Princesses apply within with this gorgeous crown with built
up moving dangles. I made this for my niece for
Christmas to add to her dress-ups and I must admit, I wore
it for a while too! I started with a purchased head
band with diamontes and built up from there. If you
would like one for your own wardrobe, just ask for a quote! |

A friend has had this copper and silver ring for over 20
years but the main stone had fallen out so I replaced it
with a pretty little amethyst cab. Very fun repair to
do. |

This ring was so much fun to make! A friend approached
me to design a signet ring with the letters P C R E which
are significant for him as a present. I carved the
ring shape and the cross out of wax and then had it cast
into sterling silver. I then had an engraver put the
letters on for this stunning result.

An amazing necklace that showcases chainmail and wire
work. All metalwork on this necklace started as
straight copper wire to create a work of art sumptuous
enough for royalty. Stones include garnet, Czech
pressed glass, lamp work and foil beads. There is over
25 hours represented in this piece. |
 |
Sterling silver wire worked pendant featuring two Australian
opals. The stones are set with the wire without one
drop of solder. Total dimensions are 5 cm x 4 cm.
Pendant represents 6 hours of wire work.

LA00 - Blue
Twist
A wire
worked bracelet created with silver and lapis lazuli beads
provided by the client. I incorporated the new wire
working techniques I have learned and added some Indian
Silver rings and a Hill Tribal silver ring for dangles.

A wire worked
bracelet featuring brass and a green Indian foil
bead. Brass bells create a light music emphasising
the wearer's movements without being too much. All
wire beads have been hand created and this is a solid
bangle - very comfortable to wear. Created for a
dancer. |

Exploring a
new technique, wire working.
Every wire component on this bracelet has been hand made
for a stunning design. Look soon for sterling silver

Tribal
Spiral
An
adjustable necklace on black Greek leather. African
hand painted bone black and white beads accentuate Karen
tribal spiral sterling silver pendants. Necklace
adjusts from a choker down to 30 inches long and has no
clasp.
Would match

Christmas Ornament
A friend
approached me to make a special Christmas ornament for her
tree. She favoured butterflies so I created this on
a new tool I purchased, the Wig Jig. Iridescent Czech fire polished crystal and coloured glass beads give
these three butterflies a bit of colour while spirals and
woven beads in the wings give it the whimsical look.
This particular ornament is in base metal. It would
also make a fantastic bracelet! |
 |

Angels on High
The same
person also favours angels so wanted a pair of Christmas
earrings that are festive yet go with any coloured
outfit. I tweaked the butterfly template a little
bit and produced these two Angels with Czech fire polished
iridescent rounds and glass cubes. Each Angel is
2.5 cm high. |
 |
EA21 - Cluster Earrings
Dramatic
earrings for a formal occasion. These earrings have
Austrian crystal tear drops and faceted rounds, gold tone
fresh water pearls, purple tone fresh water pearls, gold
Greek metal washers and rounds, Czech bi-tonal yellow and
metallic gold crystal with gold filled hooks. Easily
duplicated in any colours. |
 |
EA20 - Ring
A ring to
match a pink set of necklace, bracelet and earrings a
client purchased. This ring is on an adjustable
silver finished base that supports multiple dangles,
called a "Bling Bling" ring. This one is
about as full as the ring form can hold so the dangles do
not move much. If it is less full then the dangles
constantly move for a playful look. |

A client
approached me with a handful of necklace pendants she never
wears anymore. She wanted to use them again because each
one had a special meaning in her life but was stumped what to
do. I made a charm bracelet for her. This is a 10
K gold bracelet and strong gold filled jump rings for each
charm. |

EA 18
Indian
glass beads in random colour order accented with black seed
beads for a stunning necklace 90 cm long (36 inches) to wear
twice around the neck. A fun piece to match t-shirt or
nice outfit alike. This piece is easily reproduced.

A
client liked my black and white version but preferred pink and
purples, so I adapted the design a bit. I've combined vintage
Turkish silver beads, vintage Afghani silver dangles, Pink
rose quartz beads, Chinese glass pink beads, Czech pressed
glass purple beads and black glass beads with sterling silver
wire. The spirals were wire wrapped and I even made the
clasp myself! What a fun project that turned out
well. I have enough beads to make a few more. |

EA16
A
real challenge, I have been inspired by some beautiful works
by Connie Fox and truly wanted a stab at creating something of
her calibre for my collection. I've combined vintage
Turkish silver beads, vintage Afghani silver dangles, African
black/white bone beads and black glass with sterling silver
wire. The spirals were wire wrapped and I even made the
clasp myself! What a fun project that turned out
well. I have enough beads to make a few more. |

After
creating EA08, the random pattern really grew on me so I took
the orphan beads in my workshop (beads left over from other
projects and one offs) and created this double stranded
bracelet measuring 7 inches (19 cm). It sports brass washers,
tiger eye balls, orange carnelian, stone, bells, Indian glass,
Czech glass, Chinese leopard stone, metal beads, black African
beads and a vintage clasp. I have enough beads left over
to create a similar look a few more times. |

One
repair that was a challenge was to take an artistic necklace
that was quite large (2 cm squared) on stiff wire and recreate
the look in a slightly smaller design for a client.
After removing meters of wire, I used the Jasmine necklace
idea of 3 tiger tail strands to weave the same random look to
this reproduction. A welcome challenge and love that end
result! |

A
client approached me with several beautiful strands of high
quality pearls to make into several gifts for friends.
Here is a double stranded illusion necklace strong on soft
touch tiger tail and sterling silver crimps to show off the
individual pearls.

With
the left over pearls a stunning bracelet was created for the
client's mother. This is white and pink fresh water
peals with 2 mm sterling silver crimps in between as spacers
strung on memory wire. On each end 2 pearls dangle for
additional movement.

Green
lustre resin beads are individually featured on a strand of
black Greek leather. There are no clasps in this
necklace, rather special fishing knots allow the necklace to
be a choker or a very long necklace by drawing the right
strand through the central slip knot. A necklace that is
extremely versatile.

EA08
A
man's necklace. An artistically spaced random design of
many different beads in hues of brass to yellow to browns for
a masculine yet unique look beyond the normal uniform style
deemed appropriate for men. Dominate brass washers bring
together a mixture of quartz, natural stones, glass beads,
tiger eye and hematite with the African hand carved black
mask.
