Wrapped Bracelet
For this bracelet I used 4mm Czech glass beads I bought at a bead show, bronze-colored leather and Griffin silk thread. The button used was purchased from a store that was going out of business. The bracelet wraps around the wrist one time. This was my first attempt at making a wrapped bracelet.
Kaleidoscope Beaded Cuff
Kaleidescope Cuff is a celebration of colour, form and texture. I started off with a brass blank interior and covered this with pink Ultrasuede. I try to avoid using dressed leather as some people are allergic to the dressing. The Ultrasuede has been glued down with industrial strength glue and cut slightly larger than the cuff […]
Aqua Circles Necklace
I used silver tigertail and crimp beads to connect the circles to each other. The exposed tigertail is covered in long bugle beads, faux pearls & silver spacers. A lobster clasp is attached to the back. The middle piece is made up of a beaded hairpin. The one side is threaded onto the main piece […]

Tools: 2 pairs of long nose pliers, chain cutter and round nose […]
Longevity Jade Pendant Necklace & Earrings
I was inspired by the “longevity symbol” jade pendant bead and added accent silver chain links and purple crystal beads to drape from the pendant piece to create a contemporary feel. Then I used beading wire and threaded rectangular sunstone beads, marble, tumbled green aventurine stones and sterling silver accent bead caps to create this […]

Carnelian And Turquoise Necklace
I use to shy away from turquoise only because of the way the pieces were set. They were all the same. It is such a beautiful stone and such a compliment to many other stones, I couldn’t help myself. This combination reminds me of a sunset walk on the beach, cool waves and warm skies. […]
Good Juju Wire Wrapped Collar
This piece was inspired by a friend’s Kenyan necklace made of bone & horn. I loved the strong shapes and the way the horns tapered around the sides of the neck. My beaded version looks nothing like hers, but it captures a similar earthy, bold feeling. I made frames with 20 gauge sterling plated copper […]
Chunky Green Necklace
To get the sturdy shape of the necklace I used about 4 lengths of wire together and formed it into the shape of a horse shoe. Then I attached the clasp on each end. Starting from one end, with one strand of wire I threaded different beads (in the same colour group) on and twisted […]
Ring Of Fire Necklace
This necklace was a challenge to make! I wanted to incorporate strands of cord in with the beads and was unsure how to fasten them all together neatly. I ended up using a 26 gauge wire to bind the cords together, then I stitched seed beads over the wire with thread so the wire wouldn’t […]
Ocean Treasures Necklace
Most of my inspiration comes from nature and the environment that I live in. I live on the north coast of British Columbia Canada in a small port/fishing town. When I came across the wire mesh in the teal color I instantly thought of fishing nets capturing the sealife in its path. This is my […]
Black And Red Sixties Choker
This choker is made of red coral rondelle beads and big black square onyx donut beads. All from China. I made this choker on just one metal thread and finished it off with a Tibetan silver toggle clasp. This necklace reminds me of the sixties and I really like the bright red of the coral […]
Scrunched Curb Chain Bracelet
This bracelet is made with three medium size Moss Agate stones with curb chain threaded on stretch magic elastic to give this link effect. This bracelet is stunning and goes with so many outfits! I love the look of these bracelets and make them using many different beads and other materials.
Romance Necklace
This necklace is made of sterling silver chain with a centerpiece of genuine garnet set in sterling silver. The main design is made from sterling silver eyepins threaded with Swarovski montees and finished off with sterling wave chain and two Swarovski heart drops. I decided to make this design as I wanted something very different […]
Green Brown Agate And Shell Necklace
I made this necklace on just one (metal) thread, with a brown and green agate bead and a tiny white fresh water pearl as a pendant. I used green mother of pearl donuts with a dark brown glass pearl in the center and the same big oval agate and mother of pearl beads as the […]
Pink Shell And Crystal Necklace
This piece was created around the pendant. I wrapped the large round pink shell with silver plated wire and threaded the little flower charms through the wire as I wrapped. Since the pendant was large, I went with a longer necklace, using clear crystals, pink jasper, and salmon glass beads with a metallic hue. The […]
Cowrus Men’s Hemp Necklace
This is a 19″ hemp necklace designed for men (it’s a bit thicker than normal). It contains 6 cowrie shells and a BUNCH of metallic colored plastic beads. I started off with regular square knot and adding the metallic beads. I strung the cowrie shells by adding a jump ring to either end of the […]
Long Black Brown Gemstone And Copper Necklace
This long sturdy necklace is very easy to make. It is the beauty off the beads that makes it. I put small onyx beads, long tube red jasper beads, golden brown rectangular mother of pearl beads, small dark orange carneol beads, golden brown freshwater pearls and a lot of red copper rings together on just […]
