For New Year's Eve party and Preciosa's monthly contest I prepared a necklace - some semi-precious stone - I have no idea what is it ;) with hematite and blue lustered seed beads.
I submit it for Preciosa's 'My Czech Beads" contest.

Idą święta ;)
Once again I want to submit my entry for Preciosa's My Czech Beads contest - this time the theme is 'Christmas decoration'. As my family never liked various kinds of 'dustcatchers' I prepared earrings, which can also be hung on a christmas tree. Well, if I find any place for them xD
Made them from green seed beads 11/0, bigger colorful seed beads (about 5mm) and little hematite stars.

Fallen leaves
Inspired by Preciosa's My Czech Beads contest new theme, When the leaves fall down, I prepared a neclace in a form of autumn leaf. It's my first try of a new technique - cross-stitch with beads, but I really like how it came out :)
The leaf is about 7,5 cm wide, I made it from 10/0 and 12/0 Preciosa's seed beads. The back is from eco leather.
I submit it for this month Preciosa's My Czech Beads contest.

In the waves
Next month and next Preciosa's theme :D This time it's 'In the waves'. So I used perfect Preciosa beads I bought some time ago, which colour reminds me of a stormy sea, and made a necklace - bead crochet rope.
The rope is about 50 cm long. There are only 3 beads in a row so it's very flexible - as you can see on the photo. The beads are Preciosa 6/0 Lustered Indicolite - they look much better in real life and differently in every kind of light - sometimes a bit transparent and sometimes metallic.
So I submit this piece for Preciosa's 'My Czech Beads' contest - wish me luck ;)

Sunny days
I made yet another earrings for Preciosa's contest - this time the theme is 'Holiday'. And first thing I think of when I hear this word is sun. So I made two little suns - portable ones, that I can take with me everywhere ;)
As cabochons I used little glass stones people put in aquariums. I beaded around them with seed beeds sizes 9/0 and 13/0 in yellow silver-lined colour, and put the hooks on gold seed beads around 6/0 size - all of them from Preciosa.

Bridal
Bridal jewelery is not my thing - I don't really like white and I won't need it in a near future. But as it is Preciosa's theme for this month I decided to try. I have some plastic "somethings" that are ment to look like crystals. Well, they for sure don't - and they're totally tacky, but if beaded around they look quite interesting. I've chosen light blue ones as my inspiration for my earrings - well, I just love blue and they are delicate enough to fit the theme. I've matched them with transparent 15/0 beads, matte white 10/0 beads and metallic blue beads in sizes 10/0 and 6/0 - all from Preciosa. To make it even more delicate, I've joined two parts with a chain.
And here are the results:
So I submit this work for this month Preciosa's contest theme - Wedding Collection. Wish me luck ;)

W kolorze bzu
Kolejna praca na konkurs Preciosy i kolejny dwujęzyczny post ;)
Jakiś czas temu moja mama upatrzyła sobie spory plaster agatu, a ja wreszcie zmotywowałam się, żeby odpowiednio się nim zająć. Dostał ubranko z filcu (różowego, bo taki najładniej podkreślał jego walory) i koralików. Właścicielka jest zadowolona ;)
Some time ago my mom bought quite big agate slice, and I at least felt motivated enough to take care of it properly. I made some "clothes" for it from felt (pink one, because this color best highlighted it's beauty) and seed beads. The owner is happy ;)
Technika: haft koralikowy. Koraliki Preciosa 10/0 Gray i Silver-Lined Amethyst oraz 15/0 Silver-Lined Crystal.
Technique: bead embroidery. Preciosa seed beads 10/0 Gray and Silver-Lined Amethyst and 15/0 Silver-Lined Crystal.
Pracę zgłaszam na comiesięczny konkurs Preciosy, tym razem temat to Dzień Matki.
I submit this piece for monthy Preciosa's contest, this month the theme is Mother's Day.

I znowu wiosna :)
Tym razem będzie post dwujęzyczny ;)
Jakiś czas temu natknęłam się na konkurs Preciosy: http://preciosa-ornela.com/en/contest
Zasady są proste - wystarczy wykonać pracę z koralikami Preciosy na zadany temat, w tym miesiącu Wiosna/Ozdoby wielkanocne. Jako że nagrody są kuszące, myślałam przez jakiś czas co by tu zrobić i w końcu zdecydowałam się po raz kolejny pobawić się sznurkiem i stworzyć z niego naszyjnik. A co mi z tego wyszło zobaczcie pod spodem ;)
Some time ago I come across Preciosa contest: http://preciosa-ornela.com/en/contest
The rules are simple - you just have to make something for the months theme using Preciosa beads, this month it's Spring/Easter decoration. The prizes are quite appealing, so was thinking for a some time and in the end I decided to play with the string once again and make a necklace. If you want to see what is the result - just look ;)
I trochę szczegółów:
Some details:
Wykorzystałam oczywiście koraliki Preciosy, rocaille 9/0, kolory silver-lined lemon, trans rainbow aquamarine, sirver-lined cobalt SH oraz 10/0 trans-lustered dark blue.
Of course I used Preciosa beads, rocaille 9/0, colors silver-lined lemon, trans rainbow aquamarine, sirver-lined cobalt SH and 10/0 trans-lustered dark blue.
I na koniec zachęcam do odwiedzenia strony internetowej Preciosy:
In the end, I invite you to visit Preciosa website:
