Gold tone stainless steel wire and red pyramid beads on the bracelet.
Some of my beads and jewelry are shown. All are made with Murano glass using a torch and oxygen, then annealed for hardness.
A chunky bracelet made from black stone cubes and a vintage glass clasp that I found at agrainofsand.com and absolutely loved. I like the look of knots between the stones-kind of a unique look for a bracelet. And just black accessorizes sooo many outfits!
I made this with lampwork beads from Tania Black. They'd been in my stash for quite a while. Love the colours in this one.
I made this one for hubby using a kitchen sink mix of niobium rings in byzantine weave. He loves it.
An alternative color-way for the Magic Carpet Bracelet.
Many of my designs are part of my "Vineyard Series" - when you drive around the Napa - Sonoma highways that border Vineyards- you will likely find rose bushes...I love pink - so that became my 'pallet' ...this was alot of fun - my orginal brabelet was created in 2007 called the "Mustard Festival" bracelet - and I was able to teach the class at the Bead Unique show in Sonoma, 2007. So far I have designed three in this series - Mustard for February when the mustard is in full bloom; Summer - Rosebuds; Fall - using autumn colors. Thank you for looking - Donna Houck, Napa Valley Jewels - an online store at Ruby Lane.
