A tassel of beads topped by a ceramic bird bead I made with dangles featuring Elaine Ray beads and gimp.
It’s hanging off that brass neck wire I love to use and reuse.

Two chains, several ceramic beads, many glazes.
It was hot today. Even these necklaces were almost too much.

Some days I can’t take a good picture.
At least I like the necklace.
Waxed linen stitches together Elaine Ray beads and a bit of glass. Find complete instructions here.

Too simple-round wood beads with a pierced Elaine Ray ceramic bead and a fossilized ammonite pendant.

A mix of elements; red Chinese ceramic, very old Tibetian turquoise, Elaine Ray hand made ceramic, a drilled ammonite fossil, African green amber, a carved bone die. All strung and knotted on red leather cording, finished with a copper-plated steel chain and lobster claw clasp.
Haphazard but meaningful, if only to me.

Out-of-focus Elaine Ray beads with a yellow, dyed-howlite skull…on leather of course. Notice a trend, yet?

Two strands of dupioni silk hold my favorite square jump rings and a mix of felt balls and Elaine Ray ceramic beads. This necklace appeared in Stringing last summer and a version of it can be found here. It looks great with bright prints (as shown) or as a single, colorful accent with a white dress or shirt. The ribbon is fraying nicely. I love bias-cut ribbons for just that reason!
