Star Of Ice Cuff

I stiched around the rivoli with Delica beads onto Stiff Stuff. Then I worked around with white and crystal silver lined miyuki rocailles. Next I put white drops in between and put them together with tiny silver lined 15/0 rocailles. I glued the Stiff Stuff onto the bracelet and finished the back with ultra suede. […]

Bead embroidered cuff and necklace made from rough opals (polished by myself), charoite, amethyst, pearls, swarovski, silver beads, rainbow moonstone beads, purple jade, violet glass beads (roses) and Miyuki Delicas. For the base I used Lacy’s Stiff Stuff and a blank brass collar and cuff. To make this whole set, including polishing the opals, takes […]

Butterflywings

For these very special earrings, I used real butterflywings. I glued them on ultra-suede and stiff stuff. After beading the surrounding in peyote, I filled the holes whith the matching colors from the wings. I finished the earrings with ultra suede on the back and combined the earrings with Swarovski beads 5000 en 5328.

Gypsy Bracelet

Today I finished this freeform bead embroidery bracelet I named Gypsy. I really loved making it. I designed the cabochons myself and used different kind of materials like Swarovski stones, silk roses, Miyuki cubes, rocailles, drops, and lucite flowers. To give it structure I used foam in between ultra suede. It has a sterling silver […]

Wire Lines

This choker is Turkish and consists of spirals of wire, seed beads, and cloth.

Butterfly Brooch

The wings are kept in resin. I glued them onto Stiff Stuff and surrounded them with very small Miyuki Delica beads and rocaille seed beads . The back is finished with dark green Ultrasuede and a brass brooch pin.

Woodland Brooch

I started off with some Lacey’s Stiff Stuff as the bead embroidery foundation. I dyed it to a suitable shade of black. I had a beautiful African turquoise cabochon which I had stashed away, waiting for the right moment of creativity to spark. I sewed different semi precious stones around the cabochon, choosing muted tones that would […]

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.

White Rose Of Texas

I started by gluing the white resin rose to the leather, and then embroidered around it with white seed beads, crystals and pearls. I backed the creation with camel-colored leather. The necklace is strung with white beads of stone and resin as well as crystals of different sizes. It is about 20″ long.

Anatolian Wedding Necklace

In Anatolian tradition girls organize a party before getting married. It is traditional to sing very sad songs to make the bride cry before she leaves her family and goes to her husband. In this ceremony usually the bride wears 2 or 3 dresses and changes the jewellery. This is one of them.

Amethyst Embelished Bracelet

I created this bracelet using square stitch, flat black cubes embelished with amethyst seed beads and silver spiral spacers. The total length of this bracelet is 8″. The clasp is a dark button that matches with the seed beads.

Little Bit Gypsy

About 3 years ago I made a bracelet “Gypsy” (also on Beadage), with the intention to make a necklace as well, because I really fell in love with this bracelet. And then…nothing, no inspiration. Then the contest “Best Dutch Beadworkartist 2014” came up. After finishing my contest necklace “Wild Flower” I felt like finishing that […]

Etnich Young Necklace

This necklace is composed of leather, handmade glass beads, metal, and wood beads.

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, […]
