Doradus


This is my 3rd cuff in the Deep Space series (the first two have already sold!). This one is based on one of the photos of the star formations in the 30 Doradus Nebula. I loved the mix of colors. The photographs from the Hubble Space Telescope can be seen on the Nasa Images website (http://www.nasaimages.org/)

Spiral in Space Cuff

After many failed attempts, several starts and tear-aparts, here it is at last! The first in my Deep Space Series. This one is based on a Hubble Space Telescope photo of a spiral galaxy. It is 24 beads across, single-drop peyote technique and I have 16 different colors of Delicas in it! I liked the button because it looked a little like a spaceship!

Inspiration

I have recently fallen in love with the photos from the Hubble Space telescope and decided to try my hand at creating patterns and cuffs from these photos! So far, I am VERY pleased and excited about this new series of cuffs!

Latest pieces...

Floral Filigree II (in pink, white and gray-rhodium) for the BAO Color Challenge 07/25/11

This piece is based on Graveyard Point Plume Agate, but I don't think I want to name it that. This was for the CCC Week #34 Challenge.

Floral Filigree (in light tan, alabaster and crystal clear) for the CCC Week #33 Challenge.

This gorgeous cuff was created specifically for my dear friend Dawn Blair. It's based on purple agate stone.

Visitors

Aren't they sweet? A mama deer and her two fawns came out of the woods to nibble on some grass in our next-door neighbor's backyard. They were so cute and bounded all around before heading back into the woods with mama!

Cloudy Skies in June

Lately, I've been obsessed with sky photos...well, clouds really. They're always different, always fascinating.
