Saby Beaded Embroidery Collar
This piece consists of a bead embroidered collar attached to a twisted herringbone cord. This necklace was inspired by a fellow beader, Saby, who kept nudging me to try the twisted herringbone. The colors were inspired by the druzy cabochons.

Burlesque Butterfly
This is my entry “Burlesque Butterfly” for the Challenge of Beaders United. The theme was Wings. I had this butterfly for some time, and the idea of attaching it to leather was already in my head. Initially I wanted the butterfly just surrounded by beads, but that is not me, I ended up covering a […]

The centerpieces of this necklace are Tazwood cherry burl cabochons with subtle inlays of turquoise. They inspired me to create Autumn Splendor.

Then the contest “Best Dutch Beadworkartist 2014” came up. After finishing my contest necklace “Wild Flower” I felt like finishing that […]
