Peacock Stone Swirl Earrings
Using a thing-a-ma-jig I formed the earwires out of 18 gauge copper wire and filed the ends to make them smooth. I used the same 18 gauge wire through the 18mm square peacock stone to make the circle on the top and the swirl on the bottom. I bent the circle over the stone after […]
Cloud Of Fortune Crystal Pendant Necklace
“Cloud of Fortune” or xiang yun, refers to beautiful, auspicious clouds, used especially in describing the skies accompanying appearances of Buddha.

Nuts & Berries Acai Berry And Coconut Earrings

Colours Wrap Necklace
This necklace is made with a thin metal chain and a wire wrapped handmade Fimo (polymer clay) lentil. I also used Swarovski crystals.

Asymmetrical Blues Necklace
The vast majority of my pieces are symmetrical and I wanted to experiment with an asymmetrical design.

The final bead dangling from the very bottom is a large, ornate silver-plated […]

Aqua Recycled Glass Bead Earrings

Washer Necklace
To create my “washer” necklace, I took two washers commonly found at your local hardware store. I used 2 different sizes, and hammered them to give them texture. I then attached them to an olive green suede cord. I added a few additional beads, and then attached a toggle clasp using 18 gauge wire.
Pearl And Vintage Pendant Necklace

Carnelian Single Drop Earrings
First I hammered heavy wire into ear wires. Then I wrapped very thin wire around the ear wires, adding in a Swarovski crystal. Then I wire wrapped the carnelian beads and attached them to the ear wires. I tumble polished the finished earrings and oxidized all the copper wire to achieve the black color. Then […]
Green Glass Wire Wrapped Bracelet With Swarovski Crystals
I used these pretty green glass floral beads to complete this bracelet. I used copper wire for wrapping to bring out the brilliance of the green beads. I attached Swarovski crystals in 6 and 4mm size to head pins to form dangles. The clasp is made of 16 gauge copper and has been hammered. I […]
Copper Twist And Torqoise Earrings
These earrings were made by using a Thing-a-ma-jig to bend the copper wire. I cut a piece of copper about 7 inches long and made the pattern for the swirl. After putting the bead on the wire I used the same jig pattern to make the top swirl and used the extra wire at the […]
