Architectural Beadwork by Apollinariya (Polina) Koprivnik...

Polina creates one of a kind pieces of jewelry that are totally original. I've never seen anything like her beadwork. Every once in a while a bead artist comes along and blows everyone's socks off. Well because of the wonderful Pinterest application (I made a board with just her beadwork), I have recently come across Polina's beadwork. She lives in Slovenia, and is originally from Russia. She's a beautiful young woman barely 30 years of age.

She's not that new, she's been beading up a storm for a few years now.

Here are just a few of her magnificent pieces which she posts on Instagram...

I predict she will be one of the most famous world known bead artist. I know I'll never be able to produce anything like she does, but it's fun to try.  I don't take beading classes any more because I have trouble sitting so long but if and when she is in my neck of the woods I shall take a class of hers. But thank the Lord she has tutorials!!! I just finished two of her tutorials below...

Polina's Lunasoft Earrings

Polina's Phoenix Brooch

Ulrike Gunther's PrettyNett Pendant...

Beaded by me. This was fun and easy!!! I once again had to use what beads I had on hand and well, not a great combo...

You can find her work at her Etsy shop...https://www.etsy.com/shop/PrettyNett, which is where I bought this tutorial.

Isabella Lam's Trivoli Pendant...

Found in her new book "Beautiful Beadweaving"

I don't like my colors but I used what I had in beads. I'm so amazed at this piece and how she designed it. It was fun and easy to make.

Miriam Cielo Shimon a Soutache Artist...

She's amazing! You can see or buy her products at her etsy shop below...

This is her Carnival Soutache Earring tutorial made by me. I love the finished pieces from her but I don't like how my Soutache always turns out. It's sloppy looking...

Be Still My Heart by Sabine Lippert...

Another beautiful cuff by Sabine Lippert. This is her elegant masterpiece...

She has wonderful kits and tutorials at http://www.trytobead.com/

I don't know why I did it, it just happened, and I made the columns different sizes for a little bit of a messy but artsy look...

My Hubble Button Cuff...

Using hubble stitch for the base I then embellished with these beautiful lustrous button beads...

Persian Tiles Bracelet Tutorial by Heather Collin...

This was fun to make. Heather creates easy to understand tutorials, and I love how mine (below) turned out...

Her Etsy shop is at https://www.etsy.com/shop/heathercollin where she has her tutorials, and patterns to purchase, and she is from South Africa!!!

Dream Catcher Tutorial by Regina Atkins...

This was published in Bead&Button magazine Dec 2014. I LOVED MAKING IT!!! The rope is an amazingly creative idea that I will use on other pieces of mine. This is my finished piece...

I really enjoyed making this. Thank you Regina!!!

Elizabethan Cuff by Helena Tang-Lim

Loved Helena's Elizabethan Cuff  as soon as I saw it, and knew I wanted to make one. So off to her Etsy shop to buy her tutorial. But alas, I had shitty beads, you have to have a lot of beads for this one and I settled for using what I had on hand. I will do one more of really nice beads. Here is mine...

Here is Helena's beautiful original...
