Raku donut pendant

The raku donut was made by local artist, Mak.  I used the center to present some crystals and chain with glass leaves.  The bail is done in brick stitch.

Lady Mary bracelet

This pattern was created by Kathy Hofferth.  I learned the method at a bead retreat.  Pretty!

Mista Marbeauz

Mista Marbeauz makes me smile.  He is a bead embroidered clown.   The lampwork face is made by AZ artist, Laurie Greenberg.  I beaded the sweater with Ndebele stitch, the pants in square stitch and the sox in peyote stitch.

The Aquarium

This is a collaborative piece of work.  The lampwork glass pendant by artist Terry Henry which reminded me of an aquarium.  It is encased in peyote stitch with a touch of purple Keishi pearls.  The bail is done in brick stitch.

Buddha's Temple

This beaded cuff came together as a result of a raku button made by local artist, Mak.  Contact her at www.MAKUstudio.com for more info.
The buddha face is perched on top of her raku button.  I decided to peyote 2 separate strips and attach them to Ultrasuede.  The peyote is further embellished with rondelles and pearls.

Circuit Ole


When I was gifted 13 polymer clay faces, I knew immediately what I wanted to make.  A circus of beaded clowns based on the performance artistry of Cirque du Soleil!  They all have silly hats, beaded bodies and magatama bead feet.  Their tent is a recycled DVD holder.
