Turkish Delight Bracelet


Gorgeous etched pink and purple beads with dots of silver, dangles of pink alabastro leaves and purple crystals. Silver filigree beads and jump rings complete the look. I really love the colour combination of rose pink and purple in this bracelet (the centre bead was made from a tutorial by Naos glass beads)

Nebula Necklace















Beads from space! ultra cool black beads with swirly nebulas of silvered ivory, and dots of silver wire. All strung up with obsidian chips and czech glass crystals.

Opal Pendant

I wanted to make glass bead that looked like an opal, and I'm pretty happy with this one. Its made with blue alabastro and sparkly dichroic glass, then encased in clear for depth. I then made a wire wrap around the bead, then added czech glass dangles for extra sparkle.

Low Fat Cupcake

Who dosn't like cupcakes? Especially when you can wear a deliciously coloured one around your neck. More of these to come..

Yummy Chocolate Heart

This looks good enough to eat!

Some Favorite Beads

This is one of my sister's favourites, with a turquoise background and encased orange-red flowers. Must make more of these!








This bead has some amazing color reactions --and the best part is that its made with only two colours and some silver leaf. It looks like some kind of exotic microorganism found in hot springs...









I love how this bead feels. The surface is etched to give a matte finish, and the colours (light blue, silvered ivory and grey) remind of a stormy beach on a rainy day.
