Jewelry Probably not what you might think – no diamonds here – rather things that are way more precious! It is Sanda’s head-turning pendants and jewelry garlands making it onto and under Christmas trees! Bold and festive, funky, and genuine – the best holiday gifts one can wish for! A little piece of Sanda!
Polymer clay jewelry I always marveled, incomprehensible for a mortal mind, the age of rocks, layers of time creating beautiful patterns, often glitzy with crystals and metallic shine, and fossils embedded in them. Elements which the nature is spawn from – metals, granites, water, oxygen – create this visual geological history layered in eons of […]
Polymer clay jewelry etc. Buried under meters of snow, we hope for spring. On this 8th of March, an International Women’s Day, back home, flower bouquets were gifted, first hyacinths, spring arrival palpable; women were celebrated together with spring. In contrast, all white and inward here…not many even remember why this day is celebrated in […]
Fabric design and jewelry Valentine sneaks upon us in the middle of February!? Under a meter of snow, each day is a challenge – driving to work while ice pellets drop from the skies, whiteouts create dangerous illusions, when dressing up to brave outdoors takes at least half an hour. What a weird time to […]
Still life, clay objects etc. The expectations for this theme of the project ‘Orange’ were 3D objects, functional or otherwise. Bowls, figurines, jewelry…Well, you cannot prescribe creativity. We ended up with contributions of still-life paintings, and artistic deserts. And a quintessential ‘orange car’! Spontaneously, the theme transformed itself into ‘orange’ in our lives…we are searching […]
Holiday jewelry Dressing for holiday outings is both an excitement and a stress. Yet, it could be simple – an oversized eye-catching “one of a kind’ artistic medallion or necklace that signals festivity and flare – white blouse sufficient, exuding simplicity and elegance. Jewelry rightfully taking the place of a gown! Here are some uniquely […]
Polymer Clay Jewelry The exhilaration of jewelry making was lost on me for most of my life…precious stones and diamonds could not have been further away from my intellectual preoccupations. Even my paintings were all serious and ‘brainy’ – as if joy of creating art was overshadowed by tediousness of complicated symbolism and philosophy. Then, […]
Jewelry and fabric crafts Fall is time for crafts. September redirects our attention from the exterior, nature and outdoors to fashion, home decorations, preserves, books, recipes… Despite modern life-style, these cycles of seasonal activities still hold, like an ingrained rhythm of moods and sensibilities repeated through changing weather and traditions of the past. I love […]
Crafts and jewelry Love, love, love…all we need is love… Love in hearts…perhaps some arrows? Love in jewelry, the best demonstration of the ever-lasting commitment! Oh, this is not a cynical take on Valentine, not at all! It is just an innocent introduction of our small Valentine show (of hearts and jewelry). Colors brought into […]
Polymer Clay Workshop, Aug 8th Being perfect does not always mean being beautiful, or innovative or amazing. Haven’t you noticed that imperfections often create a feeling of warmth, real, hearty beauty – I’d rather have an imperfect piece that wakes up emotions than a perfection for the sake of it. Our polymer clay workshop was […]
