So it's time to start a new gallery for April's designs. I started out with just a couple of new pieces this week. Since I'm getting ready for summer, I'll continue with my sea themed work for now...but who knows what's next.

Bandon Dunes

This bracelet is in my popular slider style with large hole beads that slide on a thick 3.5mm woven chain. The colors in these stunning lampwork beads by Dawn White remind me of the sand dunes and swaying long grasses of the Oregon Coast--hence the name-Bandon Dunes. I've used sterling silver and 22k gold vermeil beads and findings for an eclectic and stunning bracelet.

Girl from Ipanema

Well, she has to be strolling the beach with this adorable flipflop--painted toenails and all. Vickie Miller is the lampwork artist with such terrific style and creativity. I've also used a rectangular bead by one of my all-time favorite lampwork artists--Julie Wong. She hasn't been around much for quite awhile and she is sorely missed, as is her art. Notice the beautiful details on this bead--amazing control, don't you agree. I've paired these exceptional lampwork beads with some of my oxidized sterling Viking weave and faceted carnelian gemstones to complete this delightful bracelet.

My English Garden

Evoking a memory of times past when ladies strolled through their garden, this design is like a wrist corsage to take you back to a genteel time before the world was rushing by at warp speed.
