| Wings for
Sonia |
The inspiration
for this piece was a friend and co-worker who decided to spread her
wings and venture out toward a new career.
The focus of this
piece is the use of beautiful Swarovski crystals.... 6mm down the
center, 4mm along the edges. The piece is reversible with pearly
white colored seed beads along one side and lovely amethyst colored
seed beads on the other. The findings are a sterling silver toggle
clasp and adorable pewter butterfly charm. |

| Gran's
Butterfly Garden |
My grandmother
loved butterflies, especially one huge monarch that often
came to
visit. When I was a child she found an old worn sundial and
put
it in the backyard. Then she transplanted from nearby woods
the
wildflowers the butterflies loved best to make herself a
butterfly garden.
Last Spring I took MY grandchildren back to
visit the gravesite near the old homestead, and we visited the
butterfly garden...I couldn't believe it, it looked just as I
remembered it. I have beaded this version of Gran's
Butterfly
Garden, which is my Timeless Treasure.Thanks Jeannette Shanigan and
Suzanne Cooper for permission to use your butterfly designs in my
beadwork.

| Garden
Bracelet |
| The perfect
project for a very gray, snowy winter! Using a pattern from a recent
issue of Beadworks magazine (many thanks!), my dreams of summer
bloomed in this bracelet. A base of vintage brown bugles and white
cubes forms the fence slats, which are then fringed with czech seeds
beads and vintage czech flower beads. An enameled button shaped like
a lily pad complete with a frog makes the perfect clasp for this
perpetually blooming garden. |
