Simple yet effective

Sometimes it's the simplest pieces that are the ones that pop out at you. I generally create pieces that I would wear myself and my preferences are geared towards natural stones and fibres, though I do love the jewel colours of glass beads too.

This was one of the first pieces I ever designed - labradorite with deep brown and blue beads and silver accents. There's a necklace that matches it, and enough materials left to make earrings.

Cord necklace with a large hand-felted purple bead & black thread accent, and smaller purple and black glass beads.

 100% Merino wool crocheted chain with purple and black glass seed beads. Designed to be wrapped round the neck and tied in a bow, leaving the ends to dangle.

Carnelian and labradorite bracelet with natural seed bead loops, knotted cotton thread to hold it together with a ceramic bead to fasten - one of the original test pieces for the row-counter bracelets.

Chunky glass and lustre bead bracelet with glass seed bead loops - a silk and wool fibre yarn was used as a threading material and closes with a shell button. I love the juicy colours of the green beads against the more subtle lustre beads.
