Today we took Anastasia to the Home Plus play area for the first time. Here are a couple videos of her response. Watching her was so much fun I had to figure out how to record video on my cell phone!
The name of the necklace speaks for itself; it was taken from the verses of A.S.Pushkin’s poem “Ruslan and Lyudmila”: “On seashore far a green oak towers, Materials, used in this piece of art: Jasper cabochon, antique Italian micro beads (# 18-24), Japanese glass beads size 11; acorns; metal golden chains.
This necklace I created as a transformer: you could wear it differently, changing the pendant (I made additional pendant to this necklace in a shape of a leaf, using my own technique “Micro bead netting in embroidery”) or you could wear all parts separately – the necklace also looks great without any pendant, and pendant looks very attractive by itself. Many people are wondering about the size of the beads which I’m using. This picture will give you exact image of differences in sizes between contemporary beads size 11 and antique little ones. Materials, used in this necklace: glass ruby cabochons, antique Italian glass micro beads (sizes 18-22), Czech glass micro cuts, black pearls, haematite beads, Swarovski crystals, gold-filled clasp.

Last year while visiting her home in Magadan, a local news station did a story about Tanya’s beadwork and her mother’s green thumb. I was going through some files and found this and now it’s posted for your viewing enjoyment. Unfortunately, the video is Russian but I hope to be able to add in some subtitles soon.
The idea of this set sprang up in my mind when I was looking through the old issues of ”Beadwork” magazine. my eye stopped at one of the brooches of Nome May, created in the shape of a flower (“Beadwork”, April/May 2002, p.14) In this set I wanted to show the joy which suns warmth brings to nature and to our lives every year. With the vivid colors, combined in these pansies – bright yellows, reds and greens, this captures the spirit of summer; and in spite of classic noble materials, which I used in this necklace (pearls and coral), the feeling and whole impression of this set is quite opposite from the classic elegance – YES! SUMMER FUN! Materials, used in the set: Japanese seed beads # 15,11; antique Italian microbeads # 18,20; pearls and coral; leather and Sylamid waxed thread; gold-filled clasp.
Look at my necklace – and you will see all these in the pictures. Blue mountains at a distance, pools with deep blue water, covered with very thin veins of ice, spring clear streams, running from hills to mountain lakes and ocean bays. Dark thawed patches here or there and “gold” tracks of pyrite saturated sand on the earth so recently uncovered, moistened with water from melted snow… See the beauty of the harsh wilderness while looking at this necklace, and feel the gentle touch of romanticism and nostalgia, depicted in this piece of bead-work art. The necklace is made from antique micro-beads size #18, Japanese beads #11 & #15; Czech teardrop beads; crystal chips; jasper. Materials used: black leather, Japanese fishing line, Cylamid waxed thread. The front embroidery has a button-like fastener on each sides and can be fully removed. |
