Manly confirmation rosary

A very powerful Hematite wired with family Imaged confirmation rosary! Enjoy!


This rosary was quite the project... it was filled with very spiritual images of family men. This young boy has a multitude of people praying with him when praying the rosary - may the intercession of so many keep him on a safe path for Christ. This weapon is hand wired with heavy nickel wire and hearty hematite stones. Enjoy!

confirmation rosary - St. Joan pray for us

Confirmation traditional full rosary w St. Joan Images - Enjoy!!


Here are six different images of St. Joan serving God with words on the back side commemorating the sacrament. The stone is orange howalite which I unfortunately can't find to use on future confirmation rosaries... I have tried for years to find more of this stone with no avail. All the Our Father medallions were hand made with polymer clay and hand twisted nickel wire then enameled. I hope all the "Joans" out there are being awesome warriors for Christ with much fortitude! St. Joan pray for us! Enjoy!!

Delicate and girlie!

First Communion bracelet that is adjustable so it will grow with the little girl - Enjoy!



A rosary bracelet that is adjustable to fit the wearer. I really liked the triangular shaped purple beads giving the piece a nice texture in both shape and coloring with sparkle and sheen. This piece looks very nice on the wrist... very settle. I enjoy doing wire work and dangles which this piece lends to both. Enjoy!

Spring Time celebrating Jesus

This first communion bracelet was made for a special little girl that I call my name-sake! Enjoy!




This Swarovski and Chinese Crystal rosary bracelet brought much joy to a little girl, wanting her priest to have something special to bless! The colors are amazing and just dance together. I hope she wears it offering up many prayers! Enjoy!

How Exciting to Receive Jesus for the first time!

It is First Communion Season as well - enjoy this rosary bracelet for 1st Communion!


I remember making this First Communion bracelet for a little girl who loved purple (my kinda girl!!). I loved the image of the Blessed Mother on the reserve side of the Body Blood and Divine of Christ. I pray this little girl still uses her rosary bracelet. The Hail Mary beads are fiber glass and the Our Father end beads are amethyst with a hand wired heart clasp. Enjoy!

The royal purple

Confirmation Rosary bracelet for a young woman initiated into the Catholic Faith, Enjoy!



Another one of my go-to-designs that have been tweaked and improved over the years. Here is the solution for a full rosary available at a moments notice since it sits on your wrist. Here we have used amethyst stones chained wired into five decades with a wired beaded bar leading into the Our Father beads. The sterling silver five way cross is one of my favorites.  I really enjoy this design and have referenced it often... including a variation for myself which won an international award in 2015. Enjoy!

Everyone loves the Kiss

The famous Hershey kiss - this painting is popular by request. AiA! Enjoy!


This painting of the Hershey Kiss was a wonderful challenge and I was pleased with the outcome. The funny story about this piece is that I had the 'kiss' on a black glass table and my family knew NOT to TOUCH the Kiss - since I was working on the drawing (eletronic painting). One day my little nephew stopped by for a visit - he has down syndrome - and promptly when over to the kiss... picked it up and proceeded to eat it! WE all sighed "NO don't touc.... touch it" Too late. I guess I was done with the drawing! Enjoy!

THINK SPRING!

End out the month of February with some spring time color tea bag charms - reminding me of Easter. Pretty pastel of pinks, purples and slight blues. Here I have created fringe again, this time with beads. The nickel wire work is also adorned with baby bugle beading. The faceted crystal really compliments the focal swirled glass bead. Definitely time for tea on the patio with this one! Enjoy!!

How fun is this?

Here's a fun one for Thursday! Fringey wire! The movement on this tea bag charm is, well, charming! Can't help but smile when looking at this one! Nickel wire work with warm browns and topaz colors brightened with a peanut pearl. The fringe at the bottom just 'topped' it off with character! Enjoy!!
