Waxed Cotton and Baroque Pearls

This necklace reminds me of Stevie Nick's song Leather and Lace. It was always a favorite of mine, and I just love the combination of these two materials.

A Trio of Stone Bracelets

These bracelets are made from howlite, turquoise, bronzite and fossilized agate. I've always been intrigued by the vast array of colors of stones that are found on our planet. Many people believe (I'm one of them) that everything is energy and therefore the different stones have different energy or "healing" properties. Turquoise has always been thought of as the master healing stone. I wonder if that is why it has continued to be popular throughout time???

For my sister, Pat

I made this necklace for my sister, Pat, for always being there to answer Quickbooks questions for Don and me. Her colors are brown, green and orange. She also appreciates a more casual look, so I used waxed linen and wood. Thank you Pat. I hope you enjoy wearing this as much as I enjoyed making it!

Cool Blue and Grey



A sweet little necklace made with labradorite, kyanite, apatite, turquoise and sterling silver. Would look great with a v-neck white t-shirt and blue jeans.

Silver, Pearls and Crystals

Well, I finally posted a picture of a necklace. This is a very simple necklace made with two strands of sterling silver chain with a chandelier pendant of pearls and crystals. It appears to be vintage for those who like the look of yesteryear.
