8.8.08 Purple Sunshield Earrings inspired by Elaine Sutton (Gypsy Moon)

In the beginning of my journey with beadwork, I saved a picture of earrings that I liked very much. Later on I couldn't track back its origin, till I found the site of Elaine Sutton a few days ago.

Look at those wonderful "Sunshield" earrings, it's no surprise they are so inspiring. I did mine with peyote stitch, while I think Elaine ones' are done with square stitch, but the idea remains the same...

6.8.08 Blue Square Earrings inspired by the "Basket Weave Links" designed by Judi Wood

These earrings were born after digging together with Varda in old Beadwork magazines. The project that inspired me is the "Basket Weave Links " by Judi Wood, in the December/January 2005 Beadwork magazine.

28.7.08 Impossible Tetrahedron

Well Gwen, you encouraged me to try the impossible tetrahedron after the impossible triangle. I am not sure it is without mistakes.

Only you can tell ;-)

I had to do the the embellishing row in three sessions ?! Wasn't it supposed to be one session as in the impossible triangle?

27.7.08 A dinner based on Purslane

During the weekend, we harvested dozens of figs from a neglected orchard in Bat Shlomo. We took a good amount of basil reserved for making some pesto and collected some purslane while cleaning the weeds from Omer's parents garden.

The Purslane served for a tasty omelet that Omer prepared, and an interesting alternative for the cucumber in our common salad.
