My Mementos Bracelet
This bracelet was fun to make. I received some porcelain beads for Christmas in this Red, Black and White color theme. I dug through my supplies and found many of the little treasures that I put into this piece. I took 3 12″ strands of leather cord, and knotted them around the silver lobster clasp […]
Coloured Soul Tagua Necklace
This is a simple necklace to construct but fashionably effective. I paired tagua and acai berry with faux brown leather which I hand-knotted to allow the natural “vegetable ivory” tagua to show. The necklace is adjustable. I added cherry red acai berry beads to the ends for a finished look.
Asymmetrical Leather Necklace
This piece is made with navy blue goat leather (roll and circles) golden wood, resin and chain. I tried to make something very modern and different and the result was amazing. I loved it. I showed it in a Art Fair and it was a success. I sold it as the first place. The colour […]
Dance With Beads Bib Necklace
I embroidered on canvas with seed beads, bugle beads, and various sizes of glass beads in complementary earth tones. I then lined the canvas with leather.
Peace + Beads = Happiness
I found this brown brand resin pendant on a shopping trip and couldn’t wait to use it. I love working with earth tones and this pendant gave me the perfect opportunity to mix it up! I used a one leather cord, green and gold glass beads, brown branch resin pendant, a small flower charm and […]
White Rose Of Texas
I started by gluing the white resin rose to the leather, and then embroidered around it with white seed beads, crystals and pearls. I backed the creation with camel-colored leather. The necklace is strung with white beads of stone and resin as well as crystals of different sizes. It is about 20″ long.
Embroidered Floral Bracelet
I embroidered on canvas with seed beads, bugle beads, and glass beads in complementary blue tones. I then lined the canvas with leather.
Mackintosh Rose Necklace
This piece’s focal point is a blackstone pendant with a printed design, along with white bone and wood accent beads. The braided strapping is made of black, brown and white leather, with a handmade black wire clasp to finish it off. Black wire is used to tie the beaded sections and leather sections together. The […]
Turquoise And Copper Vines Necklace Set
This set came to be because of a wedding commission. I wanted to practice the tiara with copper before going with silver, and then decided it would make a great choker! The stones are Turquoise briolettes that I wired together as flowers with a Mookaite center. The leaf accents are also Mookaite. I used multiple […]
Nature Leather and Seeds Necklace
Necklace made with goat leather, jute, wood, and seeds from a fruit from Amazonas (a
Rustic Leather Necklace
This necklace is made with goat leather discs in different colors, strung on rami cord.
Ivory & Kronos Silver Core Bead
First, I made the bead from Italian and American glass on a large mandrel, making the bead hole 3/8″ in size. After it is run annealed, I cut a length of sterling silver tubing just a bit longer than the width of the bead. I hammer at both ends of the tubing until they flare. […]
Crackled Jade On Leather Necklace
There wasn’t any technique or skill required to make this necklace, but I think it is a great use for this type of double drilled bead. Just a single bead, large enough to make a statement strung from genuine leather cords. The honey yellow shade of the bead jumps off from the black cords.
Impact Necklace
This necklace is a combination of my work with my husband. He creates the leather part and I bead it. This one is made with goat leather, metal, resin, leather rolls and wood. We called it Impact, because it creates impact with any clothes we wear: black, white, green, brown, blouses or t-shirts. Try it […]
Kenya Bracelet
I used eight 19mm round acrylic bronze and white beads, and strung them on white leather, knotting the leather in between the beads. I used a bronze TierraCast toggle clasp. I hardly ever name my pieces, but when this bracelet was completed the name came to mind immediately. Length: Approximately 7-1/4″.
Imagination Facination Bracelet
This bracelet is an African opal bracelet with Czech crystal bi-cone flirts. How to make it: Cut two pieces of leather cord about 1 1/2″ shorter than you want it to be to allow for the focal bead and the clasp. I used a heavier 20 gauge half hard sterling silver wire, and did a […]
