Australian Beading Magazine: Vol. 2 No.

Les Bijoux d'Amour
My second project for Australian Beading Magazine, Les Bijoux d'Amour, was inspired by my love of pearls. I use pearls in every imaginable shape, size and color in my work. This time around I wanted to challenge Aussie beaders to think outside of the box and use findings in other ways than they were intended. The magazine is yet available in the US but hopefully soon there will be a bookstore near you that carries this beautiful publication. The above necklace, although strung symmetrically, can be worn offset for an alternate version. You can find the project on pages 88-91. In this same issue, you will find Jean Yates' L-O-V-E-L-Y charm bracelet using my peachy borosilicate beads too (pages 32 - 36) which also happens to grace part of the cover.
