Black is beautiful

Well, the title of this post is actually a bit of an irony, because I'm a huge colour lover and quite anti-black myself. It was a self-challenge moment, I guess.

Chained Valentine

Finally I managed to use that chain! Took a lot of tries though.

The flower is inspired from a model on beadinfinitum.

Dark elegance

O incercare de a fi ceva mai simpla... intr-un mod complicat, bineinteles!

Boboci de primavara

 

Imi doresc de multa vreme sa realizez floarea care alcatuieste centrul acestui colier (model de pe www.beadinfinitum.com), dar nu am avut niciodata cele 5 feluri de margele-picatura cehesti necesare.  In sfarsit, am facut rost de ele, am fost teribil de incantata si... ce urma sa fac cu floarea?! A zacut pe masa mea vreo doua saptamani pana cand intr-un acces de inspiratie intr-o seara am adunat tot ce am gasit roz si verde si alb prin sertare: perle, margele roz tip ochi-de-pisica, scoici de forma neregulata sau in forma de picaturi. Si rezultatul este un colier care pare atins de magia primaverii...

 

I've been wishing for a long time to make the flower in the center of this necklace (from www.beadinfinitum.com), but I never owned the 5 types of czech drop beads necessary for it. Finally I ordered and got them, I was terribly pleased, and... what was I going to do with that flower?! It laid on my table abandoned for about 2 weeks until I had a sudden moment of inspiration and got out everything I could find pink and green and white in my drawers: pearl, pink beads looking like cat-eyes, seashells shaped liked tears or green and irregular. And the result is a necklace kissed by the magic of spring...

All in black

 

 

3 pairs of earrings, a brooch and a bracelet. A custom order that was a real challenge, as I usually don't like black at all! I played with shades, though; from matte black to hematite and very dark brown, and I think the result is really elegant. I like the bracelet in particular; it is double-layered in places, very intricate, and it took a lot of work!
