The colourful mess on my desk bathing in the morning sun

Had an inspired late night play with beads and this wonderful mess welcomed me this morning...

I've been playing with some new (for me) colour combos and would very much appreciate your feedback

What works (if anything) and what doesn't? How can I improve each piece? Thank you for your time!

Inspired by tonight's eclipse, I want to share my "Full Moon Meditation" mixed media art

This is an old piece that I just thought of bc of tonight's full moon eclipse. I made it with air dry clay elements (that I also made and painted myself), salt, leftover beads and an old and broken jewellery part (the coral moon). It's a story about bubbling emotions, intense thoughts, but then total piece while becoming one with the moon. What do you think?

Anyways, I wish you all a beautiful and magical night!

Shiny stack of bracelets that I made

I love using gold elements in the jewellery I make, but usually I use it in moderation. Decided to go all the way in a few pieces and then I stacked all the shiny bracelets together. What do you think?

I'm worried about this year Solar Return with Sun conjunct South Node and Uranus conjunct natal Saturn in the 7th... I would very much appreciate your take on this chart, especially regarding finances and career [astro.com]

Dear Astrologers, I would very much appreciate your thoughts on my solar return this year, I'm particularly interested in the financial situation and career, but if you have any additional insights please share them too. I think the chart is pretty intense and I'm a bit worried bc I already am at a crossroad in several areas of my life.

The inner chart is my natal one and the outer one is the SR.

Thank you very much for your time!

Dusty rose and polka dots - new wabisabi chunky bracelet I just made

I love making this type of bracelets! I made this one yesterday and I like the combo of dusty rose, wabisabi ceramic discs, with the polka dots African batik bone. It's girly and not at all, both at the same time 😂. What's your verdict?

"HAPPY" Mandala made with colourful beads

I hope you like this "Happy" mandala that I made with beads (beaded mosaic maybe, idk what to call it)... What can I say I'm obsessed with beads 😂

A composition of small mosaics that I made with leftover beads and recycled jewellery parts

I made a composition of 12 small mosaics with mostly leftover beads and recycled jewellery parts. The base are bisque ceramic tiles (ready to hang, they have a D-ring at the back - see the last pic) that I painted with acrylic paints and then applied (with glue) various types of beads and old jewellery parts, in mandala shapes. I think they might look pretty cool as a wall art, especially on a dark wall. And there are so many combos to be made with all of them, or just a few... What's your verdict?

Forest Spirit Mandala

This was a wonderful creative meditation with glass beads and natural stones. It's a mandala about a magical walk in a forest with brooks, on a morning after a rainy night 😊. As with all things that have a lot of sparkle and reflection, it's not easy to take a good picture, but I hope you get the idea... It comes alive when the sun hits it, and I love how it changes colour and sparkle under different light (both day and night).

Forest spirit mandala - refractive, sparkly, shiny, shimmery, iridescent, twinkly...

Posted this on another sub and got a comment that it would fit a very bohemian home - what's your take?

I posted on r/somethingimade about a composition of 12 small mosaic mandalas that I made with leftover beads and recycled jewellery parts. Someone commented that they can see them on the wall in the kitchen of a very bohemian cool mom, so I would love to get your feedback - is this fit for boho homes?

Same focal bead, three bracelets - what else would you pair it with?

The focal is handmade Czech glass (lampwork). I have one more and I was thinking to pair it with some nice garnet, but would love to hear your ideas! Also, which one do you like the best?

Уникатен уметнички накит

Пред некое време објавив пост за машки/унисекс алки кои ги изработувам од монистра собирани од целиот свет во тек на 20 години. Сега сакам да ја споделам со вас галеријата со дел од женските (и унисекс) алки кои ги продавам со попуст за да соберам средства за пакувањето: https://imgur.com/a/CWRxg4F Се надевам ќе ви се допаднат... Секое мислење е добредојдено!

OOAK statement bracelets I'm really proud of

The first bracelet is one of my all time favourites, it's really special, museum quality piece. The focal is a massive Venetian trade bead from 19th century in pristine condition, and the fired clay discs were a custom order from a contemporary ceramic artist, it's finished with a traditional Ashanti brass bead from Ghana, Africa. The 2nd and 3rd have 300 years old Hebron trade beads (I adore Hebron beads!), made of the Dead Sea salt and local sand in the ancient city of Hebron, Palestine. I especially like the combo of Hebron, contemporary ceramic and traditional batik bone from Ghana. I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, but I'm very proud of these ones...
