Words initially failed me when I stumbled upon the work of JuliaGorinaBirds. This Russian artisan's creations are like no other bead embroidered designs I have ever seen.
The combination of textiles like cotton and silk combined with beads and stitching come together in amazing bird inspired brooches and earrings.
Her workmanship is just as exquisite on the back as it is on the front - see the back of the black swan bird brooch below.
While her Etsy store is very new, Julia has actually been creating jewelry on her Russian online store since 2007. Her first silk bird came out in 2010. In 2012, she won first prize on a large handmade Russian site and has gone on to participate in exhibitions and so on.
Julia actually makes a range of designs but concentrates on birds because that is what she is famous for! Check out her Instagram and click on the Process video to see how one of her bead embroidered creation came together.
Her workmanship is just as exquisite on the back as it is on the front - see the back of the black swan bird brooch below. Also impressive is her ability to create statement bird earrings as well as much smaller asymmetrical earrings.
