Spring takes wing

Last fall PCDaily looked at Arden Bardol’s triangular shaped winged beads sold online through Artful Home.

Her spring circular version of the design is even more intriguing. Colors and patterns are added on both sides of flat circles. Two circles containing four patterns are curved and joined to small beads at their centers.

Gathered into a necklace, the beads turn and the patterns play against each other.

Another new design, Balancing Act, joins simple shapes in yet another way. Take a closer look at all of Arden’s award-winning designs on Facebook, Tallulah Belle’s online, nd her website.

Polymer balance

This 2.25″ x 2.75″ polymer pendant by Iowa’s Patti Kimle balances light and dark in a soothing and striking way. A fine silver bail repeats the daisy pattern.

Patti’s works are reflections of the nature around her and often contain inspirational messages. Subtle repetitions and her muted palettes add to the calming influence of her pieces.

Patti’s taught for years and has written three books but she shies away from the limelight. You can search her out on her blog, on Pinterest, on Etsy and on Facebook.

April eggs

Athens’ Klio Tsaliki winds her eggs with strips of pale pastel polymer and puts us in a springy Easter mood. The colors on her Waterfall Big Egg wash down the sides and carry away our winter blahs.

You can also sample her egg designs on Flickr and catch her work on Etsy and Facebook.

If you’re feeling April foolish and want more egg inspiration, go sample Blanka Prskavcová’s Pinterest board for Easter decorations.
