Blue Mother Of Pearls With Opals Necklace

My favorite summer vacation destination is Hawaii. I just love the color of Hawaiian ocean and that is what I tried to capture with this necklace. For calm ocean, I used different sizes of mother of pearl flat shape beads with round shape one. I used opal round beads, roundelles and bicones as well as […]

Felted Grape Necklace

I love these autumn colours of aubergine, rust, grey and French navy, and I made these felted beads in varying sizes using 18.5 micron Superfine Merino wool. I firstly strung on 12 beads of assorted colour and size between the velour ends. I make the hanging beads by threading two beads of different colour and […]

Teal & Pink Looped Over Pendant

This set is made with hand crafted lampwork glass beads, some with pink swirls and some with raised floral patterns (even better in real life!). The rest of the lampwork beads are pink. There are also some silver coloured metal Bali-like spacer beads to finish. The seed beads used are clear teal. All mounted on […]

The seed beads used are foil lined dark grey and opaque black. The beads were strung […]

Purple Mood Wire Wrapped Pendant

The heart of this flower pendant was made from amethysts, garnets and silver beads. The petals were wrapped with sterling silver wire. I like to mix different thicknesses of wire. The pendant is strung on a black leather cord.

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 […]

Not Your Mothers Pearl Necklace

I took the softest black suede cord, approx. 72 inches and after each knot I would string a freshwater pearl that was hand-wrapped with fine silver. I would repeat this pattern randomly to the end of the cord. Then I would double wrap and sometimes triple wrap making it a multi-stranded necklace. I finished it […]

Adira Copper And Swarovski Wirework Necklace

I named this necklace “Adira”. It’s Hebrew and means: majestic, mighty and strong. I hand forged copper wire to create the intricate framework. I took more copper wire to create the ornate wirework. The focal point of the necklace is the wirewrapped 15x14mm jet black Swarovski crystal. The necklace also has smaller jet black, siam […]

Carmenita Necklace and Earrings

Exotic necklace made of Amethyst stones, red-brown Agate chip stones, Swraovksi pearls. The center drop contains Amethyst and red-brown agate stone (attached with a black Swarovski crystal. I specially designed this for my friend from Vietnam for her birthday. I really like the colour combination. It’s easy to make but takes a lot of patience, […]

My Mementos Bracelet

This bracelet was fun to make. I received some porcelain beads for Christmas in this Red, Black and White color theme. I dug through my supplies and found many of the little treasures that I put into this piece. I took 3 12″ strands of leather cord, and knotted them around the silver lobster clasp […]

Splatter Wirework Necklace

This necklace was made from 18 gauge copper wire. I randomly shaped the wire into a design I liked. I added a few copper beads to the wire. I then hammered the copper in a few places, mostly on the curves, to add character. I finished the piece by attaching it to leather cord.

Warm Red Knitted Bead Necklace

I knitted the neck part from waxed cord and I used beads and ribbon for the front piece.

Angel Story Charm Bracelet

I particularly love the angel charm in the middle as she seems to be in thought or having a quiet moment. I wanted to make something that was a little fairytale-like and sweet, so I put the basket and umbrella as part of the design, making them seem like they belong to the angel. The […]

Ring Of Fire Necklace

This necklace was a challenge to make! I wanted to incorporate strands of cord in with the beads and was unsure how to fasten them all together neatly. I ended up using a 26 gauge wire to bind the cords together, then I stitched seed beads over the wire with thread so the wire wouldn’t […]

Crackled Jade On Leather Necklace

There wasn’t any technique or skill required to make this necklace, but I think it is a great use for this type of double drilled bead. Just a single bead, large enough to make a statement strung from genuine leather cords. The honey yellow shade of the bead jumps off from the black cords.

Amber Waves Bracelet

This 5 1/2″ stretch bracelet will fit most children (although I do not recommend it for children under the age of 5 years) or a small adult wrist. It is double standed with stretch cord and made with antiqued silver Swarovski amber charms, glass amber and gold seed beads, clear round glass beads with amber/gold […]

Imagination Facination Bracelet

This bracelet is an African opal bracelet with Czech crystal bi-cone flirts. How to make it: Cut two pieces of leather cord about 1 1/2″ shorter than you want it to be to allow for the focal bead and the clasp. I used a heavier 20 gauge half hard sterling silver wire, and did a […]
