With Love...

I created these heart-shaped earrings for My Czech Beads competition prepared by Preciosa Ornela.

The theme of the month for January is 'With Love...'

This is my vision of jewelry full of love.

Materials used: Czech seed beads (rocailles, 3-cut beads) and beads, nylon cord, findings. And as you see I used three colors of 3-cut beads to make the ombre effect.

Macrame and Beadwork

Purple, gold, bronze... love these colors :-)

The micro macrame bracelet made of Czech seed beads (iris color), glass beads, nylon cords (C-lon bead cord and Chinese knotting cord).

And the earrings are with biwa pearls and chips.

Bugle Beads

Half an hour ago I've received a letter from Preciosa Ornela. Thank you!

I really like to use bugle beads in the making of earrings.

For example:

Water and Earth

Tribal style in dark colors.

As always I used Czech seed beads and beads, a bit of Toho bugle beads, Miyuki Delica beads, nylon cord, findings.

To compare

I associate the dark earrings with water and earth, the light ones with fire and air.

Love Picasso

Bright bohemian and a bit rustic earrings.

Materials used: Czech beads and seed beads (rocaille and farfalle), nylon cord, Miyuki Delica beads, findings.

These wonderful Czech Picasso beads were a gift from my husband.
