Unusual jewelry - Guzel Bakeeva
This artist creates incredibly detailed and beautiful jewelry pieces, using a variety of different materials. They make me think of something that a princess in a fantasy story would be wearing. Please visit the artist's store, to see other works.
Bead sculptures
Back from a break, I am presenting a number of amazing beaded sculptures that I have found around the net. Unfortunately, I was unable to locate the original creator/creators. This may have been made by more than one person.
Quilts and Tapestries - Tom Atkins
"The work here shows my journey into the relationship of beads and fabric.
It started when I was rear-ended on the freeway and couldn't do sculpture any more. I could, however, manage fabric and beads. Since I needed a new job, I began to explore the relationships between beaded and quilted surfaces and how they relate. I wanted to see beads as an integral part of the design, not just sitting on the surface. Beads and fabric complementing one another, neither one predominating, balanced. These quilts are the results of my explorations to find that balance."
- Tom Atkins
That's quite a story, and what amazing work! He mentions that his sister, Robin Atkins, has been his mentor and inspiration (I intend to feature her site on my blog as well). I am quite in love with beads and his work.

Amazing quilting and tapestry pieces
Came across an amazing collection of various quilting pieces for your viewing pleasure. Afraid that I don't have any informaiton on who the artists are, so if you are, or know who is - please let me know.
There is nothing that I like to do more, than to give credit to the talented human beings that fill out world with beauty.

Garden jewelry - Mrs Dazo
I was unable to find much more on this amazing artist, other than she is from Singapore, and has an Etsy shop.
Her creations are dainty, and unique. Incorporating small metal creatures and beads - they are more art than jewelry. And its all reasonably priced (although not all of the items that I found online are being sold in the store.)
