers Team January 2014 "Rising Star" Contest. Please visit our team blog, http://www.etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.co.il/2014/01/voting-for-january-2014-rising-star.html between the 9th and 15th of January and vote for your favorite entry.

Frozen lariat

Winter at the door and here comes Frozen set - lariat and bracelet. Transparent beads on a blue thread give an effect of hoarfrost, and large facetted blue beads in the tassels add the cold water appearance. But all the cold is only the perception - the set is very flexible, soft and shiny. Pleasant smoothness causes to feel and touch.
You can find it in my Etsy store, or convo me.

We have a stormy cold weather now, and even a little frost on the car:

It doesn't happen every winter, so it is a kind of "event" :)

Meanwhile, I miss the real snow - no wind,  silence and large snowflakes slowly falling down.

Sort of those snowflakes on my office window cheer me a little :)
