Start to Finish

Here is a necklace being constructed





It still needs a bit of tweaking to make it lay right but it's just about done.

The beginning of the Rainbow

I grew up in Kansas so no designs would be complete without a rainbow. This image does not show the colors as well as it might. It is hard to differentiate between the bright turquoise and the blue but you get the idea.

Mine Mine Mine ALL Mine!!!!

Presents of mind....

These were all christmas presents for friends and associates. This is where it all went crazy....























This post Under construction...

I wanted to alternate groups of three beads to see just how much variation I could get with just bead size, color, material, etc. Here is what my explorations lead to....











Sisters are so hard to please....


A gift for my sis.
