Some of my latest work and new exciting update

As you probably know I love stripes, I always did and uses stripes on my pillow beads.
Lately I discover this cute technique to create stripes, straight ones ;-) on round beads.
I really love these beads, and I think that combination of stripes and circles on round beads, can be very cool...
I have to find the time to give it a shot.
But first here's some new sets with stripes:

Another new creation is pumpkin beads.
They turn out so cute!
I chose to create them in light turquoise and keep the orange in a hint veins.
They can go great as focal's or as earrings, all you need to do is to add them some leaves cups and there you go with beautiful holiday earrings or necklace.

My new update is that......I just finish working on a flower cane tutorial!!!!
Yay!!!!
I have been thinking of creating this tutorial for years but as you already know me, the thinking part is a huge part and always takes too long :-)
You know....every thing comes first, always.
But, I'm very proud I finely finished it with not much knowledge on PDF's and office software thank's to my good friend Yifat that helped a lot with technical issues and mental support :-)
So I already listed the tutorial at my shop and even got my first feedback from the first customer that bought it and it's great and give me a lot of positive energy!

New earrings!

Finely I found some quality time with my jewelry.
I didn't touch this area for too long and all the supplies I ordered more then 6 months ago waited patiently in post office boxes yearn for a day light.
So finely they got out from darkness to sunlight and we all were very happy and excited.
I really love to create jewelry, to think how to combine the parts and create a piece of art that I'll love to wear myself.
I can't create something I wont wear so every piece start with the thought I just might keep it to myself :-)
I have so much wonderful ideas but so little time and energies *well that's how a pregnant women feel with a huge belly and endless fatigue :-)*
So, I did succeed to find a few hours and grab myself to my working table.
I spread all of my jewelry supplies around, all the parts and connectors, beads and tools and simply dive.
It was so much fun, so relaxing, I didn't want to got up and pick up my mess till next time.
I really hope next time will be very soon, it's a pure therapy and I have to keep it in mind!

So till next time, here some of my last creations:

Blessed September

That's it, the summer is behind us, I almost forgot it although I thought it will never end.
We had so much fun this summer, We travel a lot and waste a lot :-)
Now the boys are back in school (that also went pretty smooth) and I find my self going back to a blessed routine of quiet and calm work.
I didn't create a lot in the summer, sure didn't initiate new projects, but I did my best to finish custom orders in a reasonable time although my boys were with me all day long.
They are pretty big now, one is almost 7 and the other is almost 5 so I can really trust them and leave unbaked work on my working table and they won't touch it.
My little one, Shaked, started a new nursery school this year, I'm very happy with it.
The teachers are really smiley and nice and I feel good there.
The nursery school is totally new, I mean the building is new, the building process ended something like a week before the summer ended so I decide to give them an opening gift.
I made this door sign with the name of the school, in Hebrew: "atzmaut" meaning independence.
The sign full of happy smiley children that will put a smile on every child and parent that'll come to school every morning.
I love this door sign, I'm in love with every figure I created there and I really enjoy to see it every morning.

Some new sets

Finely I found some time to create new designs.
It feels a little strange to work with different canes other then my colorful ones.
I need to create some new canes pronto in order to produce some new look, I really feel like it's about time to turn into sort of new direction.
Don't get me wrong, I adore my funky, colorful beads, I really do and they sell great!
But it's a little tiring to create the same thing over and over again and I feel like my creativity is shutting down.
I got back to round shape beads, I think that round is really the best shape for jewelry although they really hard to polish, the pillow shape is a lot easy in this matter.
So I created these two new sets and it really made me feel like a beginner.
I'm so used to take the same colorful canes and put them together and now I have to think about the color theme of the set, the harmony of the flowers and of course the color base that can make the whole picture different each and every time.
But I had so much fun!!! You won't belive it!
The whole process of choosing the canes and every thing was very exciting to me and gave me new energy that lead to new ideas :-)
I hope to continue with this new spirit and to find the time to combine orders with new creations all the time.
I really like them, what about you?

Electra advertisement

I'm so proud!
My polymer clay characters came to life in this new advertisement for a big company here in Israel called ELECTRA.
The flash running a little slow here because I invert the file from swf to avi and I'm not such an expert :-)
The advertisement is running in some of the big forums and sites in the Israeli net and every time I run into it I smile like a fool :-)

Some new jewelry, shots, beads, etc'....

It is really weird to manege two different stores with two different look and style.
I really like my polymer clay shop, the colorfulness, the bright items on a snow white background.
It's happy, it's clean and it's totally me.
On the other hand, I'm falling in love with my jewelry shop.
It's 180 degree different from my PC shop, much more romantic, soft with more complicated shots (well I try).
Because all this romantic look is new to me, I always try to find the way to achieve the right atmosphere in my shots.
It is hard!
No more white paper and soldiers beads, now I have to think about the background, the light, the theme and the whole package.
So last Saturday I took my family and we went to a walk in the Carmel forest.
It was very rainy and cold but we enjoyed the beautiful view and the fresh air!!!
We dressed very well and took with us some hot tea with a lot of mint in it, and biscuits.
I collected some branches and a trunk peels that dropped from the trees.
I also did a little research on my camera and discovered a whole new functions that work much better for this new shoot style I'm looking for now.
I had to do the right thing for my new jewelry, new style, new technique and gorgeous result!
I'm really exited to show you the first buds from this wonderful technique I discovered myself, and cant wait to work with it and take it further.
This work take a lot of time and effort, It's a process and I have to be very patience but it worth the difficulties.
Pay attention to the background of the photos as well, I think I have done quite well :-)





And some older things with better background.......





All the above is waiting in my Jewelry shop.

And back to polymer clay beads :-)
Lately I created the "Color Cells" design in a different way.
I call the new designs "Color Cells- Spiders Addition"
The same fun and colorful pattern in a round and flat shape with colorful center.
I made 4 pairs with 4 different centers, great for earrings.
These beads remind me spiders, with 6 legs from both sides :-)
I love them!!! so fun and cool!





You can find these in my Polymer clay shop.
