Glass Bead Pendant

Tried something new. I made some larger hole beads and didn't know what to do with them, didn't want to use them in the typical way. Put some Sterling silver together and some lapidary skills and made the pendants.

Can't wait to do more!

A ring for every finger!

I have been working on some rings that are amazing...they look awesome and I love making them!

They are all Sterling Silver, no two are exactly alike and can be "antiqued" or left shiny and bright.

Let me know what you think of them...

The Eye

After looking at a tutorial of something similar, using car parts, which I could not find, I decided to work through this piece using Faux Bone. I am glad I did as I like it much better.

Wanted to add an element of surprise to it, so I used a glass eye as the hidden treasure under the cover.

If you like weird, unusual things this may be one you'll like.

Had a blast doing it!

Now to create something out of an old can I have!

Lampworked beads

Here is a pic of a Sterling Silver and my Lampworked beads.

I love the organic coloring of the ivory and of course, turquoise.

I don't get as much time on my torch as I would like but work with it when I can.

I am not a fan of matchy-matchy stuff. Ask anyone that knows me, the more unstructured the item the better I like it.

American Indian Squaw

Here is a pic of the American Indian Squaw I did. I became certified in Silver Art Clay to make jewelry for my Indian sculptures. As you can see, I haven't finished that part of it yet.

She is about 2.5 feet tall. She has holes in her ears for earrings.

Eyes of blown glass from Germany.

Alpaca Roving for her hair.

Sherri Serafini Collar

This is the collar design by Sherri Serafini. I ordered the pattern and recreated it.

Absolutely a piece of art.

I love turquoise and this incorporates all the different aspects of it.

Took about a week to do. Once the elements were gathered. That took about 2-3 weeks as some of it had to be ordered from multiple places.

Sherri is truly gifted, I love her work and hope to be 1/3 as good as her.

Close up of The Ogar

Here is a close up of The Ogar. Complete with hair on his nose, wings and teeth.

A little scary!
