Handmade Fused Glass Art Panel with Botanical Design - Contemporary Glass Decor

This handmade fused glass art panel is inspired by delicate botanical forms and organic movement. Created through kiln-forming, layers of clear and turquoise glass fuse together, forming soft, dandelion-like patterns with natural air bubbles that add depth and texture 💖

Each fused glass piece is one of a kind, shaped by the way glass shifts and settles in the heat. The result is a contemporary glass artwork that plays with light, transparency, and subtle color variations throughout the day.

Set on a wooden base, this panel brings a calm, modern presence to any space and reflects the quiet beauty of handmade glass art.

Spring themed Fine Art Nature Closeup Macro Photography

The winter tightens its grip on Sweden with each day yet there is still hope… at least I hope it is :) Don’t get me wrong I love winter, snow, ice and cold but sometime a girl needs to get cheered up with some strong colors :) So I decided to decorate our living rum with a series of my spring-themed macro shots. Strong lime greens colors of nature awakening from the winter slumber should be perfect for curing any kind of gloomy mood me think :) Here they come...

The idea of making a series came from a photographer friend of mine, Irina. Check out her amazing "One Tulip story" series!


Oh and did you know that in many folklores and literatures, Green is the color of nature, fertility, life. Grass green is the most restful color. Green symbolizes self-respect and wellbeing and is the color of balance. It also means learning, growth and harmony and has become a symbol of environmentalism. Green is a safe color, if you don't know what color to use anywhere use green.
Green contains the powerful energies of nature, growth, desire to expand or increase. Balance and a sense of order are found in the color green. Change and transformation is necessary for growth, and so this ability to sustain changes is also a part of the energy of green.

Pandoras Beauty - Fine Art Nature Photography - Abstract Succulent Closeup

I have finally seen James Cameron's Avatar movie and I was completely blown away! Not by the story (obviously) but by the whole new world what is pictured there. It reminded me a lot the Pandora planet from Soviet Science Fiction writers brothers Strugatsky books but I won’t go into that now :) Anyway that computer animated world has given me a lot of ideas and I think I’m going to make a whole collection dedicated to Pandora planet.

So here is the first piece :) Ta da… Pandoras Beauty - a macro shot of a Succulent plant. It looks almost like something living in Pandora's forests...

oh and I found my earlier piece that could have been from the same forest, what do you think? :)

Mad Scientists of Etsy (MSOE) monthly challenge - "Photosynthesis"

So the January is over and here are the results of the monthly challenge from Mad Scientists of Etsy (MSOE). This month’s challenge was a creation inspired by the theme of "Photosynthesis".

…just a little bit of mandatory nerd (= science) talk now :)

Photosynthesis is a metabolic pathway that converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds, especially sugars, using the energy from sunlight. Photosynthesis occurs in plants, algae, and many species of Bacteria, but not in Archaea. In plants, algae and cyanobacteria photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen as a waste product.

Now isn't that convenient for us, people and animals that need oxygen to breathe :)

So I've decided to make two entries - both are flowers (duh!?), because they are pretty and Photosynthesize :) The first one is a Flower necklace with gorgeous Sky Blue Topazes and Green Agate rondelles (more examples of my Gemstone Flowers)

The second one is a macro shot of a beautiful pair of Crocuses that I took last spring.


The February month’s challenge is "Mycology", now that should be fun :)

"The Unbearable Lightness of Being" - weekly challenge

So it is Monday today, which means the dead line for of the weekly challenge. This weeks theme was a creation inspired by the Milan Kundera's book "The Unbearable Lightness of Being"(chosen by this week's boss HeliS).

I have always enjoyed photographing. I‘ve got my first camera when I was 10 (I think) and I’ve been taking pictures non-stop ever since :) First it was just a hobby, when later on it became of necessity for my jewelry business as well. I’ve got lots of positive responses about pictures that I take for my jewelry so it was only a matter of time before I would collect the courage, take the plunge and start posting my digital work :) and so I’m at the last step now…Mandalas was easy, most of us still have that little kid inside who is amazed by the kaleidoscope pictures :) Posting my nature shots is much harder because there are so many amazing Photo artists out there and I don’t really think I’m at their level yet, but maybe with your help and critique I will get there some day :)

Anyway, here is my entry... "Unbearable Lightness" - a macro shot of beautiful Snowdrop flowers that I took last spring ( cant wait for this spring to come, now when I have a new camera! :) I felt that tiny white flower-drops was a perfect interpretation of "Lightness", yet they seems to be just a bit too heavy or "Unbearable" for the plant to keep them up towards the sun...
