This is my own design. It's a variation of the bone and ivory construction. I created "grains" that are larger in scale than the bone or ivory grains. I also made the stain darker. The result is that it looks more like old, polished wood. The diamond shaped inset is from mokume gane slices that I made with gold leaf. I've been told that it looks like abalone shell or something similar. The accessories are wood-like beads that I created and some small glass amber colored beads.

Here are some earrings I made in the "wood" and "shell" style like the necklace at the left. The first pair is obviously a set with the necklace to the left.

This pendant and earring set have the look of enamel with a glossy finish.

I believe I may have made the translucent flower cane in a class. I love elongated heart shapes.

Here are some flower pins I made after learning how to make the canes in a class.

Here is an experiment with using shrink plastic (e.g. Shrinky Dinks) embedded in polymer clay. I made the beaded chain after taking a wire class.

After learning how to make a pumpkin and leaf canes in a class, I put together a lovely Autumn necklace.

These celtic knot pins are made with rubber stamps and metallic powders.

Just having fun! Wanted to make a caricature. Perhaps a future Mad Hatter.

Early works: For these simple bead earrings, I used a basic flower cane I learned to make at a class at Global Beads.

Early works: Natasha Beads are simple to make and can be very beautiful if you pick the colors well. Cut scrap clay, and reset the pieces to create symmetrical (or fairly symmetrical) patterns on all faces.
