Donut and Dangles Necklace Video Tutorial

August 3, 2015 by Sandy

Although this mosaic turquoise donut looks great all by itself it’s accented by all the dangles on top. The rustic cord just adds to the Southwestern vibe. Even though you have to wire wrap 2 dozen dangles, this project goes fairly quickly because you…

Art Glass Lentil Necklace Video Tutorial

June 1, 2015 by Sandy

I picked up this huge lampworked glass lentil bead at a bead show last October. It was made by glass artist Ann Conlin.  We’re often so impressed with these large focal beads, but then it can be a dilemma what to do with them. In…

Mojave Sparkles Necklace Video Tutorial

April 27, 2015 by Sandy

The muted earth tones in this necklace make me think of the soft light at dawn or dusk in the desert. I love the contrast between the earthy jasper beads and the sparkly Swarovski bicone crystals. Even though they contrast, it’s the colors that…

Mojave Sunrise Necklace Video Tutorial

February 16, 2015 by Sandy

This necklace uses crystal bicone beads  in a different sort of way, making strung wire shapes as accents. You could easily get creative with this, making bows or butterflies or other such things. I stuck with a simple loopy flower. The copper findings work perfectly…

Dragon’s Teeth Necklace Video Tutorial

January 19, 2015 by Sandy

Every time I look at these stick pearls all I can think is “Dragon’s Teeth.” Not sure why, but that’s where my mind goes, so there you have it. I suppose I could have named it “Spiky Stick Pearl Necklace” but that wouldn’t have…

Ombre Blend Necklace Tutorial

January 5, 2015 by Sandy

This necklace is all about the beads and the ombre shading from dark to light.  Once you’ve chosen all your beads the little silver spacers tie everything together and the stringing is simple. As usual I chose to make mine adjustable. In the video…

Fuchsia Finery Statement Necklace Video Tutorial

December 1, 2014 by Sandy

There’s an interesting story behind how this necklace got started.  I have mentioned that I teach jewelry making at my local Joann’s store. We were having a demo day where we show samples of our work and the teachers are available to…

Blushing Pinks Necklace Video Tutorial

November 24, 2014 by Sandy

Today’s project is a study in simplifying.  Rather then seeing how many elements you can add to a piece, how about figuring out how many you can eliminate? I used rose quartz round beads, but you could just as easily use pearls….
