This is the best picture I have of this necklace. I made it with gold jeweled spacers, garnet beads and gold tubes with a medium size painted glass bead. I used several different colored jeweled spacer beads. Feel free to leave any comments or suggestions, I appreciate them all. Thank you and have a great day!

The picture of this necklace does not do it justice. The dark small beads that look black are actually garnet beads and they are beautiful in person. This is one creation that I made when I had just started beading about 5 months ago. I feel that I have improved since then. Thank you for looking. Have a great day!

A quick creation I made one night while playing around with some of my beads trying to come up with something. This is what I came up with. Again, using some of my favorite colors. I would love to hear what you think of my designs. any thoughts or comments would be appreciated. Thank you for looking at my creations today. Have a great day!

Another gothic creation. I really enjoy working with these colors and find that when I do that is when my creative juices flow the most. I don't like making girly jewelry, it's just not me. I try to keep my designs original and fresh. The more I make, the better my designs seem to be. I hope you enjoy this bracelet as much as I like designing it.

Another creation with my favorite colors. Another idea that just came to me. I don't use patterns from books or from anyone else as I like to keep my creations as original as possible. I try to keep my designs simple, but eye catching. I also try to use the best beads that I can find and that I can afford. I have been beading for about 5 months now and I am really enjoying it very much. I don't bead daily because I only bead when I get an idea for a new creation. I hope you enjoy this creation.

Starrs of Midnight

These are some of my favorite colors to work with. I tend to enjoy working with blacks and garnets and ruby and siam the most. This necklace is long, but it can also be used as a Lariat if so desired. When I made it, I had a gothic style in mind. The picture doesn't do it justice, the garnet stones really shine in the light and almost look blood like in color. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed making it.
