This piece was created using various gemstones and then adding hand stitched bugle tube style beads. This item was created by my husband Shane and was entered in the bead blast for the Oklahoma Bead Society. You can view more of our creations at www.janrogers1968.blogspot.com

This piece was created and entered as my first piece in the Oklahoma Bead Blast competition. I took first place and was so excited. I used various stones and a large silver style butterfly and a few scrapbooking items to complete this.

When I learned peyote technique one of my first attempts was to be able to reproduce butterflies, this was my second efford and I concider it a sort of lucky charm.

I sewed on a perforated metal sphere, 24 herringbone flowers .

I made this piece for my little cousin, five years old. It is made only with unbreakable items: cotton, wood and plastic beads. Butterfly created with Decoupage Sospeso Trasparente, which means paper and acetate.

Grabriella Rivalta jewels inspired my necklace.

I made the leaves of this necklace with the "Decoupage Sospeso Trasparente" technique using some napkins. I found the blackberry's pattern in "Creazioni di Perline di Vetro con la Tecnica Veneziana" by Angela Pensini.
