Here are some recent creations of mine...I've recently learned how to make earrings and am still practicing wrapping the wire. My mom brought me some good tools and a bead holder, which is great since I left all my beading supplies in Portland. It's challenging to get a good photograph of these, especially showing the detail. Let me know if you have any ideas about how I could take better jewelry photos. The backgrounds you see here are a wooden coffee table, a dinner plate, a black throw pillow, and my live model--myself.

I didn't know you did beading! I make rosaries and the like, myself. I also have some trouble getting good pictures of jewelry, but have found that flat black backgrounds work best for me, especially for clear and translucent beads. Your shot on the black background is nice. It really looks like the best result you got was with a live model, though, that shot looks lovely. It helps to have a pretty neck to show off the jewelry off in its natural habitat, yes?
I absolutely LOVE your designs! Have you considered selling your beautiful "wares" at some point? I hear the craft show circuit can be fun and rewarding... maybe even just as a seasonal thing, for kicks.
Thanks for the compliments :) I've mostly given them away and sold some to friends in the past. There's alot I still don't know how to do, and I've never taken a class.
