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. |
