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 […]

Copper, Wood & Bali Bead Ornate Pendant

The focal drop is a hand crafted lampwork bead that is clear with a copper swirl lining. The necklace includes dark wood round beads, Czech faceted smokey brown beads and some silver coloured metal Bali-like beads, bead caps and hanger to finish. The seed beads are clear dark brown and the bugle beads are metallic […]

Warm Red Knitted Bead Necklace

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

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 […]

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.

Rustic Leather Necklace

This necklace is made with goat leather discs in different colors, strung on rami cord.

Ming Tea Necklace

Ming Tea 22″ Necklace and 7 1/2″ braclet take on an ancient age using two imported 900 year old Ming pottery shards delicately framed as the focal beads. I also make 2,000 year old coin jewelry, so found it a treat to find out about the ancient Chinese Ming pottery shards from a artisan friend, […]

Pink Dangle Necklace

I found the large silver wire pendant in a craft shop and it took me quite a while to come up with something to put it with. I used bright pink stones along with some pearly beads in pink and cream. I added the bunch to an extra long black cord to create a long […]

Teal & Silver Swirls Necklace

Made with a very pretty (3.8cm, domed with flat back) hand crafted swirled clay pendant that has a glittery finish to it, some silver plated solid metal beads and some very small sterling silver square cut spacers to finish. The silver swirl detailing is made with silver plated wire. The seed beads used are foil […]

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 […]

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 […]

Beaded Fabric Bookmark

This is a fun and creative gift for all occasions. What you will need: 2 – 10 3/4″ x 1 3/4″ scraps of heavy cotton fabric. I used apolstry samples. 1 – 9″ x 1″ piece of fabric bonding material – Sticth Witchery. 1 – 2″ piece of nylon cord. 14″ of 22 gauge sterling […]

Peace + Beads = Happiness

I found this brown brand resin pendant on a shopping trip and couldn’t wait to use it. I love working with earth tones and this pendant gave me the perfect opportunity to mix it up! I used a one leather cord, green and gold glass beads, brown branch resin pendant, a small flower charm and […]

Glowing Opal Bracelet

This multi-strand bracelet is made of glowing opal beads of different shapes. Each strand is on a stretchy cord. I decided to unite the strands by triangle hoop and finish the bracelet with a charm made of large polygonal opal bead and couple of crystal clear AB Swarovski bicones.

Macrame And Gemstone Necklace

The design for this piece may seem a little off the wall! I was inspired by these odd looking dyed agate beads I had bought at a gem fair. I wanted to make a bold and dramatic pendant like focal design and work it into a hand knotted pattern. So this is what I came […]

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 […]

Horn, Wood & Glass Bead Necklace

The necklace is handcrafted from horn, wood beads, tiger’s eye beads, crazy lace agate beads, glass beads, silk cord, and is finished with a copper hook and eye clasp. It makes a bold statement and is approximately 26 inches long.

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.
