This is a turquoise cab, given to me by Mary Tafoya (Aunt Molly)--trapped in a bezel of marcasite charlottes and garnet 3mm beads, suspended on a necklace of African Net from Emily Hackbarth's About.com site, worked in size 15/0 amethyst colored beads, embellished with some freshwater pearls.

This is a KLEW bead--made by Karen Lewis, my favorite polyclay artist, suspend on a necklace of tubular right angle weave 2mm garnets

Here's a RAW pearl and Japanese size 14 bead bracelet, a lovely little thing. Chris Prussing aka beadgal told me how to work this one!

This is a one inch tall bottle, that I got from Betcey's Beyond Beadery, covered in brick stitch and netting with tiny 1x1mm microtubes--the iridescent green color.

This is a garnet bead bracelet--done in size 4mm garnet beads, in round right angle weave stitch. It's continuous and has no clasp--just slips on snugly over the hand. It feels wonderful.

This is a bracelet done in a similar style as the above, only in 4mm tiger eye beads, and with a clasp..

I call this piece the 19th Amendment. The coin is a Susan B. Anthony silver dollar, bead bezeled in marcasite charlottes. The choker is done in Kathy Rice's diamond stitch, stitched four deep, in translucent green charlottes and more of the marcasites...

This is the second of my planned series of the 19th Amendment necklaces. The choker is done in Kathy Rice's diamond stitch, stitched in separate rows of shiny purple Japanese 14's and sterling silver charlottes, with Czech druks in opalescent white and purple in between the diamond stitch rows (actually worked as part of the diamonds). The cab is bezeled with silver delicas and the sterling silver charlottes, using Red Ventling's cab bezeling method.

Here's a close-up of the center of the necklace--again, the lighting has somehow made the coin appear gold-toned, but it's just a regular silver-toned Susan B. Anthony dollar.
