The focal beads for these earrings are ceramic beads that reminded me of some dishes my grandmother used to have. Seed beads and blue glass beads serve to offset the ceramic beads. These are simple drop earrings with the beads strung on headpins and the headpins attached to earwires.

The cabochon face, was done by me in cold mass of glass, and painted. The materials I used were Miyuki seed beads, Czech bugle beads, pearls, rocailles, and fire-polished beads. Some decoration, […]

Faith Necklace

This necklace was inspired by the seasonal time of the year. The SRA glass cross pendant I used is complimented by the handmade green and autumn brown spacers. Clear glass seed beads and Tibetan silver findings help to give the necklace its sparkle. I think this would be quite effective in other colours too.

Chunky Glass Necklace

I’ve created this necklace using 20mm gold and red gold and red glass silver foil lampwork rectangle beads. A large 25mm by 25mm sterling silver heart dangles as a focal point on this necklace.

Good Juju Wire Wrapped Collar

This piece was inspired by a friend’s Kenyan necklace made of bone & horn. I loved the strong shapes and the way the horns tapered around the sides of the neck. My beaded version looks nothing like hers, but it captures a similar earthy, bold feeling. I made frames with 20 gauge sterling plated copper […]

Fall Cluster Statement Necklace

With most of my work this season I have come to the realization that I am in a ‘bigger is better’ frame of mind. I am leaning more towards chunky statement type pieces. Also, I find I enjoy mixing gold and silver a lot and this piece reflects that. I began with only an inkling […]

Carnelian Lampglass Bracelet

This piece was constructed with lampwork glass beads, czech glass, Swarovski crystal, and silver spacer beads. The bracelet was finished with a sterling silver toggle clasp.

My Little Moomoo Bracelet
