New to my etsy shop are these pretty little earrings I call “Serpentine”.  Click the picture to go.

Here we have a sampling of bracelets that I will be taking to the Meadows of Dan craft show. If you’re in the neighborhood the show will be September 26th 9:00-5:00 and 27th 9:00-3:00 at the community building.

Just listed in my little shop on etsy, these earrings are made with vintage brass bead caps and lucite flowers

Custom-made glass beads

Glass beads have been made for centuries, being used for adornment and trade. The glass beads used in my jewelry I make myself.

I create the glass beads using a torch combining oxygen and propane. I melt long rods of glass onto a steel rod and form a round bead, then use various colors of glass to decorate the bead.

When decorating and forming are complete, the bead is then placed in a 975 degree kiln where it is annealed (slowly cooked) overnight.

My jewelry is now available at The Book End, in the Village Green shopping center in downtown Floyd!
