I just love the colors in this wall hanging! I used the patterns from the book "The Beaders Bible" and changed the coloring, added a border and the scroll design to create this wall hanging. The beadwork itself measures 6.5 " x 2.5".

Mandira Purse
The Mandira Purse started out as an adventure in loomwork as it is a larger piece. (The pattern - courtesy of Margie Deeb.com. This purse can also be seen on http://margiedeeb.com/) After finishing the looming section, I designed and created (with the sewing expertise of Sandy Pierce)the drawstring purse which incorporates the "Mandira" pattern as the flap. I love the mysterious quality of this purse. **AVAILABLE** (The dimensions are: 11.5" height x 6" diameter).French Tulip
This one was a departure from my normal beading projects. I learned the techniques for french-beaded flowers and couldn't help but dive into a larger project. I included two pictures so you could see the overall view as well as some detail.

Paua Panache
"Paua Panache" is made with a Paua shell pendant which was my inspiration for the whole piece. The colors of the shell are reflected in the spiral rope from which it hangs. The piece is made with seed beads and rounds As you can tell from the first picture, the closure is a button-loop closure. This is a really fun, happy necklace to wear! It brightens up any outfit!
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**
