Copper & green necklace.. I was so
excited when I found the square copper colored pearls, and even more excited
when I made just the right beads for this necklace. |
 |
Hollow green eye bead. I paired this
bead with rutilated quartz beads, and strung tiny metallic green seed
beads in some places to add a flash of color. |
 |
Silver lining necklace. I combined my
red silver lining bead with deep red coral beads. |
 |
Hollow eye bead. When the dots are covered with a clear raised dot, the glass turns wonderful shades of
turquoise and pink, depending on the amount of heat. I combined the bead with apitite and very pale pink glass beads. |
 |
Hollow frit beads. I combined 3 of these with an oxidized steel chain. The metallic sheen on the beads doesn't show too well
in photos. |
 |
Amber rock wall. The pattern reminds me of stacked rocks. The other beads in the necklace are vintage glass. |
 |
Green shard bead. I bought the pale green oblong beads in Tuscon long ago, and finally made the right bead for them. |
 |
Frit bead necklace. This has become one of my favorite necklaces! It matches almost everything and is fun to wear. |
 |
Amber/green bubble bead fringe bracelet. Every time
I make these bracelets, the fringes are different and the colors of the
beads vary. I love to search through my stash of stones, pearls, crystals
and metal beads to find just the right components to compliment my beads. |
|
Amethyst/blue bubble bead fringe bracelet.. Once
again, every bracelet is different. |
|
Harlequin bead fringe bracelet.. This one is amethyst/purple/blue.
I seldom make harlequin beads any more- those tiny dots got harder and
harder to see! |
|
Black & white fringe bracelet.. Such a simple color
combination. With the right components, it can look so sophisticated. |
|
Smooth sailing fringe bracelet.. This bracelet was
on the cover of Step by Step Beads magazine. I wrote two articles for
the magazine, one on how to lampwork the beads and one on how to put the
bracelet together. |
 |
Tiger bead set. These are fun to make and fun to wear. I love felines of all kinds! |
 |
Faux turquoise necklace. I hated this bead when I first took
it out of the kiln, but discovered that after etching, it looks like turquoise!
A happy accident. I paired it with real turquoise. |

Viking knit necklace with a big hole bead. |
