Wire and beads jewelry


 

These pieces were made during 2003, and some of them little earlier.. Mostly, they were made for my first (and till now the only :)) public exhibition. It was Art Market in Media Center, Sarajevo, and I was happy for every sold piece..
As I could not be present, my friend exhibited jewelry with her paintings. You can see here Alma's paintings

Bracelets

My first bracelet making started from wooden beads and rubber thread. Then later I tried to make with wire, glass beads and also semiprecious gemstones. As I never knew technique for jewelry making, then my main source for seeing was Internet.

Necklaces

My jewelry making started with plastic beads. Only what I had at that time was few colors of smallest plastic beads. As I was all day in bed without TV and computer, that started to be my main occupation. After long time of making so many different combination of little plastic beads of 2mm, then only I started searching for bigger ones, and to make combination of that two kinds.

Later I got as present few packs of Fimo Mass and started experimenting with it. Never had more interesting material for working with then fimo mass is. It is simple for making any shape and also for making real paintings and artistic jewelry.

And most simple and most elegant were necklaces with few semiprecious gemstones in combination with colorful glass beads.

Still I don't know many techniques for jewelry making, but even without that there are many possibilities with colors.
