This has been a custom order for Christmas, I had a chance to make a necklace finally. It turned out to be a great success, I hope you like it too.

It's been a long time since I last made this pattern, but it is such a nice one, one of my favourites. Pattern by : Alicia Shems for Bead&Button Magazine

A little surprise for cold winter days to warm my soul. Simple, but cute. Japanese seed beads with howlite chips.

olleee olleee, finally I found a pattern that I really wanted to make. I must admit it was not easy at all, but I'm very happy with the result.... Pattern available here

All right I admit it now, my favourite technique seems to be crocheting with beads and without beads. I never suspected this, but here's another example of this kind :)

 And here is a little present for my dear colleague Sophie. I used Miyuki triangles for this necklace. I got to like crocheting recently, so you will see more similar projects soon.

IMGP1621 Originally uploaded by maricka Another one of the crocheted series. The teal beads look so great when the light shines through them. This was again a wonderful journey to make, great meditation as we are getting closer to winter.

Silver snake Originally uploaded by maricka Now this was a long and interesting puzzle. Finally solved by the idea of Babra , thank you my dear. Created from toho and long magatama beads. I must admit I like crocheting more and more.

It's been a long time since I last shared anything, so here is the latest creation. This is my first creation to a man. Actually he has been very creative with this as he decided on the colours and style, I like the result.

I'm so happy happy happy for this present from Berjo . Look how beautiful it is. And this is what she received from me :D

Finally Norono received the first PIF present. She really liked it and it also fits her wrist so I am so so happy.

Well this is my first encounter with Magatama beads, it has been a pleasure. They have such a unique shape and come in so beautiful colours. I just love them. This bracelet looks like the back of a dragon, so I named it after the blue dragon from Eragon. Pattern by: Beadworks magazine

So I try to keep my most important new year resolution, that is why I share this necklace with you today.         I loved the Bellatrix pendant from Trytobe, so I made another one in a different colour. I am really happy with the result, for me these are winter colours, so this represents winter and a hint of spring. Already waiting for the spring, maybe my next project will truly invite spring in, maybe not. And also I need to prepare two presents for the PIF game. Almost finished them already, just some finishing touches missing.

Our new year's eve party was really quiet this year, so I had a little time to think about the new year resolutions. So here they are: sleep more, eat less, laugh more, have more fun in life in general and the most important to come out with a new art creation every single week and update my blog more often. So my first creation this year, which is an old one left in half for a long time, but now I had the creative energy to finish it.

Surprise present in a cute golden box. One of my favourites is this pattern from Biloba. What's in the box? well well well, these were in the box....

These are the fruits of my creativity for the last weeks. Green Ivy is made by the pattern of  Sabine Lippert (trytobead) . Bubble circles is originally designed by Cindy Pankopf, found in the book: Creative Beading Vol.5.

There were so many beautiful pieces on the contest. Congratulations to everybody. The Hungarian girls won a lot, I'm so proud, makes me smile. I did not win, but it was so much fun to compete, I totally enjoyed it, thank you Simone. Please check out the winners on this page: Bellatrix contest

My first tree of life, I'm very happy with it. I hope you like it too. I used rose quartz stones, which is the stone of love, strengthens our affinity to loyalty.

Recently I have entered a contest organised by Perle4you Simone. The results are not known yet, but it was such fun to enter a contest like this. She sent all of the contestants a free pattern and we had to create something involving a piece according to the pattern. It was soooo much fun, thank you Simone.
