Heart-Shaped Beads

These unusual, earth-toned, heart-shaped beads look good paired with black Swarovski crystals and silver accents.

Murano Glass Beads

Found these cool Murano glass beads at the Houston Quilt Festival - they look simple, yet elegant paired with crystals and silver accents.

For Rita

I made these turquoise chip earrings for Rita, who said she can never find any good turquoise earrings. She cannot wear dangles, so I put these earrings on posts for her. I currently have turquoise, orange, and pink and green jasper chips available for this earring design. They can be made on posts or ear wires.

Black Crystals

I made these simple black crystal and silver beads for my friend Haley, who wanted something "black for everyday". Hope she likes them.

Earrings for Mom

I made a similar pair of earrings for my mother for Mother's Day this year - the beads reminded me of her green Depression Glass dishes that she had when I was growing up. Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

Here are the same beads in blue instead of green.


A different version of the green earrings I made for my mother.

Beads from Mexico

I was not sure initially what these beads were - I got them from a street vendor in Catemaco, Mexico during a trip over Christmas 2005. I have since determined that they are probably dalmation jasper. Whatever they are, they are fun!

Abalone Beads

Earrings made with abalone shell beads with crystal and silver accents.

Caterpillar Bracelet

Fringed bracelet using different sized monochromatic seed beads.

Freeform Peyote

This is a spacer for a cake stand (1 of 3) that I beaded for
my mother using freeform peyote stitch.

Jasper and Pearls

These earrings are made with jasper stones, pearls, and silver accents.

Lampwork Beads

These earrings were made with lampworked beads and Swarovski crystal and silver accents.

This pair has a similar color scheme, but the beads are a little more elaborate.
