Purple owl bag charm

Another bag charm, with soft felt purple owl, glass beads and silver-coloured clasp and chains.








Brooch "Life stages"

Inspired by my previous work - the life stages of fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a view under a microscope. A GFP-tagged and, let's say, an mCherry-tagged nuclear proteins - pick your favourites! Some dirt in the field - let's be realistic. Charcoal-grey felt, green and red seed beads and embroidery.

Leather heart brooch - from the olden times

I made this brooch when was at school, using some leather pieces my grandmother had. I don't remember where the beads came from... I was very proud of it at the time, and still am (minus the stitches).

Embroidered jewellery box

I found plastic canvas for sale in the local sewing shop and wanted to give it a try. The embroidery  took ages, but I finally finished it - what a relief! Acrylic thread (dark green, pale yellow, dusky pink and lilac), dusky pink cotton lining, purple glass bead and green ribbon to fasten the lid. The size is 9x9x4.5 cm.







Furry earrings

This is a historical artefact - I made these earrings when I was at school.
