Oriental Colors

2011-02-11T22:36:00.000-08:00

So proud to live in a country, where people showed to the whole world what a huge power we have, when united. There were no political force, organisation , ideology and definitely no financial stimulation behind ( as it often happened with revolutions last decades)

It was only determination and good will power of the ordinary people, who were standing shoulder to shoulder, despite religious confession, social or financial status. And they DID it. It will be hard work now, but i believe in Egyptian people. Great example for all of us. Now Good Luck to Egypt, they deserve it.

About necklace ))) Copper, turquoise and corals. Happens to become very oriental.

Christmas Bazaar at the German School 2009.

2009-12-17T05:49:00.000-08:00

It was first time that i "officially" took "out" my jewelry for sale ( well myself), and i shall say it was great !!! So i would like to thank all people, who encouraged , supported and helped me ( including my husband, who was decorating the table ....very enthusiastically)))). And of course I'm very thankful for every purchase.

As i don't have any new photos ( it always take some time for setting and i have to wait for sunny days lol) I thought i'll post couple of old works....so that you don't become bored ....and come back soon.

Well, again flowers! But it's just , that people ask for them.... And honestly, I'm enjoying making them ))))

This one is much in oriental style...I would call it something like "Shaherezada" Copper is still too red and too bright, but soon it will get this noble, dark, antik fleur.
