Frozen fields... * Featured Page *

Frozen fields...

(Anastasia)
...Fields are frozen, but still having colors. The tiny lines in the pictures are, by the way, no fingerprints;-), but twisties of Aion applied onto the surface, lingering like lines of mist...
Siena... * Featured Page *

Siena...

(Anastasia)
...That wonderful, rusty color..."rosso", looks a bit like "terra di siena"...I just found a clod of reddish earth in a box in the basement...which I had picked from a field near Siena in Italy years ago...well, probably it´s not the real one...lol...
Pond flowers... * Featured Page *

Pond flowers...

(Anastasia)
...In spring water plants start to grow at the bottom...and if the water is clear, you can see them, like an underwater garden, growing higher and higher, until they reach the surface and start to bloom. It´s like some pre-spring down there...

Random Offerings

(NaosGlass)
Just a few random things up on eBay right now. It's been so cold that I haven't able to crank out the focals - at least not enough for their own gallery - so here's a smattering of what's available (or will be)! :)
Spring lake... * Featured Page *

Spring lake...

(Anastasia)
...The water´s color turning green from algae, first flowers sticking their little heads out, and then there´s the sound of little waves, crinkling the sun ray´s reflection...

Sunglow...

(Anastasia)
...The sunsets I get to see out of my window are already that amazing, that I cannot wait to see them in summer...for sure they have a huge influence on my beads already......
Frozen tree... * Featured Page *

Frozen tree...

(Anastasia)
...Early in the morning the trees are frozen and covered in glaze frost, the light seems to be blueish and the mist over the fields painted pink...too bad it turns into cold and damp a bit later...

LIFE.SAVER

(Beadnik)
In the beginning there’s uncertainty … it’s all about decisions …

Some decisions originate unconsciously / consciously …

We rest in ourselves … it’s dark somehow … time works, … to bring more light into the situation. Amidst this „pupation“ we need tranquility to grow securely.

This process clears: We open ourselves to take a lovingly and wakefully look onto the silence which likes to deliver a message. All these thoughts – which circle around us – send us on a journey …

We try to clarify while looking at the matter of fact from different angles. Oftentimes it feels tempestuously as we lost our psychic balance …

I created this series to give comfort …! With the hope that you’ll be able to unfold yourself with your personal butterfly I send you lots of light & love,

PEtra

Arctic Frost

(NaosGlass)
A beautiful chilly sea, with a bird's eye view, ripples of incoming waves and glittery edges of foam on the shore. Simply add a few sea-faring charms - starfish, shells, etc and you have an instant oceanic theme! :) Of course, it could also be snow-capped peaks! ;)
Flame V... * Featured Page *

Flame V...

(Anastasia)
...Another version of the flame beads I started to work on recently...this is the fifth of the series... inspired by the flame I´m looking into while working...
Smoke on the water... * Featured Page *

Smoke on the water...

(Anastasia)
...Actually I didn´t plan to etch this bead, I threw it into the etching solution accidentally;-)..... the smooth surface revealing part of the inside design and hiding part of it makes it look beautiful...and reminded me of this song...
Triple tree... * Featured Page *

Triple tree...

(Anastasia)
...There are three trees in this bead, two of them encased in a thick layer of clear, which changes their appearance depending on from what side you´re looking at it...

Unlock the Magic.....

(MysticGardenBeads)
...and see all of Nature's little wonders.
