I hope you’ve missed my beading stories in 2024! It’s been a busy year, and I dedicated it to studying different subjects in art. Why? You will find out soon!
Meanwhile, I will tell you what did I do in 2024?
Druzy Collection
Any collection starts with an idea. Mine began with a druzy idea.
I purchased a couple of dozens of beautiful stones and got inspired by the natural beauty of the sparkles they produce. Since all of them were uniquely shaped and carved I wanted to make beadwork design around them also unique. Take a look at the first part of the collection here.
Beadweaving Tutorials
It’s been a while since I took any bead weaving classes from other designers. I’ve been very focused on producing designs that are not influenced by anybody else, but I still wanted to explore and learn something new.
This year, I took some time to create beadwork following a talanted Russian artist A. Gromova’s tutorials.
Now I have three pendants for the holidays season!
Watercolor
Many hours during the 2024 I gave to watercolor online classes.
If you were following me on Social Media for a couple of years, you knew this theme is going to appear soon on my blog.
Painting flowers (mostly) has been a good starting point to learn the fundamentals of color mixing and a composition perspective. I painted numerous flower portraits, dozens of landscapes, and urban sketches during the year.
If you are an artist looking for inspiration and tips, I already have lots of interesting ideas to share with you.
Watercolor helps me complete the mathematical world of beads with more creativity, flow, and color. If you feel the same, subscribe to my blog and watch for new art stories and tips.
Year in Review
Studying takes lots of energy but gives back times more than you expect!
I hope to share everything I learned with you soon! It’s probably not going to be in the form of a video. Unfortunately, I noticed many active designers using my free video tutorials for their profit. It upsets me but doesn’t stop me from creating!
Let me know what would designs would you like to see on my website in 2025! I have many ideas to implement, but I want your ideas to be first mentioned!
