Lampwork and coin pearl bracelet
Beaded Bead Pearl balls & sterling chain earrings
A wire wrapped piece I bought in Hawaii that I made a hand knotted pearl 'chain' for
AND my favorite toggles are hill tribe or Bali silver...
although I have started making my own toggles (mainly in copper so far)...
Then there are bead soup parties.... I got these gorgeous sterling leaves in this necklace from Jo of Daisy Chain Jewellery ... Yes I do cut my own rings and make my own chain maille

So yes I guess I do use other 'people's' work to compliment my lampwork beads.... and I use seed beads to make beaded beads.. I just didn't have enough lampwork beads in this house I needed a few drawers of seed beads to keep them happy!

Beautiful! I have lots of beads, and I hardly ever make anything with them. I admire your handmade beads so much.
ReplyDeleteRight now, my office/craft room is such an unorganized mess that I don't think I could find all the tools and components needed to put anything together. I bought three shelf units today that may help with that, but I still need to purge a lot also.
I spent Wed afternoon assembling a shelving unit in the front hall! It looks lovely... but it's still empty... It's purpose in life is to get the gallery overflow off of the living room rug...
ReplyDeleteMy bead room has no hope!
I love your jewellery and how you have utilised other mediums and artists works within your own, beautiful - the first necklace is divine!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, just beautiful!

Your work using other creatures' and other peoples' work is absolutely wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGood luck filling those shelves!
Fruits of the sea! Beautiful baubles. :) I have a collection, but it's hodge podge, I bet I don't hold a candle to some of you folks who've been at this a lot longer than I have! hehehe
ReplyDeleteThose mollusks work hard at covering that grit for you. Honor the pearl...
ReplyDeleteheh
Your work is beautiful. I think the pearls make a great complement to your lamp work. Hill Tribes silver components are some of my favorites too.
