While I do mostly work in chainmaille jewelry, I also do beading, and am known to combine the two. Each item of jewelry or chainmaille that I make & sell is customizable. If you see something you like but it think it needs something else, message me and I’ll work with you to create the piece you’re imagining.

I LOVE to work with my customers to ensure they get exactly what they’re looking for. Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions including those for other colors, different lengths, other styles or anything else you might think you need answered.

I will gladly do custom commissions, special orders, or even bulk orders such as those for a wedding, shower, or other gifts – provided I am alotted enough time to easily complete the task

With a wide range of styles, and materials to choose from, we can work together to make your adornment wish a reality.

The it is named scarab for the fact the units of the metal chain resemble beetles or more accurately Egyptian type scarabs.

I have developed this design for the Rosary Bracelet, which allows the user to always have it handy and visible – a constant reminder that prayer is close at hand. Each Rosary Bracelet comes in its own organza bag suitable for giving as a gift and to protect it when not being worn. The Rosary Bracelet also comes with a card briefly explaining the use of the Rosary (shown in photograph).

This particular Rosary Bracelet, lovingly crafted by me, is 8.25 inches long from toggle to bar, has Cruciform beads of turquoise ovals, and 6mm Week beads of coral. The sterling silver pendant is southwestern style Greek cross. All the other findings are Sterling Silver as well.

Just what you’ve always wanted – some miniature fungi for your ears!

Dangling on a thread from sterling silver ball and loop ear wires and jump ring are a pair of tiny, yet perfectly formed red fungi. Needle felted from soft, blended English wools and covered with fine, ultra-soft Merino wools, these are ear ornaments with a difference!

Back to the 1950s! Love the vintage look of this apron!

This can be a great gift for that awesome hostess, or for yourself while hosting that get-together this season! Do it in style!

The fabrics chosen in this apron are 100% cotton, in stripes, polka-dots, & a solid chocolate color. The stripes and polka dots carry the following colors: stripes have hot pink, pale pink, green, pale blue, baby blue, pale yellow, creme, chocolate and orange. The polka-dot fabric is set on a pale blue background, with chocolate, hot pink, pale pink, creme, orange, & green colors.

The waist is in the polka-dot fabric, adorned with attractive fabric yo-yos: two in chocolate, one in polka-dot. The buttons upon the yo-yos are absolutely adorable- they are what inspired the rest of the apron!

The mid-section of the apron is slightly gathered, and in solid cholcolate.

The 1st tier is in ruffled, polka-dot fabric with a pretty baby blue rick-rack. The following tier: ruffled, striped fabric with the rick-rack., and the chocolate is beneath, without the ruffle.

This is set of wee small fabric-covered boxes — one is square and the other is round.

I’ve used coordinating brown fabrics on these boxes and they’ve been stained and sanded to look very old. The square box is 2″ by 2″ and 1″ tall, and the round box is 2″ diameter and 1″ tall. Don’t they look so old, all tied up with that grubby gauze?

And look what you get inside of these boxes! The square box holds dried rosemary and the round box holds 3 whole nutmegs!

All of my creations come from my smoke-free studio in Northern California.

Spread the Love December 21-27 Merry Christmas

This shop has beautiful jewelry and wonderful tutorials. Very talented designer and teacher.

This tutorial teaches you step by step how to create a basic hinged cage, with or without beaded embellishments. This is a wonderfully versatile design to hold a favorite stone, maybe a love note, or a treasured trinket. Once it is on a chain, it is virtually impossible to come open by accident.
As a bonus this tutorial also includes 2 COMPLETE step by step variations including a crossed wire and locket style cage.
