I just finished six new brooches. I put 3 of them on my Etsy site this morning. Will add the other 3 tomorrow.
This is the first monkey I've ever done. I kinda like his cheekiness. I think he's trying to steal that lovely raku spiral bead that I got from Star Spirit Studio. And it looks like he also knicked a swarovski crystal with his tail!
I have a thing for keys. This one is surrounded with TINY little iridescent purple seed beads.
When my daughter was little, we flew to San Francisco and the flight attendant gave her a pair of little captain's wings. She wore them for weeks! This is my version. Ruby Zoisite center with brass verdi gris wings and wrapped up in my favorite blue-green seed beads. Yum.
You all know how I feel about pink (NOT my favorite color!) but many people love it, so in the spirit of offering something for everyone, I beaded up this cute little lock and key in precious pink.
...And here's another lock and key in blue.
...And one in Blood Red!
Here's a shot of my bead table this morning along with my beading muse, Arachne (cat), sleeping in her bed.
WOW...they are all so lovely^_^
ReplyDeleteLove the cat! A big old lump of fur!
ReplyDeleteWow, you have been busy. I too, have a thing for keys, I wonder what a psychologist would make of us? :-D
ReplyDeleteYou have been a brooch maniac, Cenya, with great results! I love your muse as well.
ReplyDeleteThese are very cool and very creative. I really like your beading spot, right by the windows, so nice.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a high level of bravery to have a cat bed on your beading table. I salute you!
ReplyDeleteI also love the key and lock broaches. Very nice.
Love the locks and keys especially....beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh, man---adorable kitty!! I love all of these, but especially the ones with keys and keyholes. Are those from the Tim Holtz line? I love those, and what you did with them is amazing!! Wonderful stuff. :D
ReplyDeleteI have a thing for antique keys too, so I love the key creations! Especially the iridescent purple seed beaded key. So lovely!
ReplyDeletejamberry - Yep, they're Tim Holtz keys. I bought some a long time ago because I thought they were so cool, but didn't know what to do with them. Then one day it just hit me in the head - Bead them!
ReplyDeleteThey are all perfectly, well, perfect! I do think that monkey deserves center stage, as he is trying to steal the other brooches' thunder!
ReplyDeleteMy kitties are next to my beading table- they have their OWN table for eating, then a throne for sleeping, complete with a lamp to keep Queen Puffin warm..Toilette within reach. Beads to reach out and touch. Ahhh, the Life of Cats!
Great pieces!! And your cat is adorable, too. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful brooches, I love the wings! :)
ReplyDeleteI love all of them! I think the monkey is my favorite though :D
ReplyDeleteOh me too..love little keys..old ones! Beautiful work..wow hon...I love them!!
