apologies

I wanted to let everyone know I'm sorry for no reccent posts.
I've been busy with a few shows and teaching, plus my camera has to charge for photos.


Since this is organ donor awareness time for me, I've also been busy in that realm.
I'm attempting to daily update my transplant blog  http://www.survivinganorgantransplant.blogspot.com/
and with a slow computer this takes most of my day.

I've also placed a video of many of my custom pieces on You tube under the name of
GemsCrystalsAndWire. it's about 2 minutes long if you'd like to view it. If you do, please let me know your thoughts on the video as well as the work..

More photos and possibly ideas soon.

Spidey Ideas

Photos of my Halloween ensemble this year.
It's only one month a year I can make fun jewelry and get away with it!

Who woldn't want to wear a bracelet made with Swarovski crystal skull and cross bones and spiders on webs on their wrist. Or better yet a black widow dangling from her sparkly web as a pendant. Dangle these pretties from your ears, they're just waiting to pounce on someone!

Have fun this Halloween, believe me. this is the closest I'll ever come to a spider!

Happy Great Pumpkin day everyone

Let's get ready for Halloween!!!!

One of my favorite holidays is Halloween!


We can wear the funkiest clothes nad jewelry and get away with it!


I've just taught a class on making High Class Sparkel Spiders.


Using Swarovski crystal pearls, seed beads, bugles and wire. My kits run $5.00 have enough beads to create the variation mentioned in the pattern or you can make the traditional spider.





I've made wire bracelets and attached the spiders to them, dangle earrings, and even spider web pendants.. Go crazy! This is the only month we can....
