Bead Day. Dryad's Tiara.

I am starting the "Bead Day" on Saturdays. I used to work with the beads and still love that variety of jewellery and objects that can be made with them. I also like interesting beads themselves. What I've done... I have given new tag Bead Day to all my old posts about jewellery made of beads or where some parts were made of beads. Wow! There were 34 posts like that! 

 Well... now I will be adding interesting things made of beads as well as some DIY projects. Just as if there is not enough eye candies in my blog :) This is my diet :) I avoid real candies and replace them with the eye candies! :)

The picture above is my own creation. There are a few more pictures in my web-site.

One of my ammolite gems for a dragonfly pendant

I've started showing my gems awhile ago... Every time I write that "I am going to do something with this stone". Why at least I won't come up with an actual idea and a sketch? This way I am going to be one step closer to creating a piece of jewellery with a stone from my gem collection!  

I am starting right now with this ammolite. I am not saying that this is what I will actually do with the stone, but... maybe... I think the shape is very suggestive to make a huge dragonfly! (Click on the picture to open it bigger). The second stone is pietersite.

However, I do have dragonfly necklaces already! This one:

This is a pendant made of sterling silver and copper. The centre stone is turquoise and the eyes are blue topazes. The pendant necklace is for sale at my etsy shop here.

This is another dragonfly necklace that I also have at my etsy shop:

Its design was inspired by Art Nouveau. Dragonflies are common for Art Nouvea, so the choice of the style was obvious :) The stones are an amethyst and a rose quartz cabochon.
