Autumn … again

This time: a sunny day and blue sky through the golden crowns of trees.

Indian Summer

Bright green, orange and, of course, gold; a little bit of cool lilac and watery transparent. The golden leaves and a dragonfly, lost in time. The last dragonfly of this summer.

Lost

I’ve found it yesterday - the last season of “Lost”. Now I can see it before it’ll be shown on the local TV.

One more and that will be all … I think.

This necklace is a gift for my sister as well.
A rectangular cabochon of dark-blue pietersite, Czech and Japanese seed beads.
I am very pleased with the result: pendant looks very smart. But it wasn’t easy to make a good photo of it. The pendant seems to be not too photogenic :)

There is summertime and our vacation is close, very close – only five days away. Those few last days I’m using to make some presents for my family. Two necklaces with pendants, which I finished last week, will go to my mother in law and my sister.

The colors of sea freshness and summer coolness

Before

and after

The necklace is made like a very simple bead chain. Blue, white, turquoise and silver – the colors of sea freshness and summer coolness.

Two-month delay

Golden sunrays are melting blue-gray ice. And although there are still plenty snow around, that’s March – the first month of spring.

Good luck, Latvia!

My best wishes, Aija!

Sunny necklace

An Agalala lace necklace.
White and gold beads and morning sun rays.

So, here it is – my first BIG bead embroidery

I’ve named this necklace The Master.
A big powerful bird is flying over the mountains, forests - over land and water.

It’s The Master of Nature and a part of it.

New and big

My new project is finished. It’s a necklace in embroidery technique.
And the necklace is big; bigger, than everything, I’ve made before.
So it’s a little step forward for me.
Now I only need to take photos of my new work, so I can show it here. Until that – two photos of the components: two small parts and the backside of the central part.

A Spring necklace

A bouquet

Just a spot of bright colors. I’ve got these lovely flowers from our friends at their latest visit to us. My husband made this photo (by his new camera), and now I have it in my blog.

By the way: I’ve change the colors of my blog – now it’s DARK.

A bracelet

This is my first bracelet with a metal blank inside of it.
I have used the same colors of the beads as in the heart-pendant, so they can be worn together.

No time for beading

We have recently adopted two cats. Last week - a little kitten only 8 weeks old. Yesterday – a young female around 2 years old.
It seems like the little one thinks I’m its mom and is lying on my chest all the time, unless of course it’s not busy playing. It’s so sweet and so smart!

Another cat is very beautiful and sweet too, but she is quite shy and tries to hide all the time.

They aren’t friends yet, but they are working on it. They are still hissing on each other, but not too much.
The problem is that I can’t work with my beads, it’s absolutely impossible. I miss it so much!

A necklace with hematite

It’s very shiny and sparkling, just right for the New Year’s Eve.

I know, it should be something in black and orange. But I wanted to make a necklace with a hematite for a long time.

I’ve also made earrings, so I’ve a hematite set now.

A kerchief

My new work – a beaded necklace "Kerchief".

I used three colors of Czech seed beads and small glass beads.

I like the result and the colors. They are just right for summer.
