More Tiffany

Seems there is less and less time, but I'm still trying squeeze some time for jewelry to busy schedule and realize all the ideas I have. Don't rather think that spring weather is around the corner :-)

Tiffany technique pendants








My first bead crochet

Of course I had to try bead crochet, long ropes that can be with different pattens. Mine is just mess of colors but will come to pattern one day :-)


 

Spiky Balls earrings with necklace (carnelian gem.in the center)


Sun face pendant









Autumn

Two different bracelets in same colors.






Busy days...

Past few months were really busy with work, traveling to Europe and also getting ready to start attending on artists markets. Hopefully I'll have more time now to update blog and post new pictures. Tubes of beads and cabochon are still on my table, just love working with colors. But I have also learned new technique that is called Tiffany. This technique is actually used for joining glass and making beautiful windows or ornaments
( Wikipedia glasswork ) and can be also used for making jewelry. Jewelry is made of lead free tin (97%tin and 3%silver). I was really excited to lean something new and now I struggle between beads and playing with tin :-)
