designer of the week

mary jane dodd

welcome kate koroleva who comes to us from moscow!

kate is a lampworker ~

she picked up the rich colors from the palette... just look at all of the detail on her focal bead! i like the dangles she hung from the focal - lots of interest, texture and subtle color variation there... you can see more of kate's work on her flickr page... but she also has a website where she shares tutorials... 

thank you kate for participating - she also submitted a second design where she worked in brighter colors... but i had to pick just one - it wasn't easy!
