Inspiration

After Finishing my Battle of Beadsmith'2014 piece I constantly have this feeling that all my works should, must have strong topic, a message. It's like I couldn't let myself do something light, something reflecting the moment. 

Perhaps this is the reason why I have so many unfinished ideas.

I promised myself I won't start another project until all the rest are done. But today I happened to visit Toho Shoji and get this amazing agate.

It's huge and heavy, but I couldn't resist. 

Even though I still have some other work to do I started developing the idea of a bracelet with this agate... 

Choosing colors kinda went out of control and I suddenly realized I already have a topic for this work. And this was so easy and breezy;) the stone is about the picture I see every day in my window:

All these sunset colors, unbelievably bright, surprisingly deep, all the beauty of the city. 

This is what this bracelet should be. 

New York is truly one of my biggest inspirations!

This necklace features coral fossil, agate geode, swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls, crystal beads with opal coat.

Stunning piece for very beautiful bride.

In process

I like pictures of beading process, of jewellery in progress, watching separate pieces coming together, creating unrepeatable composition.

Since I hope to take part in some competitions in the nearest future, I can't allow myself to post any new jewellery.. But i can't stop taking pictures either, so here are some 'in progress' sneak picks:
