Sun Dryad

I finally know what it's like to try to bead when you have a newborn baby! It's not easy :D

"Devilish" pieces

I got my hands on two amazing pieces of red coral, of course I couldn't leave them in my drawer for too long. Rather than incorporate them into something big, this time I went for smaller two-color pieces, Devil's Claw and Devil's Stump. Both have a beaded top made of black Preciosa and TOHO beads and Devil's Claw has, moreover, a string of Preciosa beads "wrapping" the coral. Both pieces also have some fire-polished beads.

I have my very own model now!

She's nine days old today, her name is Liliana (Lily) and she is posing with a White Lily brooch which I made in honor of my at-that-time-unborn daughter and her name. It will take some time until she can pose with bigger pieces but anyway, she's the most precious model (and the most precious thing in general) I have. Thanks to her great dad for helping with her creation :D
