Windsor Pendant

From The Crown Jewels Collection, Windsor Pendant by Leslee Frummin.  Why not make several in different colors?!

Earring mania

 A few new earrings to add to my collection.  I especially like the ones on the top far left which are druzy.  The top and bottom right side is a pattern from Leslee Frummin from The Crown Jewels collection called Wales earrings.  The style on the bottom left is a twin bead pattern from Preciosa.

Buddha's Bliss

The raku bowl was make by Mak of www.MAKUstudio.com.    When I got the bead, I knew it would be a good challenge with its shape.  I make a peyote base for the buddha head and place some knit wire underneath the head to add some interest.  The triangular portion has sequin leaves and seed beads.  To give it some more Asian flair, I attached a jade pendant to the bottom attached with ladder stitch.  This was a collaborative project and now belongs to Mak.

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.

Puffer Fish

I had a felt ball challenge  and came up with this cute puffer fish idea.  The felt ball is adorned with bugles.  His eyes are wood beads with a small seed bead for the pupil.  The mouth is made of colored wire.  I have swam with these funny little inflatable fish.

Icycle

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

Net effect

I made the same bracelet by Sabine Lippert in a blue and maroon.  I liked it so much, I decided a green and gold one would look nice too.  The second go around was nice and easy!
