Forest Fairy





Like a year ago - when I lived next to beautiful Hagaparken, I decided to make my photosession outside, on the stones, moss, trees. After all, that's where I get my inspiration from, so why not taking my creations back to nature and take pictures of them in their "natural environment"!

So this is one of my new versatile necklaces / bracelets - Forest Fairy.
This piece comes from a fairytale. From any fairytale about deep forests, tall trees, green moss and of course, kind fairies.
These earth colors - brown, green, beige and moss - are my absolutely favorites. And small chips of transparent crystal feel like fresh dew drops :)

Some apples in my life :)

Last weeks I am being in a very apple mood. Everything is greener and fresher than it used to be :)
The world is a happier place :)

And this new mood have inspired me to make several new necklaces / bracelets.

Let's start with this one - Apple Delight.

Do you love apple jam, apple pie, apple everything as much as I do?
Or do you prefer just a crispy fresh green apple?

This long necklace / bracelet is dedicated to all apple-loving people. It's gentle, green, fresh and so juicy!

Just wear it everyday and spread apple mood around you!

Round big aventurine beads, jasper and aventurine chips, sparkling czech glass beads and gentle wooden touch - truly apple mix :)

And so the seaside theme continues

How can summer be without a seashore? Well, I can perfectly survive without warm sea, but a seachore is a must. It can be Batic Sea, Northern Sea, any other cold sea, but it must be sea, at least for a short while.

And so I continued my seaside line of necklaces.
This one is more gentle then the last one, more down to earth. There is less bright sunshine in it, more sunset light. Less salty water, more warm sand.

Brooches

What can be more heart-warming in winter than a cute vintage crocheted broosh?
I wear them every time I have romantic-cozy mood.

Moreover, my brooches are all created in an attempt to be more ecologically sustainable. I had a bunch of yarn leftovers - beautiful pieces, but too small for any serious project. Throwing them away would break my heart. Buying new yarn for brooches - would break my anti-consumption-phylosophy heart too. So the way out was to try and combine the yarn I have with the beads I have. And here we go!
So of the brooches are absolutely unique as the piece of yarn was just enough for one.

Pumpkin brooch with glass beads (wool with acrylic)

$13 - free shipping

White mohair brooch with glass beads

$11.50 - free shipping

Pink flower brooch with glass beads (acrylic and cotton yarn)

$12 - free shipping

More of my brooches are in my shop.

New strings!!

Here we go again with new color combinations!
All the following items are crocheted strings 53-54 inches long, which can be tied in many different ways! All of them have two locks on each of its ends, which allows your imagination to freely play with design.You just close the lock on any part of the string and the beads are big enough to make sure the lock stays stable.
Wear it as a bracelet, belt, or a thousand different necklaces!!

Look for more in my Etsy shop!

But meanwhile let me introduce 3 new strings!

Green background, blue theme and juicy pink touch... very gentle combination.





The next one is one of my absolute favourites!!
It's about time to gather some berries, am I wrong? The days are still long and the forests are still green, even here up in the north in Scandinavia. And this combination of fresh juicy berries and the green of the wilderness inspired me to crochet this string.



Brown wooden beads, red glass beads and orange drops. Juicy, melancholic and so down to earth warmed up by September sun






All of the strings cost 16$ before shipping ($2) Also I am doing custom items.
Give me a theme and I will make a string fitting your theme.
Please read about my payment and shipping policies. And please note, than Israeli and Swedish customers have special terms of shipping and payment.

and some more strings

One of my absolute favourites - look at the blue!!





A touch of Mediterranean summer - a bit of turquoise complementing the deep brown wood.






One more gentle string - sleepy rosy morning.


as I said, it can be tied virtually anyway!!!


Another one in brown and blue theme. Am I the only one that finds this contrast between thin thread and big wooden beads sexy????
