Both of us were really pleased at its outcome.

Violets Slipped and Leaved3 viewsThis piece is a special order I received from an aquaintance. She wanted a small seed bead pendant that portrayed a violet with its' leaves and stem. This pendant measures approximately .93 inches wide by 2 inches long. I backed it with white moire taffetta, and topped it with a sterling silver ring, to make putting it on a chain easier.

Baroness Antonella Carmina de Marco's Favor Side 15 viewsThis was my first serious experience with polymer clay. My friend wanted to give the gentleman that was fighting for her in an SCA Crown Tourney a favor that was something a little different. We came up with the idea of a favor that would have a portrait of her on one side, and her name, the year, and her motto on the other. It took a lot of tries, but this is finally what I came up with. Both she and the gentleman were quite pleased with it.

Elke's Teaball11 viewsMy mother in law loves a good cup of tea when she comes home after work, or anytime, for that matter!
For Christmas, I decided that she needed a special teaball to make her tea. I used Swarovski crystals, lampwork glass, Czech glass, and argonite beads to make this. I also gave her a cup that matches the colors I used in the teaball.

Mom's Green and White Earrings6 viewsMy mom was looking for a pair of earrings to go with a very specific outfit that she was wearing to a wedding. We spent some time going through my beads, holding them up to her outfit, until I came up with these light green and white porceline handpainted beads, and some accent beads of white glass. They were perfect for that outfit and numerous others in her wardrobe!
