Today's #wipwednesday is a new colorway of the Mystic Seas Necklace. It's totally out of my wheelhouse, but it's growing on me.

Today's throwback is the Polaris Pendant. I made a ton of these for Christmas, but they also remind me of fireworks. 🌟⭐💫🎆🎇

Today's #wipwednesday is a new pair of earrings designed to match the Moons of Saturn Necklace. Though I guess it's only a WIP in the academic sense, because all it needs is the ear wires 😅

Once upon a time, when I was first starting to bead, if you had told me that Valerie Hector would be interested in hearing me ramble on about my work I wouldn't have believed you. Seriously though, this was a professional honor, and I can't wait for all of you to see the whole thing :)

The Moons of Saturn Necklace in turquoise and gold. I'm more prone to pair turquoise with bronze, but I fell in love with the Saturn beads that inspired this colorway.

All three colorways of the Floating Keystone Necklace. They all look so different and it's hard to pick a favorite!

The Moons of Saturn Necklace in bronze and pinks. I lifted its colorway from the Czech Saturn beads, which is always a fun color exercise. More info about this workshop at: www.beadorigami.com/pages/worksh...

The third colorway for my Floating Keystone Zoom workshop. I just love its contrast between the matte greens and the shiny purples.

I finished a new colorway of the Floating Keystone Necklace, this time in Jet AB with blue and silver. There's something about the sharp lines and angles in this piece that makes it so satisfying to stitch.
