Crystalline winter was inspired by a new technique - the peyote spiral - which makes up most of the length of the necklace. It has a button closure in front which is hidden in the fringing branches around the main leaf pendant, which is also done in a different version of the peyote stitch. The fringe contains glass drops and many swarovski crystals. The combination reminds me of a beautiful winter scene which has been frozen in time. (This supple necklace would be perfect for a wedding). **SOLD**

"Brendy"
I call this set Brendy because I ended up giving it to my friend, Brendy. This one is made up of delicas, and seed beads, and is embelished with a melange of various fresh-water pearls and glass beads.
Caribbean Cool
I did this one a couple years ago in the middle of the Summer. Somehow the cool blues and greens and the way the beads seem to wave just felt refreshing at that time of year. The true inspiration was the pendant. After that everything just flowed! This one is an opera-length necklace that has a clasp, but it can be put on overhead. **SOLD**
