Coco

Inspiratsioon- Coco Chanel, eebeni ja elevandiluu/koorevärvid, Art Deco. Tosinast käevõrust koosnev seeria on käsitsi õmmeldud antiikpitsist, külluslikult tikitud detailid.
.........Inspiration- Coco Chanel, shades of ebony and ivory, Art Deco fashion. Small collection of cuffs- made from antique lace and silk, lavishly beaded details.

Work in progress

Pärlitega ülekülvatud tüll, siid, pits..nendest detailidest mida olen viimasel nädalal tikkinud tekivad mõne aja pärast kaelakeed, gamma on sügisene, seega kiiret pole :)

A snapshot of embroidered details at my working table I've been creating recently, these will be used at my new range necklaces for autumn..

Neytiri- Avatar inspiration

Olen mitmeid kordi seda filmi vaadanud ja jätkuvalt utoopilise planeedi floora lummuses.. Mõned prossid tekkisid selle inspiratsiooni käigus ja ideid on ka käevõrudeks-keedeks mida mõnes järgmises postituses siis esitlen.

......I've seen this movie several times now and utopian planet Pandora continues to inspire me with its enchanting Flora and mysterious creatures. These brooches were created with this inspiration, cuffs and necklaces to come in near future. Delicate and mysterious feel with a touch of tribal...image from Google

talvetoonid/shades of winter

Ka talv inspireerib, oma näilise värvivaesusega. Käsitsi maalitud õrnad kameed harmoneeruvad vana pitsi tekstuuri ja iseloomuga. Säravaid elemente on lisatud ainult jaopärast- et tekstiili enda ilu mitte varju jätta.

........

Though I love all colors, recent creations are influenced by monochrome shades-these very subtle nuances of winter, Regency era delicate garments, Jane Austen novels and some lovely old lace/silk remnants. Hand painted small cameos harmonize with the texture and nature of old lace pieces.

Earrings! Kõrvarõngad...

Viimase poole aasta inspiratsioon on kõrvarõngad- mida rohkem eksperimenteerida seda rohkem ideid tekib- üks idee viib teiseni nagu tavaliselt. Sügisesed ja suvised olid rohkem värviküllased, talvised on õrnad ja sätendavad, nagu Lumekuninganna ehtekarbist. Kõige viimased katsetused tõid ellu tillukesed pärlitega tikitud kroonid- punane samet, vana kuld.
...................
From autumn into winter I have been inspired about to create earrings- winter designs look like a little pieces of ice- delicate, fragile and elegant, a sparkling treasures from Snow- Queen's jewelry-box. The picture above features the very latest inspiration- little embroidered crowns made of lush red velvet and old gold seed beading:

Elizabeth

Veel üks suur kaelaehe, inspireerituna filmist" Elizabeth: The Golden Age". Kee on "ehitatud" 60-70' tekstiilidest, intuitiivselt tervikuks õmmeldud/tikitud. Külluslikult kaunistatud tillukeste meekarva pärlitega.

Another huge freeform- embroidered neckpiece, inspired of "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" I 've been musing this movie so long, it was obvious that something will be created one day out of this inspiration. This elaborate necklace is "built" of 60' painted rusty silk dress remnants and 70's bright blue silk blouse into organic piece. It is entirely hand sewn and embroidered, combining very fine, invisible stitches with rough and colorful dimensional surface design elements- applique, embroidery, textures- and adorned with lavishly hand beaded accents.

Costumes of "Elizabeth: The Golden Age"

Tribal Priestess

The newest freeform embroidered neckpiece. The process of creating these pieces is excitingly magical since I do not use any sketches, but trust the material to “tell” me the choice of thread, next stitch, a drop of color.. beading pattern. It is deeply meditative state of mind, to let subconscious freely follow the sense of color and feel of different textures. The result is painterly and emotional. "Tribal Priestess" is made from wide array of different materials- vintage lace and velvet, antique Victorian embroidered black tulle, reconstructed pearls, silk, hand beading...
