Dark Side

Everyone has favorite dark colors, mine are red with black. Little angels with black and red wings are hiding between the crystals in this fun charm bracelet. Gunmetal and antique findings fit this dark theme. There's even a cute little locket to put pictures of your own angels into. :)

Fun with Memory Wire

Four coils of "Remembrance" wire, hundreds of size 11 seed beads, glass pearls, faceted glass and hours of patience are what you'll need to make these fun bracelets. Once I start making these, it's difficult to stop. There are so many ways to use memory wire that it has become a "must have" in my beading supplies.

Glass pearls, Japanese seed beads, memory wire, faceted Czech glass


Purple Fusion

This was so much fun to make! I love the color purple, so choosing these beads was a blast. Shades range from deep and rich to light and flirty. All linked together on sterling filled wire. Long enough to just slip over your head, no clasp required. So there's never a wrong way to wear it. Matching earrings are on sterling silver hooks.

Glass pearls, acrylic beads, Swarovski crystals and sterling filled jewelry wire.

Falling For You

Raw brass, antique gold and copper jump rings form these fun earrings. Autumn colors in pressed glass leaves complete them. Hung on antique gold tone fish hook ear wires.


It's a Spring Thing: Blue/Green/Yellow

And here is the 3rd and final in this spring themed charm bracelet series. Each will remain one of a kind. No more like these are planned.

A pink and purple version of the bracelet from yesterday. Crystal clear and opal join the mix.

Everyone loves hoops!

Big hoop earrings have always been fun, but these have a little extra kick. Measuring just over 2" across the widest point. I used memory wire so they will hold their shape.

Cobalt blue AB seed beads cover the wire, and fun hematite stars and Swarovski crystals add to the fun. Hung on sterling hook style ear wires.


Night Sky

This fun bracelet was inspired by something most of us take for granted. The beauty of the night sky. It's hard to enjoy it with the light pollution of the city, but I take every chance I do get to look up and imagine... I hope you do as well :)

Fun celestial themed pewter links in antique brass tone, with matching earrings. Size 6 seed beads in AB peacock add a bit of color. 3 star charms and a large spring clasp finish it off.


Simple Charm.

This is one of the charm bracelets I sell. The idea is, you get the first charm on the bracelet, and you add more as time goes on. Or, keep it simple. It's fun to collect charms from places you travel, or for things you like.

Black pressed Czech fisher rings connected by gunmetal twisted jump rings with a toggle clasp.


It's a Spring thing.

Cute flower inspired links connected by twisted jump rings make the base of this fun bracelet. In soft pastels with just a hint of a darker blue, this makes you think of all the pretty flowers of Spring.
