Elegant Zebra Bracelet

The focal lampwork bead in this bracelet was made by me in my home studio in Pompano Beach, FL. of Italian soft glass and was designed to look like a zebra skin. The bracelet is accented by Swarovski crystal, czech glass, and sterling silver.

Burnt Orange Bronze Necklace

I wanted to make something that makes a statement, so I used a large textured bronze pendant and attached three strands of small beads on one side, and one strand of larger beads on the other side. I added a few charms to the pendant and finished it with a bronze chain and toggle clasp […]

Peach Perfect Necklace

I have made this elegant piece with the method of finger weaving incorporating freshwater potato pearls, Japanese seedbeads and my focal lampwork bead. I was after a soft and feminine look which had a natural flow.

Cherry Blossom Festival Necklace

I was inspired by spring, so I made a 5 strand necklace with pink and green pearls, handmade lampwork beads, Swarovski crystals, Czech glass beads, Aurora Borealis glass leaves, Czech glass gold-veined leaves, antique brass finished leaves, golden dragonflies, cloisonn

Grass Koi Necklace

This necklace was made using Beadalon 49 strand flexible wire and was inspired by the idea of the lush green surroundings of a summer pond. The fish pendant is Hill Tribe Thai silver, and the beads are vintage West German Givre glass, Swarovski crystal, Delica seed beads, Czech glass, and celery colored freshwater pearls. The […]

Moss Agate Circle Gemstone Beaded Necklace

This piece consists of a moss agate circle pendant, accented by a sterling silver flower charm, wire wrapped to a strand of watermelon tourmaline gemstones.

Tayor’s Ice Earrings

When I made these cute earrings, my young neighbor said “those look like ice cubes!” so they became Taylor’s Ice.

Copper Wire Spiral Necklace

The ideas for this set came to me in piece meal. It took longer to decide what to do next than it did to actually make it. The beads in this set are Crazy Horse (which I love), and Natural New Jade for accent beads. The wire is copper. All parts, (except for the beads), […]

Punk n Funk! Neclace

It was another day at work, but it was different! I just could not get a hang of what to create, given so many new beads lay in front of me. That’s when I strung this neckpiece by clubbing all the funky beads together. The inspiration behind this necklace is punk. I love the clashing […]

Little Bit Gypsy

About 3 years ago I made a bracelet “Gypsy” (also on Beadage), with the intention to make a necklace as well, because I really fell in love with this bracelet. And then…nothing, no inspiration. Then the contest “Best Dutch Beadworkartist 2014” came up. After finishing my contest necklace “Wild Flower” I felt like finishing that […]

Beaded Chain Maille Bracelet

I like doing chain maille pieces. This one started with a 3-4 chain to which I added drops of fire polished red and blue/gray beads. There is a toggle clasp on this piece. The rings are stainless and the wire holding the beads is nickel silver.

Bluesy Lampwork Pendant

These lampwork beads were the first in my series of two-two beads featuring an opaque half and a transparent half of the same color. I have made these glass beads from moretti/effetre glass with a trail of fine silver melted through the middle. Swarovski crystals and sterling silver accents finish off the pendant.

Brazen Necklace

I created this necklace by stringing African Blue stones, Blueberry glass, Bronzite, Czech Fire-polished bronze glass beads, and seed beads. This necklace is finished off with an antique silver lobster claw clasp.

Victorian Rose Earrings

I have used an antique bronze metal rose in a vintage style for these earrings. The rose has an aged patina and a rhinestone in the centre. I have attached hand wired aged bronze hoops to the bottom of the rose. A lovely white Swarovski pearl dangles from the hoop. I have used antique bronze […]

Goddess Necklace

This is a long necklace, that has a romantic touch to it. It is made up of light green foil glass twists, faceted clear glass beads, jade, glass pearls, Tibetan silver, seed beads and a gorgeous goddess bead to finish it off. The twirl on the end is sterling silver wire.

Sea Palling Iolite Necklace

For this piece I wanted intimate how the sea – beautiful but menacing – is threatening our coastline. Sea Palling is a village on the North Norfolk coast which is under threat from coastal erosion. I tried to capture both the beauty of the sea and the threat in this necklace of inky blue iolite […]

Purple Passion 3 Strand Bracelet

A 3 strand bracelet made of purple cat’s eye beads, round frosted beads, and silver spacers. A multistrand clasp finishes the piece.

Three-strand necklace with stone pendant

The strands consist of copper-tone and magenta seed beads, turquoise beads, silver spacers, E-beads, and my favorite green triangular beads. I approached this necklace like I sometimes approach a quilt project–what “scraps” do I have sitting around?

Carnelian Lampglass Bracelet

This piece was constructed with lampwork glass beads, czech glass, Swarovski crystal, and silver spacer beads. The bracelet was finished with a sterling silver toggle clasp.

Ming Tea Necklace

Ming Tea 22″ Necklace and 7 1/2″ braclet take on an ancient age using two imported 900 year old Ming pottery shards delicately framed as the focal beads. I also make 2,000 year old coin jewelry, so found it a treat to find out about the ancient Chinese Ming pottery shards from a artisan friend, […]
