A Little Bit of what I Do

This time I want to introduce You my passion. I create jewellery. That's what I do every day with love and attention. Shades of Whimsy - it's the name of my work, expressing everything I desire to reach when I wrap wire with beads, polymer clay flowers etc. I just love beads and wire! Here are some of my pieces :)

 

 

Charming 50s

This was a time of glamour, beauty and luxury. A time of eternal femininity. It was the time in fashion history when everything what beautiful was in the efflorescence. The society, recovered after World War II, wanted to see infinite beauty and aesthetics in fashion. And this came true.
