Spring is finally here

Finally I returned in Italy! I love bright colors of the spring in the air and smell of blooming  flowers. They bring so much positive energy.  I feel me full of inspiration. 
These are photos of blooming succulent plants on my balcony:

   

I'm currently experimenting with combining different materials and techniques.

When I first started designing jewelry, I never imagined that I would be making handmade rings. All that changed one day when my friend asked if I ever made rings and I made one for she as a Cristmas gift. So now I created this ideal accessory for spring and summer. This is the red hand crochet rose with vintage bead in the center.  You can ask what is the difference with others crochet rings? That I combine it with the leather flower. I like this ring very much and of course I will make others!

 

What I can say for you: Try something new! You never know what you might come up with and it's an excellent chance to expand your horizons.

Brooches and my new scarf

Today I write not only about my new brooches but also about new chrocheted scarf that i made. I like very much all kind of needle and craft work. When I was teen I start to needlepoint frivolite, cross-stitch, crochet and knitting. My grandma taught me this. This is knitted scarf that i made 6 years ago. It was 2.5 m/98" long and I very liked it.

Now I made oversized white knitted scarf. And what can be better than make photos of new Cream brooch and Burgundy brooch with this new scarf? If you have scarf you can wear one of these brooches in so may ways! It will be fabulous accessory with any outfit!

Crimson Leather flowers necklace

After making crimson leather brooch, necklace and earrings about which I wrote here: Crimson poppy flowers earrings and brooch I still had a few small pieces of crimson leather. But they were too small. Last week I had and idea what I can make with - necklace with small flowers! I like red color and I think many people like it. Red is the color of life, activity and energy, strength and determination, love and anger. It's the color of ardor, it excites, evokes passion, stimulates emotion and desire. What can be more beautiful as necklace with dark red flowers!
