Yes, Ella again...

I love Ella Des' designs and her tutorials. The photo on top is of her Alma Earrings I saw on her site and had to make ASAP. She sells her tutorials there, and of course I found more than just this one.



Below are my finished Alma Earrings. Loved them so much that I had to make another. These were fun and fast to make.




Like I said, I bought more than one of her tutorials. Below is her Anice Pendant...


loved her Anice Pendant sooo much that I made three (below).



I love the Lunasoft cabochons and found a bunch on Etsy. Brilliant idea for Ella to use something different here.

WOW!!! - Alla Maslennikova...

For about a month now I've noticed one particular bead artist named Alla Maslennikova producing numerous pieces of bead work that are so original and beautiful. Maybe you have to. She has new designs I've never seen, and uses beautiful articles and findings of high quality in her pieces. She has an abundance of pieces, everyday one or more new pieces are displayed on her Facebook page. Here are a few that knock my socks off. Crystal Waterfall and Baroque (first two below) are from a time when I first noticed her work a couple years ago...



















Bead Lady is the name of her business. She's very young and beautiful, and lives in Moscow.

You won't see any thread showing in her bead work even with magnified glasses. Don't know how she does it.

She also has an Etsy shop...https://www.etsy.com/shop/beadladyru?ref=si_shop
