Now for something totally different - my Knit with Wire Heart Necklace.
I made the chain part of this necklace using one of those spool knitter. It took a while to get going, but I finally go the hang of it.
I used colored wire, so you have to be a little careful as it can be […]
While these don’t have heart beads on them, pink is well-known as one of the colors that symbolizes love. I wear these all the time. I tend to wear a good deal of pink and these just go with everything. Plus the gold-filled findings make these a step up so I can feel comfortable wearing […]
What is more romantic than taking a trip to Venice, Italy? A close second is making some jewelry using gorgeous Venetian glass beads.
These earrings are from my project: From Venice With Love Earrings.
I made these earrings to match this bracelet, also called From Venice With Love Bracelet.
I could go on and on about the quality […]
To go with my little friend’s Prom Queen Earrings, I of course had to make her a matching bracelet and necklace, which is adjustable.
The bracelet includes some of the same supplies, pearls and crystals and hematite hearts, and I strung these on wire and attached them with a wrapped loop. The little heart dangle was […]
I actually made these earrings for a young friend of mine who was going to her high school prom. Heavy, sigh, she’s all grown up now, even has a baby! I know I, at least, did not get any older since I made these Prom Queen Earrings! They are made with sterling silver wire, hematite heart […]
With Janurary coming to an end soon, that means Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. I love this holiday because hearts are some of my favorite types of beads. Therefore, I ened up using this as an excuse to make lots of heart-themed jewelry.
For the next few weeks, I’ll feature some past and present […]
Wow! This has been a great week for me. I’m seeing my jewelry all over the place lately. First, Beadwork, and now I just got my latest baby in the mail yesterday from the publisher. This is my review copy, so I’m supposed to look through it and find any errors so they can fix […]
Yee - ha! In the Feb/March issues of Beadwork magazine, I’m in there two times: First, they have a brief review of my seed bead book, Making Designer Seed Bead, Stone, and Crystal Jewelry, favorable of course (they really liked the illustrations), and then a few pages past that is an ad for all four […]
Someone told me about this excellent tutorial over at MSN Fine Wire Group for making head pins using wire. Actually, this is very similar to what I’ve heard other jewelry makers do, but they would just hold the wire over the flame to allow the metal to ball up before pulling it away from the […]
The long anticipated open forum is, well, open now at b5media.com - the folks that I write this blog for. Here’s the scoop from the home page of the network:
The forums now have a publicly accessible area. As with our original forums, the goal here is to listen, answer questions, and allow outsiders a minor […]
