Pearl medallions


I had been wanting to use these Swarovski drops for months but hadn't created the right piece for them until now. The 3 medallions in this necklace were made using double needle crisscross weave. This shade of Swarovski bicones is a favourite of mine, colorado topaz AB2x; they have a gorgeous light blue glow.

Teal elegance


I just finished this one. The Preciosa drops and Czech firepolished glass are a lovely shade of teal with an AB finish. The clasp uses a 16mm Swarovski cosmic crystal.

Bracelets!

I came up with this design a few weeks ago using Czech firepolished glass and seed beads. As you can see, I've made many since then and have started using pearls as well.
