Rita Cirkse, a Latvian artist, as her jewelry shop name ALatvian, suggests makes some very unique accessories.

As Part II of the Structured Chaos, Shop and Swap, and Blog, I signed up for a international artist to swap goods with, Rita has sent me samples from each of her 3 shops.

I took the liberty of pairing some of her warm brown beads with round wooden beads of my own as I try to decide what to make with her beautiful supplies.

In addition to a owning a jewelry shop, she also sells natural stones and ceramic beads as seen above.

She sent me some these sparkling green beads. I think I’m going to try to make some earrings out of them, perhaps they will become Christmas gifts.

Or I could keep them. In my opinion, green is a color that looks great on redheads, blondes, and brunettes.

I love the shades of purple in these Mayan earrings!

I am so happy to have been able to share Rita’s work with you all today.
