My Favorite Beads...

These are some my favorite bead creations...they are smaller than the normal lampwork bead...

Cremation Bead Jewelry

I have created cremation remain jewelry. I incorporate the beloved's ashes into the glass to have a lifelong memory.

Sterling silver chain, sterling silver findings.

Ichabad Toad

This is "Ichabad Toad", I found him wandering amongst my garden, hiding from sight but scurrying around in the moon light.

He doesn't bite, seems very wise in his age. Wonder if there are others?

This sculpture is made of polymer clay and stays in a removeable glass container.

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...

Nae

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.
