"African Violets"


This one was A Christmas gift for a very dear friend. I used violet & yellow pearl beads, glass triangle beads, silver metal beads, antiqued silver end beads and a silver filigree clasp with a little metal hanging heart tag that says; "made with love." Cuz it was! ;oP

"Ruby Wings"


This was made for someone who is a very special and unique individual. Her favorite color is red, so I used red crackle beads accented with gold filigree, metal butterflies & dragonflies & antiqued gold metal beads. Finished with a gold lobster-claw clasp.

"Hearts & Roses"


This was also made for a very special person, using her favorite color. I used pearl, glass crackle, topaz hearts and gold filigree beads. The focal bead is a lampwork bead with roses inside. I used a gold filigree clasp to complete the piece.

Fairy Atc ~ "Petal"

This little fairy also went to live with someone she was made especially for. I used black cardstock, a black and white fairy print colored in with colored pencils and magic marker, glitter paint, gold border stickers and silver sharpie.

"In The Garden"


I made this bracelet special for someone as a surprise. It is made of marbled glass beads, aurora borealis glass roses, metal flowers, dragonflies, butterflies & ladybugs (all things the loves) and an antiqued metal floral clasp.

"Asian Inspiration"


I made this atc for a special person who likes asian-themed things. I used black cardstock as a base, then covered it with a distress-inked coffee filter. Then I added the giesha image and painted around it with irridescent glitter acrylic paint. When that dried, I added flower embellishments cut from wallpaper samples and painted on the same acrylic glitter as the background.

"Ocean Dreams"

I made this necklace out of glass, metal, pearl & lampwork beads. I also used an antiqued metal heart clasp. The blown glass fish is one I received in a swap and thought it would go perfectly with the rest of the theme. :)
