    • 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!

    Creating is my passion!

    “Adornment, be it jewelry or clothing, has always fascinated me. As a child I spent many hours creating wearable treasures made of all manner of found objects – twigs, shells, beads, buttons, cast-off costume jewelry parts, and more comprised my collection. I also loved playing “dress-up” and still do! I poured over the fashion pages of magazines such as Vogue and Bazaar. They became my favorite bedtime stories! In my day-dreams I was a princess dressed in royal jewels, gowns of silk and other finery. As an adult I am still enamored with jewelry and other wearables. It is the process of making these adornments that I find so exciting and being able to wear the end results. Creating jewelry and knitting wearable art has allowed me to experiment with color, texture, and form to my heart’s content!”
