Professional beadwork, best samples. Big difference between real beadwork art & scheme-based pics

Hi world,
Here is 1st slideshow of best samples of my beadwork, from paintings to fancy dress decor. I wanna share it with you. Simple wanna show you a professional beadwork.


 


and, this is my largest beadwork


 


How you may know that my artworks are true art if there are a lot of same style artist around the world? Ok, 1st of all, I never use pre-made schemes, basic pics. You know what the plagiarism is. So, making beadwork using someone's pic as basic for beadwork is plagiarism. Or, in case that schemes are made for public and everyone can buy them to use, such beadwork made from pre-made scheme is just another copy of copy. Such beadwork & artworks are like pages from coloring book! Nothing special, nothing unique, just copy of copy of copy, etc. Everybody can use coloring books, but they are made for little children. Using them is not art at all !

You probably know how hard people in China can work. (I respect their ability to work really fast). And, you know that embroidery can be done by machine, right? So, how about beadwork which is made in China? Thousands of exact-same pics are being made for sale, everyday. These are made by machines. Perfect rows of beads, good job that is too hard for people to do. Pics are framed in good-looking plastic. And affordable prices as well. So, why waste time on foolish competition with bead embroidery machine? Machine can make thousand pics when a person makes a few. The differense is in content. Machine has no brain, no soul and no fantasy. If you're an artist, you understand what I mean. A talent is given to create unique artworks, not what can be made by machine. So, quality of artwork is most important think for art dealers. Well, somebody may say that others do beadwork too and their vids may looks more popular. Ok, if they buy views, it doesn't mean that their vids are really popular! Only youtube workers and channel owner really sees such paid views. Everybody who know webwork, know that too. Those who understand what is real beadwork art will never pay any attention on videos where is shown something made using pre-made schemes & basic pics. They know that machine can make such beadwork much better, and faster. Art dealers are looking for unique art to sell and re-sell it. I do real art without copying someone's art - I'm an artist, so i don't need to use others' pics to create mine. Each of my artworks is unique and I do all I can do to protect artwork from copying by machine. That takes time, and I use my fantasy for that. Remember, machine has no fantasy because on Earth only human have it!

Now, enjoy watching my art. Have a beautiful time !

Vintage beaded handbags - my collection

Hi friends,

At this time I wanna tell ya about my cute collection of "very-womanly cute things" - the most beautiful part of my collection of vintage handbags... I hope you'll love to see them. Here are 5 videos where you can see those cuties... Vintage handbags, that made by professional beadwork artists. The beauty of true fashion.... Created between 1910's and 1980's. Some of those handbags are from New York fashion weeks, others are from Chicago fashion week 1941, some are from: France, Italy, Bengal, Norway, British Empire and Germany. One of my faves, really unique handbag is from Hawaii. It has been made before Hawaii become 50Th state... Before joining the Union. That is a cool pieces of history... I enjoy it. I love the beauty... Real beauty, not poisoned by modernism, where is mostly everything is cheap-looking, simple and totally without fancy filigree... I adore fancy style, which is a real fashion! Take a look at these and you'll get what I mean... Modern style is too simple to be considered as artistic, as fashion... Watch videos, enjoy the beauty !











Ok, videos aren't in English but beauty doesn't depends from language. Beauty has no borders... I've posted this by request from my English-speaking friends, who saw vids on my channel on YouTube but had problems with translation...

Have a beautiful time, my dear friends and readers...

Luv ya all,

Шедевр вышивка бисером Американская Цыганская Королева / American Gypsy Queen Sofia

This story & video are about one of the best of my beadworks with swarovski crystals, sequins, beads & rhinestones: "American Gypsy Queen Sofia". She is the best friend of immortal princess Ameynra, the main character from my sci-fi fantasy books. American Gypsy Queen's name is Sofia, same as mine, and same as name my dad's grandma had... She was beautiful blue-eyes gypsy Queen from Europe.


Рассказ об одной из моих лучших бисерных картин с кристаллами и сваровски стразами, блёстками, металлическими элементами и антикварными монетами. Образ Американской Цыганской Королевы : имидж моей прабабушки, прекрасной женщины, обладавшей даром пророчества и сверхъстественными способностями. Её образ и имя постоянно со мной... Поскольку американская идея о свободе и независимости очень схожа с моим пониманием души цыганской королевы, я создала образ подруги для бессмертной Амейнры - мисс Американская цыганка София ;)

Чёрная магия, секта сатанистов 666 и секрет династии

Рассказ о том, какое отношение древняя секта сатанистов имеет к моему творчеству в литературе и изобразительном искусстве. Более 700 лет назад, задолго до начала истории Америки, также и до династии российских сталелийных магнатов, в северной Европе началась история о тонне золота древних сатанистов. Лидер секты, мой идеал красоты, спрятал свои накопленные сокровища на территории 8 стран. За несколько минут до начала кошмарной ночи он попросил жену запомнить фразу, которая является ключевыми словами к шифру карты сокровищ. Через столетия осталось несколько потомков, кто имеет право прийти туда вместе с ним (в реинкарнации) и забрать эту шикарную тонну. Сотни кладоискателей погибали в поисках сокровищ 1000 чертей и одной ведьмы. Тонна золота норвежских сатанистов пока никем не найдена, хотя сотни желающих безрезультатно пытались заполучить халяву. Верить или нет в эту легенду / историю - это ваше дело...



Звезда показала путь.
Безвозвратно.
Дорога на Север.
Однажды ночь соберёт нас всех вместе.

(Ок, вышенаписанные 4 строчки это обрывки послания троих из этой легенды.)

Это лишь часть из тех таинственных историй, которые я слышала от пра-прабулечки Софии, цыганской королевы из Германии ;) Я современная бизнес-леди, и моё время рассчитано по минутам. Темы моего творчества в изобразительном искусстве и литературе имеют диапазон от научно-космической фантастики до древних культов, от современной моды и компьютерной графики до эзотерики.

Обращение к тому, кто знает тайну древней династии и является хозяином сокровищ, которые спрятаны в руинах на территории 8 стран и принадлежит нам обоим : 36 поколений разделяют нас, но мы должны встретиться на пути.
