Mariia Furundzhi - Sunseeking Lady

I work in various techniques. When creating bracelets, necklaces, and earrings, I primarily use Japanese seed beads, working on a loom or using hand-weaving techniques such as peyote, brick stitch, herringbone, netting stitch, chevron stitch, and others. When making brooches, I incorporate embroidery, using not only seed beads but also Swarovski pearls, crystals, natural stones, sequims, and threads. Mostly I use sterling silver or gold plated sterling silver findings.
