Description

Water is the miracle of life, ever-changing in its eternal cycle. My inspiration lies in its captivating forms – from serene ripples to the mesmerizing beauty of ice. In my design, the gentle motion of a water’s surface is frozen in a moment of crystalline stillness. Glimmering ice crystals, delicate yet radiant, capture the ephemeral and unique essence of every droplet. These “frozen diamonds” pay homage to water’s purity and irreplaceable nature, reminding us of the exquisite beauty and transformative power of this life-giving force.

Techniques:

  • Sinamay base blocking
  • Free-form sculpting
  • Stiffening
  • Wiring and binding
  • Hand-sewn 3000 pieces of glass crystal beads, size 3 mm and 4 mm, with transparent thread
  • Hand sewn comb
