Beaded Bead Three Strand Necklace

This necklace came about because I absolutely LOVE the size 11 seed bead mix I purchased at my local bead shop. I also learned to bead a bead, using these tiny beads. It’s very labor-intensive, but really worth it. The focal glass bead is beaded with these no. 11 beads, as well as four other […]

Woodland Brooch

I started off with some Lacey’s Stiff Stuff as the bead embroidery foundation. I dyed it to a suitable shade of black. I had a beautiful African turquoise cabochon which I had stashed away, waiting for the right moment of creativity to spark. I sewed different semi precious stones around the cabochon, choosing muted tones that would […]

Turquoise Twist Choker

This is my favorite piece. It’s a 3-strand choker, one strand large turquoise nuggets, and two strands of small nuggets. I used silver separators and a silver hook clasp at the end. This was a custom design for a friend. She wanted something different for a function and couldn’t find what she wanted in stores.

Vintage Garden Necklace

Antiqued gold cable chain and textured rings, amazonite faceted nuggets, bronze potato pearls and aged brass wire are wirewrapped together to form this necklace. An aged brass leaf charm, a turquoise Czech fluted flower with a Picasso finish, and a copper Swarovski crystal bicone dangle from the main ring. I formed and hammered brass wire […]

Turquoise Beaded Footlet

I used turquoise waxed cord, millefiori beads, small yellow plastic beads and a turkish blue eye. the closing knot that is around your heel can be adjusted to your foot size. My inspiration for my anklets collection was a French woman who used that style. Then I tried it myself, but with other materials and […]

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?

Ne-zhoni Toh-yi-kal

Pretty Tears (Ne-Zhoni Toh-Yi-Kal) jewelry set consists of a 27″ Necklace, 7 1/2 bracelet and 3″ drop earrings. My materials are torquoise bead nuggets, ovals, chips and a 22mm focal bead, and contrasted with buffalo bone beads. All accent beads are gold plated, and I use a stainless coated wire to prevent corrosion and add […]

Angkor Earrings

These earrings were handcrafted using turquoise beads, white glass beads, and silver filler beads. The drops were attached to the exotic looking frames with wire.

Long Colours Necklace

This necklace is made from handmade rope and tassel, turquoise stones, pebblestones, shell, wood beads, and metal wire.

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 […]

Nesting Bird Necklace

I created this necklace using Vintaj Brass Co. chain. In a few spots around the chain, I attached wire-wrapped red Czech glass beads for accents. The focal I used is a pewter bird bead from Mamacita Beadworks. I used an eye pin, and off the bottom hook, dangled a brass wire nest that I stuffed […]

Hawaiian Bridesmaid Necklace

This set is made from chunky turquoise and orange coral pieces strung on 24k gold wire and gold fittings. I made and wore this necklace as the maid of honor for my friend’s wedding in Hawaii.

Turquoise And Brown Bracelet

I made this for my sis who loves the combination of turquoise and brown. This is my first beading project and she loved it. I used strechy cord and a collection of assorted beads from Darice for this. I secured the cord with two knots and an overhand knot. I used Hypo cement to secure […]
