Caning in Belarus

Here’s an example of something that probably would have founds its way into our themed week on caning if I had been able to search with the right keywords in the right language and alphabet. Anastasyia Arynovich from Belarus creates absolutely beautiful canes and applies them in such a way that you forget about the cane; all you think at first is that she’s created something amazing.

The straight-forward, centered, and symmetrical design of these monochromatic earrings is simply gorgeous. Creating work that is this simple and eye-catching is no small feat. I have tremendous respect for perfectly executed design that uses the most basic concepts. Work like this requires just the right balance, just the right level of intricacies, and some serious skill and patience in construction and finishing.

The monochromatic kaleidoscope cane in these earrings is just a single example of the excellent work Anastasyia does. There are many more examples on her Flickr page, so many I couldn’t help but share one more! It’s just red, gray, and white, but isn’t this beautiful?

Go check out her Flickr photostream to see what she does with this cane, along with more of her well-executed work.
