Inspired by this painting "Jour der fete" or "Celebration Day" done by the French painter Moga. He is strongly influenced by the vibrant colours and patterns of Africa. This is the first in my Moga series.

The very first time I dared to spend so much time on detailing a bead and then squashing it ;)

Inspired by the gorgeous lilac trees growing in our garden. Lovely rubino encased stringer makes up a large part of this set

This set and Emerald eyes are the two sets that really improved my stringer work

Emerald eyes and matching earring set

Rubino and siver foil

Oh, I really love this set. You can almost hear the waves as they crash on the beach. This set has such life and movement all its own! This is one that I definitely plan to work with further

Inspired by a steamy Cup o' Cap in a little German cafe', on a cold rainy summer day

Rubino and silver foil. Gotta love it :)

For sentimental reasons, here's my very first "offical" bead set. I am sure that in 10 years time I will look back on these and smile (at least I hope so!).

My first adventures with opal yellow , I love this glass!

What a gorgeous colour is Ink Blue! It can be deep and mysterious or light and dreamy, but somehow always comforting (I know, I should probably get out of the studio more often!).

Ink blue, what a dreamy mysterious colour!
