A Beadweave Lariat


Here's a beadweave lariat I made. I like the style but think it needs to be longer. I've not been happy enough with the way it looks to wear it.

Polymer Clay Bangle


I really like this bangle my friend Michelle helped me make. The cane is one I made a few weeks ago.

Polymer Clay


Here's a polymer clay three-toed sloth I made with the guidance of Christi Friesen's excellent "Welcome to the Jungle" book. Her books are excellent and have the most brilliant step-by-step instructions that mean it's relatively easy to produce something that looks good.

Lampwork Beads






Here are some lampwork beads I've made.
The tiger style beads are Corina Tettinger's design and I like making them very much.

Polymer Clay Necklace


This is a polymer clay necklace I made from some beads I really liked. Some of them ended up looking a bit like the "Scream" mask which I thought was quite clever. My polymer clay beads get sanded in my rock tumbler then buffed with my little dremel type thing.

Beadweave Necklace



This is a variation on a Mary Davis creation and I like it very much. I wanted it to have an antique feel and think I achieved that with the colours I choose.

Lampwork Bead Necklace


Here's a photo of a lampwork bead necklace I made. I wanted a way of wearing lots of my lampworks beads at once and something that was a bit versitile.

I wear this necklace very long or wrap it once to create two strands. Unfortunately it looks wierd as a bracelet because I think there are just a few too many beads for that.

I've used a bit of leather and just tied simple knots between groups of beads so the lampwork isn't too overwhelming.
