JEWELRY AND OTHER CREATIONS
In addition to the amulet bags you have viewed I have also designed and created earrings, necklaces, bracelets, dreamcatchers and wallhangings. The black necklace shown here is done in macrame using black waxed linen cord and green glass beads. I have made many variations on this design going back many years. Macrame is a quick craft and easy to learn.
The earrings shown here are done in a stitch called Commanche weave. This is an easy stitch to learn and you are limited only by your own creativity when it comes to design, color and even length.
The bracelets pictured here are done in square stitch. This is a sturdy stitch that can easily be adapted to bracelets, as you see here, as well as straps for amulet bags. Bracelets like those shown here can be accented with beads in a variety of sizes or stitched plain.
This pendant was made using Friendly Plastic ©. It features a large crystal and is accented with a blue faux gemstone. It is worn on a satin cord.
This pair of earrings are made with watercolor paper. After the shapes were cut out they were soaked in warm water, shaped, allowed to dry, painted and then glued into the flower shape. Earrings of this type are quite lightweight.
More easy earrings are shown here. The pair on the lower left is made with watercolor paper that was painted, and then covered with decoupage to create a glossy finish. The other two pairs are made using Friendly Plastic © sticks. One pair is a melted mosaic, the other a basic shape accented with faux gems.
