| Crystal
Lake |
| In the summertime
as a young girl, I often went with my family to Crystal Lake,
located in the beautiful Rocky Mountains in Montana. The shimmering
lakes reflect the beauty of the mountains. Most Montana lakes are so
crystal clear you can see to the bottom at the deepest spot. My
choice of beads and colors in this bracelet capture the timeless
beauty of a Montana lake. This slinky bracelet just shimmers with
color! Bring your picnic basket and huckleberry pie! |

| Beads Into The
Universe |
| This is a piece I
did from a Bead & Button issue August 2003. It is done in delica
seed beads and used a 2 needle peyote stitch.My bracelet is BEADS
INTO THE UNIVERSE and I believe is a timeless bracelet because the
black represents the outer space of the universe and the colors are
the beads infusing into it; this is from the dawn of time there was
the universe and from the beginning there were beads of some sort
and here is the joining of them for all times. |

| Over the
rainbow |
| It took over 300
Swarovski crystals to make this sparkler. Any of you who have worked
with Swarovskis know you simply cannot capture their beauty in
photos. I used a flat net pattern and rolled it into this glittering
bracelet. A silver filigree box clasp is the pot at the end of the
rainbow. |

| A Mother's
Timeless Love |
The Victorians
had a custom of making jewelry that incorporated the birthstones of
a person's loved ones to keep them symbolically close to themselves.
I made this bracelet for my mother for that purpose. The cab in the
middle has the Japanese ideogram for the word "Mother". The
gemstones handsewn to a clear seed bead peyote base are stones that
represent my mother and her children. My Mother: Ruby (July),
myself: Bloodstone (March), my husband: Turquoise (December), my
brother: Quartz Crystal (Instead of Diamonds, for April), and my
other brother: Pearl (June). The timelessness of this bracelet are
the symbols of a mother's love for her children. A love that never
dies.
