A Little Bit of Russia...

I love the steeple churches...this makes me think of Dr. Zhivago...
that is definitely a Viking ship...

I love the headgear...nicely rendered...

I love the way the mother of pearl shows through and looks like Aurora Borealis lights...

that is so clever with the mother of pearl sky and shimmery lake...

lacquerwork mirror featuring a particular Russian fairytale, I'm sure...

A thriftstore find for a couple of dollars...but I wanted something Russian Double Eagle...and there it is, part of the bargain...

A Russian Perfume Invoking Red Square

looks exactly like St. Basil's Cathedral...

oh, in case you don't read Cyrillic like me, the perfume is Krasnaya Moskva.

Peridot...

just love faberge eggs!
the porcelain bead necklace was fun to put together...

A little bit of Tibet

My sweet sister got me these wonderful pendants, of which this Tibettan horned head featured below, has been paired with bone, jade, onyx and cats eye beads...it works!
