Amethyst collection

Ametüst. See väike kollektsioonikene koosneb neljast põhilisest komplektist. Kollektsioonis on 4 kaelakeed, 5 käeketti, 7 sõrmust ja 4 kõrvarõnga paari. Ehteid saab osaliselt kombineerida. Kasutasin klaashelmeid, linte, paelu, pitse ja hõbetatud vasktraati (kõrvarõngakonksud on hõbedast).

Kolmanda kaelakee ripatsi, mille punusin helmeniidiga (see tamiili-laadne), idee on raamatust Bead Fantasies II (ainult viimase kihi helmeid lisasin teistmoodi) ja viienda rea lillekese idee sama autori raamatust Bead Fantasies IV (ainult ei teinud seemnehelmestest tagust, vaid jätsin niisama).

Vabandan, et pildid on udused. Kuna lambid, mida ma tavaliselt kasutan pildistamisel muudaksid selle värvi pruuniks, pildistasin hoopis ilma lampideta...

This little collection has 4 main sets. There are 4 necklaces, 5 bracelets, 7 rings and 4 sorts of earrings. Different pieces are possible to combine. I used glass beads, ribbons, laces and silver plated wire (earring hooks are from silver wire).

The idea of the pendant on the third row is from the book Bead Fantasies II (only I added the last layer of beads in other way) and the idea of the flower on the fifth row is from the book Bead Fantasies IV from the same author (though I didn't make the flower back from seedbeads and left it without it).

I apologize about the poor quality of the photos. Since the lamps I usually use when I photograph, change the color of amethyst to brown, I didn't use them at all. I made the photos in darkness and tried to make them better in my computer.

And by the way, the article of this beading board with transparent cover I've mentioned in my erlier post is #BBU28F-C. It measures 9,75x13,25 inches and is a product of the BeadSmith. If you're interested you may ask for it from your LBS. If you make an inquire you should add if you want a transparent cover, because I searched the internet and there were same kind of beading boards with that article number, only cover was not transparent.

Green

Augustikuu värviks valisin rohelise, kuna hoolimata mõnedest tormidest on ilusa ilma puhul ikka roheluses veedetud. Roheline on mõnus värv. Ja ma usun, et pole ainuke, kellel see värv seostub loodusega :)
Täitsa hämmastav on minu arvates see, et ehkki mul on võimalus palja jalu murul käia, ei kasuta ma seda sugugi tihti. Pigem väga harva. Tavaliselt suve lõpul tulebki see mulle meelde - ju kuskil ajusopis tiksub mõte, et talv on tulekul. Mul on aias kohe selline eriline koht, kus ma palja jalu käin. See on üks murulapp, kus on hästi peenike, tihe ja madal muru nagu vaip. Mujal pole nii hea, seal on harvem muru ja maapinna niiskus annab tunda. Mõnus on olla palja jalu murul ja korjata enda sisse mälestust suvest ja loodusest ning hoida seda läbi talve, kuni uus võimalus tuleb. Nii et, kellel on võimalus, käige murul palja jalu ning nautige!

I chose green for the August. Although there has been some stormy weather I've spent a lot of time outdoors. Green is a nice color. Makes me think of nature and I guess I'm not the only one who think that green is a color of nature :)
It amazes me that although I have a possibility to walk on the grass on bare foot in summer I don't use it often. Actually I do it quite rarely. Usually I remember to do it when summer starts to end - I guess somewhere in my head there is a knowing that winter is coming. There is a special place in my garden where I like to be bare foot. The grass is like a carpet. It's great to walk bare foot on the grass and gather the memories of the summer and nature and keep it all inside during the winter. Until there will be another chance to be bare foot on the grass... So, if you have a chance to walk bare foot on the grass, enjoy an cherish it!
