This necklace was fun and very easy to make - new Twist beads and 2 new colors of teardrops

Sterling multi-chain bracelet incorporating Unicorne's new Fiore bead - simply juicy!

My 'signature' design - Oh So Gorgeous - in a delightfully graceful color combination to coordinate with the new White Gold yo-yo. I call this combination "Grace".

Unicorne sample - another picture of OSG-Grace but on a white background

Unicorne sample of the Nobilis pendant - I used those 'messy' wraps on the chain portion - can't decide what I think of that style ...

Unicorne Sample using large Nobilis bead and yo-yos attached with chain

Yo-yo beads can be used in various ways in your designs - this sample was made with double strand stringing, sterling silver and vermeille spacers and beads.

Same silver and gold bracelet with White Gold yo-yo beads, but photographed on a dark background for a different effect.

Photos really don't do this piece justice. The entire thing is gorgeous ... from the fabulous double-strand of doubled chain to the amazing color of the 3 sizes of coin beads ... even the coin sterling beads are great!

Weighty but open and light ... this is certainly a recent favourite of mine!

Incredible color using Unicorne small cones and teardrops.

This is a great bracelet with metallic teardrops and Peacock Blue Ruffle buttons strung on fabulous ribbon and held together with twisted sterling large-hole spacers. Comfy to wear too!

Had huge fun making this lariat - it was my first project using the Kumihimo weaving technique and beads

This piece incorporates the new La Brique bead in 'Passionfruity' and Grande Canyon teardrops on multi-colored cord

Not a new 'design' per se, but totally new colors of teardrops - Electric Dandilion and Glistening Scarlett. I call it Cherry Lemonade

Every color of Florin bead and heaps of different crystal colors all dangle from fabulous chain. Loads of movement ... and a little outside my norm, so fun to make too!

WOW ... what a fun bead to play with. This piece was made as a sample for Unicorne using their new large domed yo-yo with some chunky copper chain.

Creamsicle Whimsy is the name of this fabulously fun and light necklace using the new Autumn Mist Ruffle Button bead, Tangerine teardrops, various colors of crystals, a few copper beads and a hand-forged clasp - one of my favourite new pieces

I just love these Cactus beads - in this sample, I embellished them with Swarovski crystals - what fun!

Heaps of ideas and assistance from the multi-talented Lynn McKee Ruck in putting this piece together. She's amazing!

Close up of the pendant portion of Dangles in Violet - which incorporates both the large and small domed yo-yos with Wire Lace.

I adore these chocolate lava stones ... and they're a super compliment to Unicorne's new large and small domed yo-yos in a basic, strung necklace with side closure.

I added little violet butterflies to dance around Unicorne's double raindrop bead.

Electric Dragon necklace uses some of my favourite black onyx beads from my personal stash - huge contrast with the Cosmic Sun La Brique bead and Electric Dandilion teardrops

Pick a Posie necklace uses the new Wisteria Ruffle Button, Nocturnelle metallic teardrops combined with Petal Pink teardrops, all on a delicate purple cord - casual and fun.

Purple Effervenscence - bubbles all over using the new Unicorne Large Domed yo-yo beads ... and some small ones too with a new color of teardrops; doubled sterling chain adds great movement and fun.

You can almost see all of the Purple Effervenscence sample here ... not quite, but almost.

Ever since I first saw these large, irregular arrowhead beads, I've wanted to make this kind of earring with them. They're big, but I just love 'em!

Absolutely delicious color.

Another challenge in photography - this lariat uses Unicorne's new cylinder beads and some gorgeous red teardrops with 2 fine chains. One of the chains 'floats' up and down rings connected to the other chain. Fun and quite different!

This new color of teardrop reminds me of frothing sea foam - here I've picked up the black in the shell beads with Onyx complimentary beads and open circles and tucked those little 'froths' inside.

Very simple earrings to coordinate with the Sea Froth necklace - sterling leverbacks and jet Swarovski crystals.
