Materjalid: Swarovski punased kristallid Siam (art. 4470 ja 1100); vintage käsitsivalmistatud piklikud pärlid Jaapanist, Tšehhi pärlid ja seemnehelmed; punased ümmargused Tšehhi klaashelmed; vintage sinised nailhead helmed Tšehhoslovakkiast; kahes suuruses vanad sinised Prosser helmed Briare tehasest Prantsusmaalt.

Turquoise Green with Pearls

Siia kulusidki mu vintage türkiisrohelised klaashelmed... Kasutasin veel Lääne Saksamaa klaaskivikesi, Swarovski ja Preciosa kristalle, Tšehhi helmeid, Majorka ning Tšehhi imitatsioonpärleid ning seemnehelmeid. Imetillukesed Preciosa kristallid on liimitud, kõik muu kinnitatud traadiga.

This is why I'm out of vintage turquoise beads... I also used vintage Western Germany turquoise class cabs, Swarovski and Preciosa crystals, Czech beads, Majorka and Czech imitation pearls, and some seed beads. Tiny Preciosa crystals are glued, everything else is attached with wire.

Clamper Bracelet

Esimene katsetus kasutada sellist käevõru-toorikut. See avaneb kaunistatud osast ja on tagant vedruga nii, et sulgub iseenesest. Minu tehtud ongi ainult see kaunistatud osa klaaspärlite, helmeste ning Tšehhoslovakkias valmistatud ehtekividega. Paras pusimine oli. Natuke viltu läks ka :)

This is my first attempt to use a clamper bracelet base. It opens from above where are the beaded plates with rhinestones and has a spring that keeps it closed. The clamper base was ready-made, I only added the filigrees and beads, pearls and rhinestones from Czechoslovakia. It was quite a handful to put together. The plates are bit off the center too :)
