Going for the natural look..

A bracelet made with bone and wood beads accenting my own beads. The colors are really pretty in this one.

I've been working on some new things, hopefully I'll have them shaped and fired soon! They are really cool! I used the blue clay shown below and made beads and a pendant. Then I made some in green, violet, and yellow! (I still have plans for other colors as well, just need time to do it!!)

Okay, so I didn't quite get to the image transfers...

but I did start on something new. I think it totally rocks! I really like how it turned out and I'll have to see how the beads, the bracelet, and the pendant I made with this actually turned out. Hopefully good. Let me know what you think!!

Earrings!

Here are some cute earrings made with cubes! Black with hot pink dots and some black glass faceted beads make these darling! So fun!

I love comments, so if you have something to say, write it down!

Walk on the Wild Side

Walking on the wild side can be scary, or it can be fun! Here it is just fun to wear this leopard print bracelet. Safe, yet daring!!

New beads!

I made these in January. I think they're different and they turned out well. The colors are beautiful--a dark pearl blue, an apple green, and white. Some of my favs!

Pearly Gates

Here's a new necklace design I started working on last fall. It is a 4 strand necklace of pearl and silver with lots of crystal and glass beads with it. Lots of shimmer and shine. Understated and elegant, I think. I really like this one! You'll have to let me know what you think! :)

Sail Away

I made these 3 colors of beads to match the colors in the stones that I bought. The malachite green, lapis blue, and turquoise colors all match the colors in the stones. The colors made me think of an underwater lagoon that is clear and beautiful.

Vintage Vogue

Here's a necklace with Vintage 70's wooden beads mixed up with my handmade beads. It's a unique look!

Stars and Stripes Forever

Here's a fun necklace for the 4th of July! There are stars and stripes and the firecrackers exploding too!! It's a long necklace and really fun and colorful.

What would you wear it to?

Welcome to the Big Top

A new bracelet that made me think of the circus!! Bright and cheerful flowers in so many colors. Very striking!

The Confused Zebra

I've been starting to photograph my jewelry differently and this is the first one that was ready for a change. I really love the way this background brings out the color (or absence of color :) in this bracelet. My friend Karen helped me name this one, "The Confused Zebra".

Do the Twist

Here is a necklace with a twist--something a little different than my normal designs.

On Your Toes

A cute necklace for little girls with lots of fluff and fun!

Cotton Candy!

I've been going through and taking new pictures of my favorite things!! This is one of my favorite bracelets with lots of pink and sparkle!!

Butterfly!!

A handmade butterfly with a different technique.

Fun to do and fun to wear!


Here's the new pictures I've been taking so that you can see the difference. I think the new pictures are totally cool!!

What do you think of this?

This piece is definitely a new style for me. I call it the "Green Goblin". It is a very unusual look and I really like it.

More new beads!!

I also tried a new technique that has a kaleidoscope effect. This is a pastel version. Let me know what you think!!

New beads!

I'm taking most of these to Bead and Co here in Petoskey, but they turned out how I saw them in my head! (that's a good thing!!) They're very bright! I have 12 beads like this--a mix of all 6 colors, and I also have 6 beads of each solid color as well.

Still working...

even though I've been sick. I have some new designs, but I have to fire them yet. I've been sick for almost 2 weeks and haven't done much other than hold down the couch lately. Hopefully I'll have new pictures up here soon.
