Making beads
The 3 above pictures were made by a designer friend of mine, Bonnie Maneval
using some of my beads.
She is a jewelry designer and does custom work. She can be reached at
e-mail bdollsnbeads@aol.com
Bonnie also makes these darling little Button Dolls, you can order them from
her at the email address above.
more button doll pictures to come, check back often
This necklace was done by my good friend Helen Rath.
She made this from Emerald Beetle Wings. That's right, real beetle wings. This picture
does not
do this justice. The emerald color is incredible and hard to get in a photo.
Here is a finished necklace using some of my Lampworked beads. This piece was
designed by Artist Vicki Wright.
I think her design work is some of the best I have seen. She does custom work if you
need something done. She can be
reached by e-mail at beadwright@yahoo.com
Eleanor Powell, a good friend of mine designed
this great looking necklace
using my Christmas beads. Good work Eleanor. Can't wait to see more of her work.
This is a blue Victorian Ornament Cover.
The pattern for this came from Gen Kreie's article in Bead & Button #21
This can be done in almost any color you can think of. I will have more
pictures of other colors
soon. The wood stands are made by my Husband , Leonard. All can be ordered to your
liking.
Here is another Ornament Cover.
This was done by my good friend Janet Smith. This one is done in shades of
purple's. The stand is done in purple heart wood, by Leo Ballard.
This is a black & white turtle with
other black & white lampworked beads one of my customers just finished in April.
Her name is Linda Averill.
This work was done by Ruth Jorgensen,
a member also of the Kitsap Mineral & Gem Society. She is a great silversmith.
Here she used sterling silver and two of my lampworked beads to make this beautiful
necklace. She does custom orders if you like. She can be reached at
e-mail ruthij@comcast.com
This necklace is very beautiful in person, my picture is not to good. I'll try to get
another taken.
