A fan tribute to a favorite NASCAR driver, Tony Stewart. This one's for hubby, a car-mirror trinket.
Antique looking yet modern plastic, any beads can be made to look elegant with the right peyote and netting behind them. The light plastic accent beads keep this from being a burden to wear.
Circular peyote blooms into a net bulb and closes up to a twisted fringe tassle, in all the colors of Carnivale. The red satin lining was a tough pick, many other colors lent a different mood to the bag.
Butterflies take flight with this simple design, adorned with thick luxurious twisted fringe. The fringe is attached 1 inch up from the bottom of the bag adding an illusion of fullness without the weight of a heavier fringe.
Blue jeans and tee shirts, or a denim skirt and velvet top, this bluesy bag with pressed glass flowers is fun to wear.
A simple pin-on amulet baglet for a special little girl in my life, who adores the PowerPuff girls.
This loomed bag was gift for a friend who moved to japan, the kanji for 'peace'. I wanted versatility, so the colors on one side are inverted. Definitely a design aspect I'll try again!
This tiny pink amulet is done with bugle beads for speed and a change of pace. It's large enough to hold a penny for luck and has reversible fringe.
This thistly purple bag is cylindrical for a little different look. The chandelier fringe and ruffled top are focal points that make it one of my favorite bags.
My first blue ribbon winner at the county fair. I fell in love with the jellies at Monterey Bay and was inspired to recreate them in beads, with three dimensions! A labor of love for nature's beauties.
Three bold jewel tones, scarlet, cobalt, and emerald, blend in unusual ways to bring a pop of color to any outfit.
Twisted flapper fringe on this tassle type net bag, simple yet elegant.
My own tribute to the PowerPuff Girls. Blossom being my favorite, I spent weeks making this bag which is large enough to carry sunglasses and a lipstick with ease. It's my summer favorite!
Gypsy twisted fringe, in the 'illusion' style of the butterfly bag (attached 1/3 up the body of the bag, creating fullness) this simple rosebud design is great with jeans and sweaters.
Another bugle-bead for speed design, the shorter length strap makes this cobalt and black blend the perfect on-the-go amulet bag.
I love butterflies! This bag features some open net at the top and a cute flower and picket fence border. This is a card holder until I get around to making a strap.
This springy green bag is a match for the Pagoda barrette on the hair decor page.
Polymer clay checkerboards, some of my first PC beads ever, matched with some fun raspberry colored triangle beads and chips.
Pressed glass leaves and a variety of browns and cream remind me of cool autumn weather and a nice hot cup of java.
My own card holder, this piece has seen some heavy use! I've done minor repair to it at least 3 times over the past 4 years, but it has never let me down. Sun on one side, moon on the other, on an earthy green and copper background.
My first attempt at freeform stitching, around a form. I call it Chaos and Order, and reminds me of life.
Jet colored and crystal clear glass bicone beads with silvery enameled drops. This necklace is lovely for any occasion.
