A Mid-Autumn Dream


Hues of orange and brown come together with a mixture of antique copper beads and copper. A hint of ivory throughout the beads adds a lovely contrast with the sparkles on the pendent being the finishing touch.

The last bit of summer holds on in this piece with the pear green oval bead that is framed by a small amber leaf above and a large, twisting, amber leaf below. 6mm from the top of the arch of the earwire. $5

Sticks in a Row


Deviating from clustering the amber sticks, I opted to alternate them with rice pearls in a shiny shade of amber. The simplicity of this bracelet is enhanced by the oval-shaped flower box clasp in antique copper. $20

Bundle of Sticks


Begin fall one step ahead by having your stick already bundled. Red aventurine rectangles form the base of this 6.5" bracelet. The bundle of amber sticks adds flare while the copper barrel clasp adds variety of color. $15

Sticks and Leaves

Now that Autumn is officially here, I know that many of you are picking up sticks and raking leaves. These earrings would be perfect for all of this season's yard labor. The antique copper earwire sets the stage for the amber sticks and orange leaf with its grooved surface. These are affordable on any budget at only $5.

Additonal items from Autumn Line

Once again my life as an attorney has kept me too busy to post any additional pieces from my autumn line. It is unbelievable the amount of work that can pile up while you are at a two-day seminar (training required to maintain my ability to practice law and to continue to represent children in custody battles).

The weekend will be begin with a gig for my band (screw city saints) so I hope to be able to post my next piece in my Autumn line very soon.

Autumn Harvest with a hint of green necklace


As promised, the first necklace in my Autumn collection. I wanted to have the lampwork bead as the focus of the necklace with its swirls invoking the image of blowing leaves on a crisp October morning. I wanted to emphasis its golden, red, and orange hues. The red agate donuts separate the piece in distinct sections and add an interesting focal point. The flat oval (golden quartzite), round (red agate), and twisting oval (red aventurine) shapes visually compliment the striking colors of the beads. Finishing touches were the antiqued copper crimp beads and copper s-shaped clasp.
18" long with the lampwork bead laying at 9". $23.
