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 […]

Purple Donut Lariat Necklace

This necklace is made with Beadalon stringing wire, seed beads, wood pieces, glass and cat’s eye. It features a medium size purple glass donut as the centerpiece and the end. I was inspired to make this piece because of a beautiful purple flower I saw at Butterfly World. I wanted to make the two sides […]

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.

Cottage Bloom Necklace

I always like the idea of living in the cottage in a countryside far away which inspired me to make this piece. This was made with Garnet chip beads Unakite chip beads Unakite round bead Ivory freshwater pearls Tensha bead For the necklace, I just string all the beads together using beadalon wire, with the […]

Crispy Lime Necktie

I didn’t have a clear vision about this necklace when I first started working on it. The whole crafting process was initiated with the green bone frame as the main piece. I love green and was keen on making something fresh and bursting with energy, while keeping at the same time a certain sweetness. For […]

Macrame and Beads

This necklace was made using macrame knotting with glass beads and shells.

Hearts And Shells Bracelet

This bracelet was made using a range of different sizes of green glass beads and two large shell shaped glass beads. All the beads are connected to each other using a piece of elastic, which is inserted into each of the beads, and tightly tied at the end to seal the bracelet.

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 […]

Peaches And Fairy Floss Bracelet

This piece is made of pink AB bicone glass crystal clusters and peach coloured 10mm glass pearls. I used 28 gauge silver wire for the bicone clusters and 20 gauge silver wire to make my own eye pins to link the pearls and the clusters together. I also encased the pearls with some Bali silver […]
