This necklace called "Turqandsilverethnic" has ethnic silver components from Africa and Asia (including antique silver buttons I bought in China) along with my felt beads. Email Arlene

This necklace is called "Lifted Up". This piece demonstrates my love of mixed media. I love to combine found and unusual objects, beads and my own images. The centerpiece of this necklace is a transfer of one of my own cemetery photos that's been done on mica and backed with an antique Bible page. Most themes in my jewelry are spiritually motivated. Email Deryn.

What it means to me: Doing wirework gives me an opportunity to utilize the lampwork beads I make into something beautiful and wearable. I love being able to express myself in jewelry! This necklace was made with handmade lampwork beads (my own) and wirework skills I learned in Connie's class. Thanks so much for this opportunity!

Rhonda Hamilton

This wire wrapped pendant is made using a lamp work bead of my daughter, Shannon Stevens. I am always looking for ways to enhance her wonderful beads and had never seen a bead framed this way. I usually hang the pendant from a hand forged collar or sterling neck chain.

The wire working techniques used in this piece I learned largely from Connie's web tutorials. Thank you for the opportunity to have a piece of our jewelry on your web site. Email Sally.
