The earrings are made with Miyuki size 11 Delica and size 15 Seed Beads or Rocailles. The trim work is size 11 Sterling Silver Plate Delica and Sterling Silver Rocailles in size 15.

The ear wires are Sterling Silver Fish Hooks with Ball in 12mm. The earrings are connected to a Sterling Silver 7mm x 4mm bale with loop to hang on the ear wire.

I have been beading since the mid-1990s and am self-taught. In the beginning, I mainly used Bead&Button magazine and made some of their many projects until I learned enough techniques and stitches to begin designing my own things. I enjoy making beaded projects using different stitches and styles and rarely make the same design twice. I rarely sell my pieces. I decided to start making earrings and barrettes to sell in October 2021.

I love to see other bead artists' work and share ideas and techniques.

I will consider bespoke, as well. Just message me!
