My special collection of intricately beaded necklaces and bracelets. Allows me to pull from my international, antique and hand-made collection of beads and findings. Finding them is a great part of the fun, the other part is looking for the synergy of a new bead with my existing collection. I've found that running on the treadmill while gazing at my beads is a great source of inspiration and healthy,too!
Fringed Fantasies
A very small sampling of what is available and what can be done. These
fun and funky bracelets are comprised of zillions of different beads: lots
of vintage, Greek ceramic, seed, flame worked (lampwork), Sterling, brass,
copper...whatever catches my fancy when I'm putting colors together. Clasps
can be Sterling toggle, wireworked by me, vintage buttons, or inlaid semi-precious
stones. Email me for what's currently available or order a special
favorite color combination of your own. Bracelets are $125. (Click on the photos to see more detail.)

These dancing beaded figures remind me of the song, not
the circus.

separated by etched square Raku beads and Czech glass. 18 inches long.
With matching "clown" earrings.

25-inch long necklace: 8 braided strands of copper, saffron, caramel, fuchsia and cabernet
