By virtue of noble jewellery enamel, my own works have commenced looking original. In despite of an overwhelming expenditure of labour and time, I am taking enjoyment in the process itself. Turning attention to each and every single little detail, I am endeavouring to harmonically combine natural minerals, silver, gold and enamels in the form of a mosaic. It takes me 20 hours and over two months of painstaking and meticulously precise work to create my works of art. All my works are unique and hand-made, since the!! technique is incompatible with serial production, while a deliberate attempt to replicate the same design manually would be unartistically tedious. So, every single piece is an original, one-of-a-kind, the like of which is never to be found anywhere in the world -- just as my floral models are all unique. I belong to a tradition that fuses high art with skillful craftsmanship -- no molds for clicheed serial production! If you are familiar with the legends of Slavic filigree tradition, here is your chance to actually purchase some of its miracles: an order from Arlee the Master.

Amongst our own friends that render their own assistance to us in a special way, I have got a desire to extinguish Sergei and Helen Pickoosh. They not only are astonishing parents of six wonderful little people, they are astonishing singers as well, whose creative genius is well-known in a great deal of the corners of the world. It is possible to find out more with reference to them, to make the acquaintance of their astonishing creative genius and to order their own albums by writing to them at the following address: serhio@alicetele.com

I would like to note that my friends from "Nash Promin" (Our Ray) organization of invalids experience care and attention including moral and financial support. In Ukraine it is very hard for invalids to be of use and importance. This, our friendship is even more valuable.

The social partnership of the kind I am promoting is little developed in Ukraine, because the government is not able to help our cause much. These unfortunate and homeless children are in great need of our attention, care, and aid. Our association has bought yarn out of our own pockets (fairly shallow, as we ourselves are not rich). Then we knitted over 100 warm and beautiful vests and 40 pairs of thermal socks, which we gave away to orphanages and to homeless children in the streets (there are many such as well, not even in orphanages!). That was all we could afford doing as a token of our love for them.

Our creative organization was founded in the spring of 2002. Since then we have already had immense experience in supporting homeless, needy, and unfortunate children. We are dedicated to continuing our work of popularizing the ideas and ideals of social partnership. Our association is also dedicated to getting handicapped children from Dneprodzerzhinsk involved in our skillful creative work, thus endowing them with a profession and a creative purpose in life, as well as with the sense of basic human worth and self-esteem.

I have devoted many years of my life to studying this rare form of creative work and art, an art that only a true connoiseur would fully appreciate. This creative art has deep national roots. As early as in ancient times, in Old Russia, centers for processing stones and metals appeared. In many museums across the world, there are samples of ancient Russian jewelry. In many Russian families pieces of such jewelry have been passed on from generation to generation as estate heritage. They are loved, cherished, and valued by their owners -- because the artists making them have invested their work with love and creative dedication. Every time I am about to make a ring, I draw many sketches of it, until I get it to correspond to what I recognize as the ideal artistic vision of it. Only then do I actually begin to make the piece. My pieces consist of many scores of various elements: the is filigree, the minute artistic forging, and the sets of many small dots representing the dewdrops on the filigree leaves and flowers. Assembled manually or/and by hot soldering, they then begin to incarnate a single whole. I affectionally call my rings "my ikebanas". Coated with the patinum film to endow them with the antique look of the tradition to which they rightfully belong, these pieces become more expressive and solemn. Made this way, they are real works of art, and they give their wearer a sense of partaking in the tradition they represent. In my products I use only natural inserts: amber, turquoise, tiger-eye, malachite, or pearls. All rings shown here can be made in any size at the request of the client. Also, their style can be supported by pieces made to order in the same style: earrings, pendants, or other ornaments for you, dear lady, or the lady in your life, dear sir.
