Raku Shield

The focal raku bead was made by talented and local AZ artist, Mak.  The bronze clay triangle was made by artist, Judie Mountain.  This is bead embroidered.  It hangs from 3 blue chains and I incorporated 2 raku beads on the necklace made by Diane Hawkey.

Glass donut

The blue glass donut is made by lampwork artist, Terry Henry.  It has been bead embroidered and has fringe to accent the donut.  

Toadstoy

The toad head is made by lampwork artist, Wayne Robbins.  The body, arms, trunks and legs are done in Ndebele.  

Lamplight Necklace

A commissioned piece.  Lampwork bead from Alana.  Crystal beaded beads mimic the focal bead and are connected with an Ndebele rope.

Caged

Caged uses a raku cabochon made by Raku Studios.  Love your work, Mak!  The focal piece has a nice metal appeal to it so I used that theme with my added seed beads, metal and chain.

Aurora Borealis

This lovely necklace was made on my Alaska bead cruise with Nancy Cain.  We learned how to make the gorgeous beaded beads with perfect tension.  Briolettes accent the piece with some netted work too.  Thank you, Nancy!

Purple lariat

I saw a similar lariat and got inspired by the right angle weave (RAW) of this design.  It is a triangular RAW embellished with drop beads.  The pendant hangs nicely with an amethyst bead in a brick stitch design highlighted with crystals.

Autumn

Fall is almost here so why not a new necklace?  Right angle weave with delicate Czech beads to accent it.  The star button is vintage.

Icycle

I beautiful necklace depicting the form of an icycle.   The original pattern is by Laura McCabe.
