I am a self-taught professional illustrator and jewellery designer. I'm native russian, but for the last 5 year I live in Berkshire, UK, with my husband, two daughters and a dog.

Using found objects, semiprecious stones, crystals, various beads and stones, I hand sew or weave hundreds of tiny seed beads to create peaces of jewellry – necklaces, bracelets, pendants.

I am inspired by the colors, shapes and textures found in nature. Natural stones fascinate me. In my designs I try to accentuate the natural unique beauty of the stone with the help of different types and shapes of beads, seed beads, charms and findings. Many different stitches are often incorporated but the majority of my work is comprised of bead embroidery. The beads are hand sewn to a felt like base or woven 1 bead at a time until the desired size or shape of the piece is obtained. That’s at once very laborious and very exiting work!

You can buy my jewellery on my Etsy e-shop.

I am open to requests for custom made items. Feel free to contact me on arventurdesign@gmail.com.
