Cellular Flow

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the exact patterning in these fine little earring by Norway’s Liudmyla Heggland under a microscope in high school. Was it plant material? A water sample? I’m not sure but I am drawn to it. I like the lazy energy of the flow in the canes and lines as they move around the oblong beads. They feel like a Sunday on a slow Spring afternoon, don’t they?

Liudmyla creates intricate seed beaded designs in her jewelry as well, combining the orderliness of planned beading with the more spontaneous look of her predominantly marbled polymer. Look for more cellular inspiration on her Flickr photostream.
