Why do I love their work? It is beautiful, it is crazy, it is ornate, it is different from anything else, and it is so... Russian.... in a way....
I really wanted to figure out how to make those things. Guess, I did it. Not sure if I would ever try to make another one of this kind again, though - we are talking straight 60 hours of coralling! Mind I'm a Gemini!
It is heavy. It is over the top. It is something I'd wear once in a year (at most). But I did it ;)

Zoya and Tatiana - thank you so much for the inspiration!

This is stupendous. This is amazing. This is what I dream of my creations looking like, only I have never made it that far!!!! I stand in awe. Breathless. I adore this, and I want to learn how to do THAT!!!! Nancy
It's stunning - and well worth all of the effort. I've been admiring Zoya's work for a long time, but I'm not brave enough to attempt her style just yet. You totally nailed it! Superb work.
I've nominated you for the Sunshine Award: http://inspirationalbeading.blogspot.com/2010/01/poster-sketch-sunshine-award.html
Thank you one again!
Nancy, if you just go to Zoya's homepage, mylovelybeads.com and then to jewelry guide, then you'll find several great slide shows about "how to's".
Wow! I cannot find the words! I love everything about it! You are an amazing talent!
That's an incredible piece - you should be very proud!
It's absolutely beautiful! YOu're very talented. Keep up a great work!!!!

Well done girl!
I absolutely love it :-D
I have come back to look at this piece twice. Intriquingly beautiful~ both the justice you have done the cabs and your perfect beadwork. I love it.
Olga, it's absolutely amazing!!
In fact, it's hardly to express how beautiful your necklace is!!
Masterpiece! I'm breathless! Love it!
Ow! My eyes!! Super beautiful piece, Olga! I think you took Zoya's and Tatiana'a inspiration and made this piece your own - Fantastic work! Maybe you should try entering it in the Bead Dreams competition... :)
Oh, I've seen the works of these talented women. Zoya befriended me on my You tube channel and Tatianna sent me a personal 'thank you' note for a comment I left on one of her works. It's humbling to find such talented women being so down to earth and approcahable. You did an amazing job of your interpretation although I must say you, my dear, are equally talented.....This piece is breath taking!!!!
WOW, your work is stunning, best of luck.
I'm always excited to see your pieces because I love your stily, and Olga, your work just gets better and better! I would give anything to spend time learning from you.
My comment should say I love your *style*!
Jätteskoj att hitta hit....vilket jag gjorde via Etsy när jag sökte lokalt. Du är grym!
