About Me

Bits of Glass: I have always loved beaded jewelry, especially peyote stitched bracelet. I love beaded jewelry that looks like art. I was laid off from a stressful job in the mortgage industry in April of 2011 and found myself bored to tears. One afternoon I wandered over to Lady Bead & Rook in Wilton NH, bought myself a book on beading, all kinds of beads & I was hooked! I've found a new job & I now find that beading at night after work is a great way to wind down. I'm married to a wonderful, understanding man & have 2 beautiful daughters.

Beaded bangle

This is my second attempt at making this bracelet. It was tough! But I am really satisfied with the results. I love wearing it.

tile bead bracelet

This one is quick to make & looks great with jeans. I made it with 5mm 2 hole tila beads, size 11 seed beads & 3 mm crystal pearl beads. The clasp is a simple magnetic gold barrel. this one is very comfy

Old gold Kumihimo

This bracelet is made using a method called Kumihimo which is an ancient japanese style of braiding. It was mase with 8 strands of cord, size 8 matte met. dk. bronze seed beads & long Magatama antique gold beads. The toggle is a purple & gold glass bead.

Silver and Black peyote

This is my favorite bracelet. I made it with size 8 duracoated silver seed beads and size 5 hematite drops. It was tough to get the needle through & my needle ended up all bent but the effect is great!

Embellished Netting

This bracelet is emplelished netting - the base is beaded netting made with size 11 opaque turquoise green & size 11 opaque black seed beads embellished with 4mm black bicone crystals & size 15 black seed beads. This one did come out the way I had envisioned but was fun to make.

Aqua Anenome

Anenome bracelet using 4mm silver beads as base, 4 mm Amazonits & clear size 11 sead beads. This one is very comfortable to wear - the amazonite beads will move to the top of the bracelet so that it lies flat on your wrist.

Teal Net

Bead netting using size 15 matt teal sead beads & size 11sea foam lined crystal AB seed beads. Toggles are glass beads I found in a bowl of odd beads. This one is easy to fasten & very comfortable
