"Monarch Wrist Corsage"
|
The Monarch Butterfly has such beautiful colors that it was never thought to not complete one with seed beads. I graphed, loomed and embroidered flowers, with petit size 15/0 glass seed beads, for the Monarch to 'Loom' over. I plan on graphing other species of
butterflies as there are wonderful colors that can be realized!

"Loomed, Cuff
Design, Watch"
Cuff size is appx. 6 3/4" and appx. 2" wide. Loomed with Delicas to match the watch face selected for this particular watch
|
"The watch is
attached to the art of the cuff, and is able to be removed on one side
so the battery can be changed, when needed. The watch face itself can
also be exchanged by removing the pins, as with any watch. This cuff
watch is very "maintainable", while the beading creates a "wearable
artwork".
|
As you can see, I
have chosen to create my bracelets
and watches in a "cuff" style. One
reason is the cuff displays the flower, always on top, and they are
bendable, to fit any size wrist. Through the years of attempting many
ways to accomplish this style, I have completed a means which is very
durable and flexible. Each bracelet and watch has the adjustable band
wrapped in suede then the bead work is hand sewn on and finished. The
watch faces, with matching floral adornments, are detachable from the
cuff so the battery can be replaced, when needed.

"Leopard Quill Necklace".
The leopard print loomed neck back is graphed to match the "quills" used in the fringe.
I loved seeing quills being used with beading and wanted to utilize them in a necklace.
The fringes are also finished with glass cut beads and glass daggers.
|
"Poppy Necklace".
This necklace is so light, it is not even felt when worn. As it does in the picture,
it "glows". I loomed with silver lined delicas and finished with gloss back centers of each flower. The background, on the banding, is a flat black and allows the poppies to really 'jump' out when worn.
|
"Dogwood Necklace"
One of the most realist patterns I have created, the colors are a flat/muted tone and really make the petals look real to the touch. The blue background was meant to compliment the off-white and green in this necklace.
|
The
Following items were designed by other artists. These items were beaded by me.
I normally don't do designs by other artist, but these were fun.
The beaded birds are designed by Dragon at Unique Beaded Jewelry
"Oriole Bird Necklace"
This is the perfect necklace for the sincere "Baltimore Oriole Bird" fan. I live in Maryland and go to Baseball games, from time to time. When I where this necklace, or one like it, I always find myself actually selling directly off my neck!
|
"Ravens Bird Necklace"
Again, just perfect for the committed "Baltimore Ravens Fan", such as ME! I may attend Oriole Baseball Games, but I have to be honest, I am a true, dye-hard Ravens' Maniac, with season tickets to boot! Again, this necklace goes GREAT with any Ravens' Game Attire!
