Palatial Bib Necklace
This necklace contains Czech cristals, velvet for the cordon, and size 11 and 15 seed beads. I added seed bead fringe with nylon thread to the velvet for the neck side cordon. For the main part I used eyepins which I ran through chain to form the structure. I used beading glue to affix the […]
Poppy Fields Necklace
The poppies have been glorious this year and those sudden flashes of red amongst the green in the countryside, and the lovely focal bead by Ciel Creations inspired me to make this necklace. The basic stitch is spiral weave, using lots of Czech leaf and flower beads as well as a few firepolish crystals. I […]
Mystery Of China Necklace
First I made some different size peyote stitch beads with nylon thread. Then I made one rose from organza and one of iron thread. I then constructed it, using different glass beads between the larger components.
Warm Red Knitted Bead Necklace
I knitted the neck part from waxed cord and I used beads and ribbon for the front piece.
The Golden Empress Necklace
This necklace was made with two sizes of gold and silver seed beads. The main part of the necklace is in a Victorian lace style and is made with small seed beads, and the center piece has a large amber cosmic shaped Swarovski crystal surrounded by larger gold and silver seed beads.
Sun Goddess Necklace
I wove a freshwater pearl with golden seed beads to create a rose feature. I used strong fireline to weave the seed beads around the freshwater pearl. I made a circle with the seed beads and then wove the pearl on, then working in rounds I added the petals. Around the rose sit clusters of […]
Diamond Drop Choker
Three different sizes of glass bicone beads are used, along with gold wire. I also substitute 6mm round or oblong lampwork beads for the center piece on the diamond. This is a fun piece to make and looks great with every outfit, from jeans to formal gowns.
Fall Rhapsody Necklace Set
The idea of this set came to me last fall and was inspired on a very sunny day. It was what we call Golden Fall. First, I weaved the necklace base using vertical netting stitch technique. I used tiny seed Czech beads #12 of amber color. Then I made seven leaves for the necklace and […]
Double-strand DNA Necklace
When I saw a sample of stitching seed beads into the twisted rope called DNA, I had to try it. It’s pretty time-consuming, especially with small #11 seed beads. After many weeks of starting and stopping, this is the result. I added silver spacers, my favorite green triangular beads and a toggle clasp.
Aquamarine Morning And Amethyst Night
One early spring day I was so inspired by the sky that I decided to recreate this picture. I felt like I was working on a painting… First, I made the base for the necklace, using seed and bugle beads. Then, I made two-layered and three-dimensional blossoming full flowers, also using seed beads and bugle […]
Back To Nature Necklace
This is a piece I have always wanted to create and many hours later I have succeeded! I have used the method of finger weaving to achieve this look incorporating gemstones, seed beads and my lampwork beads.
Ram Horn Peyote Stitch Necklace
I was influenced by Hittite figures and forms for this piece. I used the peyote technique with Japanese seed beads size 13 and size 15. The figure at the center of the necklace is handmade from 22 carat gold. I also used herringbone technique for clamps.
Catherine Cross Choker
A two-needle RAW weave using Swarovski 3mm pearls and Swarovski crystal bicones. The fastening is a beaded 8mm Swarovski pearl. The name is a reference to Catherine the Great, who was patron of the Arts while she reigned in Russia. The cross is a right angle weave exercise taught in Moscow beading schools.
Green Man Necklace
I fell in love with this Green Man lampwork bead, from Claire-Louise Patrick of Ciel Creations and wanted to make something that would suggest the abundance of the life cycle he represents. The necklace is in freeform spiral weave using Japanese seed beads with lots of Czech pressed glass leaves with flowers and butterflies and […]
Flame Necklace
As I work with an open flame I felt it was appropriate to create a necklace celebrating my passion. In this necklace my handmade lampwork beads, gemstones, and Japanese seed beads are finger woven together with my forged sterling silver pieces suggesting the lick of the flame.
