Pink Teardrops Necklace Set

For this one I used glass beads in light- and fushia pink. For bling, I added small silver balls and seed beads with a […]

Flip Flop Turquoise Beaded Necklace

On the longer part of this necklace I alternated the turquoise chips with glass seed beads. After several different trials I decided to use […]

Purple Swirl Wire Necklace

This piece started out as three hand-made lamp work beads. I had no idea what to do with them for over a month. One day I decided I was going to make something with them if it killed me. I had wanted to try a woven bail treatment and I thought this would be the […]

A strung piece made for my Chinese Malaysian mother-in-law for Christmas 08, this necklace incorporates Thai Silver seed pod beads and toggle, chrysocalla, and malachite chips. The Thai silver components were temporarily stranded in the Bangkok turmoil as the Christmas deadline loomed, so this one is fresh off the beading board – I hope my […]

Shell Bracelet

Pamela Bruce wire-wrapped individual spiral-shaped shell pieces and burgundy-dyed freshwater pearls together with sterling silver wire to a sterling silver chain. What inspired her to create this bracelet is that she liked the way the shells looked, especially their color combination of browns, burgundies, pinks, beiges, and greens. She found the burgundy-dyed freshwater pearls to […]
