Flights of Fancy

I always enjoy watching the little humming birds in the summer. I wanted to create a special design to pay tribute to these amazing little birds.

Mizzou Memories -

When I finished this watch, I thought that it looked like a sophisticated Mizzou memory of black and gold. I used a marcasite watch face, 14k gold beads, Bali sterling silver, black onyx, and gold lampwork beads to create this timepiece.

Sweetness -

I was asked to design and think of a piece that would be an appropriate gift for an around the clock baby shower for the mother-to-be. The lady that made the request had to take a gift that would work for 3:00 AM. I chose to paint on a beside water carafe. I hope that as this new Mommy settles back into her bed and reaches for a drink of water that she will smile as she is reminded of the "Sweetness" that awakened her....

Enchanted Kingdom -

Something about this watch makes me think of a princess or an angel.

This watch has quite a story!

First, let me just say that me being an Interior Designer/Artist and my husband being a Developer/Builder--well, the economic crisis is hitting us hard. There is a beautiful lady at our church and she too makes jewelry. Last week she approached me and requested that I make her a watch...Wow! I am so honored and deep down I know that she is trying to help us in a dignified manner. God is so good and sends special angels our way everyday! She wanted a bold gold presence to wear with her gold jewelry. I searched and searched the internet looking for the perfect beads and I believe that I found them...

The hand made lampwork beads are entitled " Golden Tourmaline."

They are just amazing!

I added Bali sterling silver, sterling silver, 14k gold, and mother-of-pearl to create this timepiece. I am very excited about how it turned out...when I look at it, without intention, I see traces of my favorite jewelry designers

( Judith Ripka, Barbara Bixby, Ann King).

I can't wait to present this piece to my special friend.

Thank You

Fields of Flowers -

Here's the field of flowers that surrounds that French Country Cottage. A vast, lush field of grasses, irises, daisies, and wild flowers fill your senses and take you to a place of warmth and peace. Playful dragonflies remind you to enjoy God's gifts of beauty as often as you can...

Simply Southwest -

As a little girl, I lived in Colorado. What a beautiful place to spend some of my childhood - - I moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado when I was in third grade and left when I was in sixth grade. I had a perfect view of Pikes Peak to greet me every day. I have such a warm and peaceful feeling when I close my eyes and remember the wonderful years of childhood. This set is inspired by these memories and dedicated to the beautiful Southwest.

The pieces are made of Sterling Silver, Tiger's Eye, Natural Mother-of-Pearl, Turquoise and Amazonite. Pictured above is a bracelet, earrings, and a large charm that would look lovely as a zipper pull or a handbag charm to complete your ensemble.

"Ocean"

I can't help but dream of the ocean. I just love it so much! When I saw these tumbled, blue mother-of-pearl beads, I had to have them to create my tribute to the ocean.

They melt into iolite chips to join sea blue-green smooth mother-of-pearls that represent the beautiful depths of the sea, Swarovski clear crystals to remind me of how the sun turns the oceans surface into a sparkling diamond, and intricate sterling silver to capture the waves

that are a part of the oceans majesty.
