Starflower





This is the starflower set. It is made of coin-pearls, seed-beads, sterling silver findings, and swarovski crystals. The inspiration for this set were the coin pearls. The necklace is princess length, so it sits around the collar-bone. The pendant is reversable, so no matter which way you wear it, it always looks good!  **SOLD**

Sandy


This is a soft, supple crocheted rope-necklace that incorporates beads into every stitch. (You can't even tell it's crochet - you can't see any of the yarn - it's all on the inside of the rope! But I love the drape of a bead-crocheted item!) It was created for my mom, Sandy.

Evergreen









This set - a bracelet and earrings - reminds me of something a person would wear out to a nice dinner at a nice lodge in the mountains. Probably because of the color - its deep hunter-green color with a touch of spring green for interest. This is done in a classic spiral with droplets peeking out. I included two pictures so you can see all the details. **CURRENTLY ONLY BRACELET IS AVAILABLE**

The Seychelles


The necklace is named after a group of islands. It's really a play on words as you can tell because it's made of seashells. This one was really fun and a break from my traditional seed-bead work. **SOLD**

The Bronze Age


This necklace is made with bronze-colored transparent twisted glass seed beads and little faceted "gems". The herringbone stitch it's made with further complements the light-reflecting qualities in this necklace/earring set. I love the way it looks rich and romantic. It reminded me so much of something my mother would wear that it now is part of her jewelry collection.


Pineapple Panache

This necklace was fun & a little outlandish. The idea came from those little pineapple doilies that crocheters love to make. I tried a modified technique for beading, and this is what emerged! It makes me think of those red-carpet designs - maybe with a sleek, black dress. **UNAVAILABLE**

Garden Lattice



"Scintillating green-gold lattice flows into a bouquet of fresh-water pearls and golden leaves." This necklace is one of those creations which was fun to do because of a different technique I was learning at the time, but during the creation process, the colors became the true life of the piece. Made with fresh-water pearls, seed-beads and cube beads. **SOLD**
