I first saw Olga Romanenko’s gorgeous seed bead work in her blog post at Land of Bead Fantasies about this glorious necklace called Wood Nymph:
Olga wrote to me: “I used four types of seed beads (2 green types and 2 yellow types) in order to achieve the most gradual color change. My Mom said the necklace might be used for eye relaxation because of its colors. It seems to me the necklace is similar to hair of dryad so I called it Wood Nymph.”
I asked Olga about some of her other work and whether she would please please please share some of it with us. She wrote that she likes using natural gemstones in her jewelry making, and has a fairly large collection of them. The necklace shown below is produced by using garnet beads. Besides jewelery, Olga also likes to make home decor items, like beaded eggs or toys. The Chicken, also below, is made on basis of a beaded egg. How cute is that?
Olga Romanenko’s work with seed beads is exquisite. The little yellow chick is really cute.
