It measures 17″ around and has a toggle clasp. I used two strands […]
Red Glass Autumn Necklace
First, I made these round beads from off cuts glass. Due to unknown C.O.E. of the glass I couldn’t mix any other colors on the beads hence I made the disc beads to add interest to my piece. I strung some citrine chips on small waxed linen thread in different length with small knots on […]
Romantic Dreams From 1940’s Silk Bib Necklace
I designed and hand-sewed this beautiful, romantic bib necklace with pearls and silk fabric. I embellished the necklace with pink freshwater pearls and added a Swarovski crystal and copper brooch. I used a satin ribbon for closure, so the length is adjustable.
Heart Of The Ocean Necklace
The cabochon I used was my inspiration for the entire bead embroidery necklace. I used Swarovski crystals, beads and pearls. The freshwater pearls and shells I found on the beaches during holiday. The back is finished with ultra suede. The clasp is also my own design and made with a Swarovski rivoli, O-beads etc.

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 […]
Warm Red Knitted Bead Necklace
I knitted the neck part from waxed cord and I used beads and ribbon for the front piece.

The necklace is strung with white beads of stone and resin as well as crystals of different sizes. It is about 20″ long.
A White Dream
I used pearls in diferent sizes, fish scales, mother of pearl, antique beads, and antique swade leaves. I embroidered all of this onto an antique piece of material. In the back I used a fine piece of bronze in the same shape, covered by grey velvet, and used some memory wire inside to help keep […]

Dragonfly Billabong Necklace
Dragonfly Billabong is a representation of the centrality of water in Australia, a country where droughts feature often with a few “good” years thrown in between in order to make us forget. I used Lacy’s Stiff Stuff as the foundation. I dyed the white foundation with permanent black dye powder mixed into water and let […]
Burlesque Butterfly

Initially I wanted the butterfly just surrounded by beads, but that is not me, I ended up covering a […]
