Choora bracelet, 2

Yes, this is another Choora bracelet. I liked the first one so much, had to have another. This one is done with Firepolish beads and rondelles for a totally different look. Wish I could find an antique 8 ringed clasp for this one.

Keishi kicker

I had been thinking about this necklace for some time after purchasing the keishi pearls and wondering what to do with them. I used a right angle weave to incorporate keishis and crystals. The necklace is completed in a 2 drop peyote. A inside tube helps keep the shape of the necklace.

Rachel from Beyond Beadery was wearing this gorgeous right angle weave bracelet and we all loved it. She did her bracelet using crystals and pearls. I used the same elements. The 8 ringed clasp is perfect for this bracelet.

Encaustic play, part 2

Advanced beeswax class showing the incorporation of color. What do you suppose the bird and bat are talking about???

Encaustic play

Queen Bee....I took a class with Jack and Cat Curio out in Mesa. We played with beeswax. This piece shows the different dimensions one can get with wax. Fun and smells good too.

Green envy

This is my bead embroidered surprise for my friend, Tine. She loves green and I used a green porcelain cab as the focal and worked from there. The top starburst shape is done in Ndebele stitch.

Arabesque

Never having bezeled a triangular rivoi, this project was a good challenge. The pattern is done by Ann Benson and features 2 round rivolis and a triangular one. The rivolis are combined with pearls. The bracelet is netted.

Fused glass

I made this for a girlfriend who likes simple jewelry. A silver bail shows off a piece of my fused glass. The pendant hangs from a spiral rope.

She was surprised and loves her present!

The Ripple Effect

I was gifted the Moonstone and wanted to keep in tune with the color of the stone. I opted for a monochromatic theme. Metal chips encircle the stone. The 6 stone-like beads are vintage nail heads. The design seemed to call for a circular design, hence the ripples.
