St. Tropez Wire Pendant

This piece is inspired by mid summer-the colours look so cool on a hot hot day, the colours make me think beach sand and cocktails!

This necklace is made of various Swarovski crystals and silver findings. It is strung on Beadalon 49 .018 silver plated steel wire. I love both of these materials, and I think they suit each other very well.

My Little Angel Necklace

I created this necklace when a dear friend of mine lost her little boy to SIDS. I used 17″ of silver chain. I strung together pewter letter beads, with the initials of her son, using 20 gauge silver wire. I linked it onto the chain. To create the angel, I used a 3 inch head […]

Sterling Silver & Bone Bead Pendant

This wire wrapped piece was created using sterling silver wire, natural carved bone beads, and a red glass bead. I had no set design in mind when I began this one. The only thing I had to go by was the general “leaf-like” shape. I added some swirls and then decided on some neutral colored […]

Faceted Quartz Earrings

Rose quartz rondelles coupled with green quartz flat teardrops make these earrings simply perfect!

Ocean Waves Bracelet

I am often inspired by my surroundings and living in South Florida definitely had an effect on this one. The handmade lampwork focal was made by me in my home studio in Pompano Beach, FL of Italian soft glass. The bracelet is accented by shell chips and sterling silver.

Czech Druk Satin Blue Glass Bead Earrings

These were made using silver plated earwires, silver plated chandelier pieces, 6mm silver plated filigree balls, 4mm Czech druk satin blue glass beads, and silver plated eyepins.

Blue Rain Necklace

I’ve created this necklace using African cream disk trade beads, cream coral beads, and West African lost wax brass beads (basket shape). To add color to this piece I’ve added blue turquoise beads and antique gold Bali style spacers. Completing the necklace is a 22mm oxidized copper ring as the toggle clasp. This necklace measures […]

Lilac And Purple Bracelet

This very light weight bracelet has over 100 individually wrapped beads attached to a metal chain. There are 4 beads in every chain link. I’ve used a mixture of acrylic lilac beads, purple Swarovski beads and very small purple acrylic beads. The S hook allows for easy adjustment. Just hook into any chain link to […]

Frozen Summer

This is the first time I’ve worked with sterling silver. I designed a pendant, and while I was working, more ideas came to mind. I had no idea that you needed so many different techniques and materials in working with silver, but I loved it. The stone inside is a blue Goldstone, lovely. It looks […]

Goldie Beaded Bookmark

This beaded fish bookmark is one of the fish bookmark that I have made for my “Fish Fry Club” series. I wanted bright cheery colors to make the beaded bookmark pop and so for this beaded fish, I used shining glittering metallic coated Miyuki seed beads. I attached a Czech pressed glass leaf for the […]

Primitive Treasure Necklace

I enjoy working with a mixed media–this particular piece is an example of that. A woven waxed cord with 28 of my wire wrapped lampwork beads, each with a malachite bead on each pin. I’ve ended the woven work inside 2 domed lampwork caps. Soldered sterling silver rings hold my handmade centrepiece of textured copper […]

Black & Pink Rhapsody Earrings

These beautiful earrings are made with glass beads with a rose design and surrounded by Swarovski crystals. Earwires are 14k gold plated. Measures 1 1/2″. These are the perfect accent to your spring wardrobe! So pretty and sparkly.

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 […]

Chunky Mookite Bracelet

Mookite (also spelled Mookaite) has a warmth and richness of color making it perfect for fall. What you will need: 7 – 12mm faceted puffed mookite coins 6 – 4mm bicone Czech crystals 7 – 2″ pieces of 22 gauge round half hard sterling wire 6 – 1″ pieces of 24 gauge round half hard […]

Electric Blue Bracelet

When I was a child in New Jersey my mother went through a phase where everything in our home was electric blue and chartreuse. This bracelet really brings me back to those times! The handmade glass beads are complimented nicely by the bright sterling silver chain, bells and clasps.

Autumn Leaves Bracelet

This bracelet is made using 14kt gold filled wire and lots of little glass beads left over from other projects. I twisted some curlicues, wired up some beads and hung them on the curlicues. I also made the simple hook and eye clasp from 14kt gold filled wire. This one twinkles, it is one of […]

Simone Vintage Pink Leather Rose With Coffee Beads

A large leather rose in a dusky pink is the focal point for this necklace. I have attached it to sit asymmetrically and hand wired a trail of smooth coffee coloured beads which swoop around the bottom of the necklace. The piece is secured by a black satin ribbon which ties around the neck.

Multi-coloured Tile Bracelet

I bought these tile beads but had no idea what I would do with them. I’ve been making what I call “eyepin bracelets” and thought that these tiles might look great linked in between two gold chains. I found some leftover Swarovski crystals that matched many of the colours in the tile beads. I’ve had […]
