Palatial Bib Necklace

This necklace contains Czech cristals, velvet for the cordon, and size 11 and 15 seed beads. I added seed bead fringe with nylon thread to the velvet for the neck side cordon. For the main part I used eyepins which I ran through chain to form the structure. I used beading glue to affix the […]

Midnight Bloom Necklace

I love vintage style jewelry and wanted a necklace that would be perfect with a little black dress for an evening out. This beaded necklace was made using Swarovski Elements crystals, Miyuki seed beads and silver metal beads. The lacy filigree look of the beaded pendant gives the necklace a 3D effect.

Aquamarine Morning And Amethyst Night

One early spring day I was so inspired by the sky that I decided to recreate this picture. I felt like I was working on a painting… First, I made the base for the necklace, using seed and bugle beads. Then, I made two-layered and three-dimensional blossoming full flowers, also using seed beads and bugle […]

Mykonos Sunrise Bracelet

This is a bold needlewoven bracelet of metallized glass beads with Mykonos discs. Glass triangle and round beads are handsewn in a square stitch in four sections. Between each section is a Mykonos ceramic bead for accent. The beaded loop and clasp makes it look like a continuous band. I love these greek beads! After […]

Rattlesnake Choker

I’ve been working a lot with a weave pattern involving three strands of beads…I wanted the challenge of creating a five strand necklace and I thought it worked well as a choker. When I finished it, my little son looked at it and said it looked like a rattlesnake…I thought he described it quite well. […]

The Golden Empress Necklace

This necklace was made with two sizes of gold and silver seed beads. The main part of the necklace is in a Victorian lace style and is made with small seed beads, and the center piece has a large amber cosmic shaped Swarovski crystal surrounded by larger gold and silver seed beads.

Princess Net Necklace

This piece I worked long and hard on. I used imitation pearls and black seed beads, with tigertail wire and silver headpins. I saw a necklace in this style but with different colors and it was not as sassy. I saw the necklace as a challenge for me so I decided to look at it […]

Poppy Fields Necklace

The poppies have been glorious this year and those sudden flashes of red amongst the green in the countryside, and the lovely focal bead by Ciel Creations inspired me to make this necklace. The basic stitch is spiral weave, using lots of Czech leaf and flower beads as well as a few firepolish crystals. I […]

Butterfly Brown Necklace

This necklace consists of many of my handmade lampwork beads, gemstones and Japanese seed beads. My theme and colour palette were decided upon as part of a nature series, this piece being the butterfly. I have hand forged silver pieces to represent the slender butterly feelers, with my lampwork glass butterfly sculpture becoming the focal […]

Black Filigree & Hematite Vines Ornate Pendant Necklace

This ornate set was made with a matte black coloured 3D filigree pendant (5.7cm x 5cm), Hematite rice shaped and round beads, facetted opaque black glass beads, some with fire polished finish and silver plated solid metal Bali-like beads. The seed beads used are foil lined dark grey and opaque black. The beads were strung […]

Swarovski Color Block Bracelet

Materials used include Swarovski 4mm bicone crystal beads, round 4mm cat eye beads, round 4mm red aventurine beads, and rectangle antique silver beads.

Red Fringe Crocheted Bead Choker

This choker is crocheted with beads. I used a needle to add the fringe after I completed the bead crochet.

Olivia Necklace

The blue, green and dark grey 6 mm bead combination and the intricate central motif add up to a vibrant necklace that makes me think about spring and blossoms. This necklace measures about 46cm and it is finished with a silver plated lobster clasp and a chain that makes it adjustable.

Spring Maiden

Diane Breglieb’s ‘The Face’ accompanied by vintage glass cabs, swarovskis, pearls, and of course, seed beads.

Green Man Necklace

I fell in love with this Green Man lampwork bead, from Claire-Louise Patrick of Ciel Creations and wanted to make something that would suggest the abundance of the life cycle he represents. The necklace is in freeform spiral weave using Japanese seed beads with lots of Czech pressed glass leaves with flowers and butterflies and […]

Warm Red Knitted Bead Necklace

I knitted the neck part from waxed cord and I used beads and ribbon for the front piece.

Goldie Beaded Bookmark

This beaded fish bookmark is one of the fish bookmark that I have made for my “Fish Fry Club” series. I wanted bright cheery colors to make the beaded bookmark pop and so for this beaded fish, I used shining glittering metallic coated Miyuki seed beads. I attached a Czech pressed glass leaf for the […]

Funky Fringe Beadwoven Bracelet

I absolutely love this funky piece! The pattern on the beadwoven part is my own, and I’ve used it in several other bracelets. This bracelet has a slinky & flexable feel to it. It has a button clasp. I used size 11 delica beads in matte white, golden & black. For the fringe I used […]

The fringes are accented using “Matgama” drops, and a tiny brass faery nests in the central flap fringe. Bag dimensions: Top width: 1 3/4″ Bottom width: 2 1/2″ Length: 2 1/2″ Strap: 26″
