Chain
Huit Earrings
This
gold earrings were created out of the want for a pair of earrings to
match the Ootheca
Aureat to wear to my friend Jen's sister's wedding. They came out
pretty good so they got a name. "Chain" and
"Earrings" for the title are pretty self explanatory but the
"Huit" if French for the number eight, which the base of the
earring resembles. The vase in the picture was my Oma's.
I
will likely submit this for publishing in a magazine and kit it on the
site. So, watch out for that. Ingredients:
handmade 20-gauge g/f earwires, 24-gauge g/f wire, 3mm Swarovski
crystals in aurum 2X, and a whole bunch of uneven lengths of very
small g/f chain found in a 30 year old bead collection

Bead
Bezeled Cabochon
Just
a few days before teaching the Bead Bezeled Cabochon at The
Beading Frenzy I was shopping for beads at The
Shepherdess in San Diego, and decided to pull beads for the sample
piece I'd demonstrate with for my students. This is the piece which
came out of that collection. The glass centerpiece was purportedly
made by Marcie Stone's husband. The centerpiece was made into a
necklace by adding spiral rope chain.
Ingredients:
Japanese seed beads in 11/0 and 15/0, filigree s/s clasp, Silamide A
and one very lovely borosilicate cabochon.

Flat
Herringbone Cuff
You
may already know this but I work with Susan Kazarian's The
Beading Frenzy as her Class Director. While casually talking about
the Fall/Winter
2006 class schedule Susan suggested I teach a flat
herringbone cuff class. I went home that night and started this
26-bead wide cuff. As I worked on the piece my first thought was,
"this is going to be an awesome piece!" My second thought
was, "uh, this may be too wide for people's liking." It
turned out to be a spectacularly wide cuff and feels great against the
skin but many times as I was beading it up I thought, "when is
this going to be over?" The class was scheduled for 9/23 and was
not a go, so we will likely schedule it again in the first class
session of 2007.
Ingredients:
11/0 Japanese triangles in 3 colors, Fireline 8lb. test, and a
couple of 8mm Swarovski crystals in amethyst satin

Ootheca
Topace
It
was very exciting to complete this Ootheca Cuff. To date this is the
fourth one I've completed--Irid, Aureat, Turqueise, and now Topace.
All the original beads for this piece were collected at The
Shepherdess in San Diego while visiting friends a few weeks ago.
As you may have noticed above, this
cuff now comes as a kit.
Ingredients:
11/0 Japanese seed beads in topaz AB, 3mm Swarovski crystals in
crystal copper, 22-gauge sterling silver wire, 3 sterling magnetic
clasps, and Silimide A.
