Announcement
I create and specialize in one-of-a-kind art jewelry. I find bead weaving fascinating and enjoy designing new creations and tutorials! Each piece is unique and meticulously executed using quality materials. Many of the components I offer are comprised of sterling silver and pure fine silver, bronze metal clay, and polymer clay, as well as resins. Precious and semi-precious gemstones, vintage glass, and lampworked beads add rich embellishment to the bracelets and necklaces I create. Carved bone, found objects, and other non-traditional materials are often added to my designs as accents. Creating one-of-a-kind pieces keeps my work fresh, allowing new ideas to burst forth. I hope you will enjoy perusing the photos of my work as much as I enjoyed creating the pieces themselves!
In my Etsy shop you will find my designer beading/jewelry kits, patterns, components, supplies, and occasionally finished works. Enjoy!
