I designed this for 2 reasons…I LOVE hearts, and Valentines Day is around the corner:)
(I just opened a ETSY shop, so I wanted some Valentines jewelry to put in it)
It is designed with 16 and 18 g copper, and if you look close enough, you will see all the rings are “Entwined” in each other. This is the before picture, I have this bracelet sitting in smelly egg right now to patina:)
Comments are always appreciated!!

I have been playing around with cuffs lately, and saw this in my new book. I made a few changes to the original design to suit my style and I definitely had fun making it, so I’m currently working on one in silver.
This was created using lampwork beads that were designed for my friend Linda. They were suppose to be much bigger for a necklace, so when they arrived, She decided she wanted a bracelet instead. Something simple. I finally found some 28 gauge copper, which is soo hard to work with, but I think this turned out nice.
This was a little bit of a challenge for me. I love to make Eni style Mosaic pendants, but I wanted to do something a little different. Here is my twist.
Designed with Aquamarine, Labradorite and Smokey Quartz to transition the Zephyr from night to morning. I really enjoyed making this labor of love and thought the colors complimented each other well. Im off to make some matching earrings, because Im thinking of keeping this for myself:)

These are commissioned pieces that I had only 3 days to make.
I am especially happy with the ring…it was my first attempt at creating this style on my own without purchasing the base. I’m so happy it came out ROUND!!
I used 14g wire and a 7mm jump ring, and weaved the jump ring with 26 gauge wire so I could attach the crystals and silver beads. I was stressing because it is a tiny size 5, and that made it harder to achieve the look.
Im a little behind, The holidays have totally overwhelmed me.
Remember the fun earrings from week 9? Well, Mom wanted a matching bracelet in pinks and blues, but this sold before I could get it to her, Now I have to make her another one!!
I have a show tomorrow and was running low on rings, so I thought I would make some:) The turquoise ring was designed from a tutorial I printed on Beth’s site a while ago~Thanks Beth!
With Thanksgiving being my holiday, I barely had time to make anything. My mom is visiting for the first time in 5 years, and wanted me to make some fun earrings, which are usually my favorite to make….well, they took a little longer than expected and it has been really windy here for photographing outside….bla bla…here they are:)

Ok, so its not art, but this was designed from a drawing I did as a exercise in Birthing from Within, a natural childbirth book I read while I was pregnant with my son Ryan. I have been wanting to do something with the drawing, and this was the perfect opportunity to do so. I really enjoy looking at her because she reminds me of a wonderful birthing experience.
