All my life I have been involved in painting, drawing, and sculpture but once I discovered beads all of my passions seemed to blend into one medium. It's amazing what these little beads can become. I have been creating beaded jewelry for the past 20 years.

Golden Ambition Bracelet Project

Golden Ambition Bracelet

This bracelet was created with an off loom beadweaving technique using golden glass seed beads, embellished with semi-precious carnelian and blue freshwater pearls. As a healing stone, carnelian is believed to be a stone of ambition and drive. It protects the user from negative emotions and inspires positive courageous confidence.

This is a grouping of three bead embroidered cuff bracelets created using different types of fabric, leather, suede, glass seed beads, freshwater pearls, glass beads and semi-precious jade chips. I love bead embroidery because it feels like I’m painting with beads.
