Small yellow turquoise rounds serve as spacers and a small carrot charm dangles from the end. The heart lobster clasp fastens at many points along the chain making sizing (and sharing, I suppose) a snap! Every great garden is visited by a hungry critter now and then and my Bunny Bead Critter shows that this time is no exception. Paired with a Carrots Bead from Joan, my Bunny truly converts this bracelet from a Garden to a Salad Bar! |

Time & Dragonflies!!
When I worked in the lab, the drosophila lab next door had a clock that said "time and fruitflies".......this is my own interpretation here with "time and dragonflies"! Hand rolled silk beads by Krystal Wick float along on the chain from which hangs one of my favorite charms.....and yes, time does fly!! $35. Comes with 20" sterling chain. You can purchase just the charm on the Charms page.

Be Brave...
When I first went into business on my own, a friend gave me a rubber stamp that said "be Brave and do hard things"....so finally one day I thought, I need to immortalize that thought in silver and so here it is.....the saying continues on the back of the charm. This picture does not do this piece justice, the colors are really great......silk beads by Krystal Wick, lampwork beads by Heather Trimlett. A great gift for a friend who could us the sentiment, or perhaps a good reminder for yourself!! Comes with 20" sterling chain. Be Brave Pendant |

Frog Princes (aka Prince Charming)
When I first saw Joan Miller's new frog head bead design at the Bead and Button show this year I could not believe my eyes! Apologies to my puppies, but it is darn near the cutest thing I have ever seen. Joan and I knew that, when combined with my new Crown finding, the resulting pendant would be irresistable. Afterall, everyone wants their own Prince Charming...right? Each is a little different with variations in the face, cheek and eye colors and the addition of more or less bumps. I matched colors with a crystal in the crown so they appear to be jeweled! Use the pulldown menu to select your favorite color. They are, left to right: Leafy Green, Moss Green, Bayou Blue, Orange Dreamsicle and Royal Lavender. Your choice...$49 each |

Happy Hippo
What a pretty, golden smile my little Hippo critter has when cast in gold. Dressed up as a ballerina and sporting a gold dichroic etched glass star bead from Dee Howl, you can just hear her shouting out loud, "Superstar!!!". |
Lucky Frog
My Frog design is assembled with a green bumpy glass bead with goldstone from Susan Simonds. For many people the frog is a good luck symbol and being cast in gold certainly can't hurt your chances! A very whimsical and detailed design that remains one of my favorites. Ribbit... |

Wise Owl
This is certainly a treat for bird lovers. A dichroic etched glass gold stars bead from Dee Howl is paried with my Owl Bead Critter. Without question, the Owl is one of my most detailed pieces. His eyes in gold are amazing, as are his feathered texture and tree limb perch. Make someone's holiday (how about your own?) with the purchase of this very fine pendant. |
Bat
This piece looks like its ready to fly right off the page! The gold casting really worked well for the look of the bat and I loved pairing it with a Dee Howl dichroic etched glass gold stars bead. As he lifts his wings to propel himself into the starry depths of a midnight sky he asks but one question, "Care to join me?". |
|
King Piggy
My Piggy critter looks quite royal when dressed up in gold and a lavender and deep purple floral bead from Susan Simonds! As royal as you can get while wearing overalls, anyway! The bead also has goldstone accents on the light purple pedals...Enjoy. |
