Events

My next vendor dates are Wednesday, July 13, 11am-4pm and Saturday, July 16, 2pm-7pm. Come have a little summer fun and see my fanciful inventory: light like a butterfly, sparkly like a firefly, exciting like fireworks.

I'll be participating in Designing with the Stars at Bead Fest - Benefiting Beads of Courage on August 18. Scroll down a bit on the Bead Fest website to see a description of this special event. And please visit the Beads of Courage website to learn more about this wonderful organization.

Video Instruction

Bend it, twist it, shape it, wear it. In my latest episode from the Beads, Baubles and Jewels Television show, watch as I warm-up by bending and shaping sheet metal using Conetastic™. The design is then enhanced with patterns, texture and color. View segments of this latest video and a sampling of others on my Video page.

Design

Lush Garden Necklaces display a palette of colors, textures, and shapes using vintage or contemporary themes.

“This gloriously regal brooch, with its stunning Cabochon swan cameo, has a retro feel that reprises all the glamour of a 19th-century salon.” - Swarovski Click to view and download the project.
