I've been making jewelry since about 1998. At first it was just fishing wire and seed beads, but in the past year I've launched into much more. I found a local supplier with amazing prices, colors, stones and glass allowing my jewelry quality to increase exponentially.
Many of you have asked me to post my jewelry on the blog so you can see it. My friend Heidi is a photographer and is building a light box to take professional pictures of the jewelry. Until then, you'll have to put up with my pictures. (Grin)
Gladly Green
This necklace is made with dyed turquoise, glass and dyed shell with a silver, toggle clasp. And no, it really isn't shaped in a heart, only for the picture!
Sunshine Burst
Made with dyed shell, dyed turquoise, and rock. It has 14ct. gold plated earrings and toggle clasp. A friend of mine fell in love with this one and couldn't wait to buy it.
Friendly Flower
My aunt commissioned me to make this piece for her. It is actually made of amethyst & glass with a silver flower pendant and toggle clasp.
Sea Peacock
Made with cut, simulated abalone and peacock colored wooden beads with a silver, toggle clasp.
Sensual Saturn
Interesting in design because each shell circle has a black agate bead in the center. This design is completely original and very labor intensive. However the finished product is well worth it.
I've never gotten so many compliments on any other piece.
I made one with purple glass beads in the center. It was sold the very next day!
Tenacious Turquoise
Made of genuine turquoise and wooden beads with a brass clasp.
I love the rugged earthy feel to it!
(Also has matching earrings.)
Zany Zebra
(I made this piece for a dear friend who had just returned from her mission to Madagascar. That stone is actually called a zebra stone and when I saw it, I knew instantly it was a perfect commemoration!)

Wow -- I really like it! I would buy it. Now that our youngest is a "big" boy, I'm looking for jewelry to wear on Sunday!
Jeanine, just let me know what you're looking for! I make them to order too, so if you have a color you are looking for, a length you like ... etc.
Hey Sarah! It's so fun to read your blog and catch up on how you're doing. You're an awesome writer, an awesome jewelry maker, and you'll be an awesome cook once you get back into the groove of it. I remember a super delicious lemon chicken dinner you made for me in college. I wish I had the recipe I'd give it back to you. Oh, and your banana bread, yum!! I think I do have that recipe if you'd like it. :) Cuidate!
Hey Sharla! Thanks for the compliment! I actually hace some over-ripe banana's right now, so if you want to send me that receipe, I'll gladly take it! ;) Love you!!
