Earrings this time! Woven from seed beads and Swaros on chain. There's a story on my Blog, and a tutorial in my Etsy!

I've been on a metal and beads kick lately; this time I'm incorporating chain into my beading. It took me a few tries to figure out how to do it without going crazy, but I finally came up with a technique that works!

Bracelet made from 8° and 11° seed beads, using peyote and right angle weave. There's a story on my blog, and a tutorial in my Etsy for those who like them. Thanks for looking!

These earrings are made from seed beads, using right angle weave, peyote, herringbone and square stitches. They're on brass swivels from the fishing supply section so they can whirl around in the breeze.

This is my entry into the Beaded Passion contest. It has seed beads, (10, 11 & 15s) a Shimmerstone focal, glass cabs, and swaros. I used triangular herringbone for the structural bits, RAW and peyote for the cabs and netting as needed. Thanks for looking!

Seed beads, mostly 15°s. The beaded beads are variations on a tutorial by Bead Origami, and the leaves are variations on Russian Leaves. The lariat part is netted with 15° beads and is 48 inches long. Thanks for looking!

These were an earring swap gift for a jewelry-making friend; they're made from a variation on Bead Origami's Disco Ball pattern. The stones are aquamarine, and the beads are gold-filled or gold plated. Thanks for looking!

The maille is done with twisted and antiqued brass wire; the lampwork beads are by Melissa Vess . It is highly unlikely that the weave is original to me; but it just sort of came to me, so my apologies to the originator for not giving credit. If anyone knows the name of the weave and the originator,...

I made the bead cap from bits of sheet and wire, fused and reticulated; then added some ruffly free-form peyote, a silver spiral, and a strung neck strap. There's a story on my blog, for those who like my nonsense. Thanks for looking!

I had a little play with sterling silver and fire, and this is the result. The Amethyst is 3mm; the entire pendant is about an inch from top to bottom. It's made from 18 gauge wire that has been shaped, hammered, and soldered. If you like my stories, Splash is on my blog, Jewelry Tales. Thanks for...
