Wire Wrapped Crystal Drop Earrings

These are really pretty dangly earrings that are made from Swarovski crystals, Bohemian Czech glass crystals and blue pearl beads. Each bead is individually wrapped with wire to make the fittings to hold it all together. They have great movement, and are very sparkly. I decided to do something a little different with earrings and […]

A Marriage In Purple

Purple is one of my husband’s favorite colors and animal print is one my weaknesses. So accidentally dropping a dyed hammer-shell bead next to a piece of purple leather in my workroom made me think the two were meant to marry! I accented zebra print shells, mother-of-pearl nugget shells and hand-cut leather with multi-shaped black […]

Lock And Key Beaded Earrings

The materials that went into this piece consist of eyepins, glass beads, lock and key charms, miscellaneous charms, and bronze fishhooks. It was assembled quite simply. The beads were assembled onto the eyepins, the miscellaneous charm was then attached to the bottom of the eyepin, and the key and lock charms were attached to the […]

Dance With Beads Bib Necklace

I embroidered on canvas with seed beads, bugle beads, and various sizes of glass beads in complementary earth tones. I then lined the canvas with leather.

Blue Agate And Labradorite Necklace

My inspiration for this necklace were these large 12x18mm blue agate beads. They are like a cool faceted barrel. I wanted the blue to stand out so I added the leaf-cut labradorite beads with the blue flash to match the blue in the agate. In between each labradorite are 2 glass beads and a clear […]

Mix and Match Reversible Beaded Necklace

I had a few larger beads and I did not know what to use them for (my necklaces are usually more delicate). One day the inspiration came in a store catalog–the idea of combining one strand of large beads and six strands of small beads. It is wearable top side down or up. It can […]

Mountain Mist Necklace

I love being able to use up leftover beads to create a beautiful eclectic piece. I used gold beading wire to string green agate chips, green glass beads of different shapes and sizes, clear Swarovski bicones, and green metallic seed beads. This is one of my favorite brass clasps, so I had to have it […]

Three-strand Purple Bracelet with Charms

I was just playing around with some leftover beads from a double-strand watch project when I made this bracelet. The heart charm was an afterthought because I was having fun shaping eyepins and made a few different ones. I used crackle glass beads, metal spacer beads, stone disc beads, hematite beads, one interesting glass bead […]

Wise Woman’s Necklace

This piece was created because we are wise women. Our knowledge has been handed down through the wise women of our past and the wise women we deal with today. This multistrand necklace is made of seed beads interspersed with glass leaf-shaped beads. Elegant cones finish off this elegant roit of color.

Autumn Spirit Necklace

This was made with recycled vintage materials including vintage glass beads, vintage brass beads, and a focal bead made from a vintage earring. I played with the rhythm on this piece, varying the bead positions. My inspiration was the fall season and all its glory. Recycling vintage materials is a wonderful way to be kind […]

Summer Flower Bracelet

The materials used are carnelian beads, purple glass beads, dark brown beads of Japanese glass, and stainless steel wire. The bracelet contains a flower with orange petals and a purple and orange butterfly.

Czech Iris Brown Dangle Earrings

These earrings were designed by myself for my mother-in-law. I used silver plated earwires, silver plated 20 gauge wire, silver plated 3mm balls and Czech Fire Polished Iris Brown 6mm faceted glass beads.

Blue Love Necklace

This chic necklace is made up of 2 strands (on both sides) of multi-colored blue quartz semiprecious chips that meet together at a hand wired four petals flower with raining quartz and pastel colored glass pearls. The 16.5″ necklace closes nicely with a silver rose toggle and clasp (not pictured).

Amethyst Loop Earrings

These were made with Czech druk 4mm amethyst glass beads, silver plated earwires and 22 gauge silver plated brass beading wire.

Ethnic Fire Necklace and Earrings

I created this unique piece around these beautiful antique silver connectors. I used 6mm and 8mm bright orange Czech crystals, orange seed beads and different shapes of black glass beads to make charms and attached to connectors. I used 2-toned seed beads on tigertail to emphasize the ethnic look and finished it with a silver […]

Amazonite Chunks Goddess Necklace

I made this three-strand necklace with four different shapes of Amazonite Beads. We have Rondelles, tubes, chips and nuggets. And I put some Sea Opal glass chips in because I think these two stones together are beautiful. All findings and spacers are sterling silver as well as the three stranded clasp which is adjustable. And […]

Purple Passions Necklace

I love creating interesting chains. I bought this lovely pendant on a sale scratch-patch. The fine chain links and glass beads I added myself. I made several short double strand pieces with bronze chain-pieces, purple glass beads and bronze caps and connected them with bronze links end large jumprings. At the back I finished it […]

Offering To Pele Necklace

This is a one-of-a-kind necklace made with 3 beads made from real lava from the Hawaiian Islands. I used red acrylic beads to accentuated the black lava. Black and red glass beads continue the trend up to be highlighted with clear and black spatter glass beads. I love the mythology of Pele and what this […]
