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.

24.7.08 Brianna Necklace designed by Cheryl Assemi

I made this necklace following the Brianna necklace scheme in the "Beaded Elegance" book by Cheryl Assemi. I saw for the first time this beautiful necklace done by Mariko Yamamoto about more than a year and really wanted to make one. So here it comes...

These days, I am working on earrings to suit the necklace, which are in a continuous pattern and one needle rather than in 3 or 4 rows and 2 needles...

22.7.08 Congratulations Omer!

A small present I designed for celebrating Omer's B.Sc.Agr!

20.7.08 Isalala Cabochon by Pencio

I haven't decided yet what to do with this Isalala, a design kindly shared by Pencio.

Maybe a ring or a pendant?!

The cabochon is beaded around one of the lampwork beads I got for my birthday.
