Pod B e a d s

I'm fascinated lately with making beads, I think I know where it comes from.
I'm a big fan of modularity, creating a piece that can be used in various ways has always fascinated me.

So here are my Pod beads, and some items/photos made with it .

Small Pomegranate atmosphere lampshade





Yoola makes these oriental atmosphere crocheted lampshades using fine copper coated wires. The inspiration for her lamps are pomegranates. The detailed patterns and bright shiny colors create both magnificent shades when lighted and rich reflections during day time. When installed next to a wall unique shades are created, it can be installed in groups or as individuals. Ships from Isreal.
