   Sharon Mercer

   Sharon makes some great jewellery from her home in Ingleton. She has been a keen bead jewellery maker for the last year after buying a beading magazine, from that day she was hooked on the hobby.

   After making a few jewellery projects from the magazine she was soon making and designing her own pieces. Sharon loves to use glass beads including lampwork and pearls in her work, but she always states that she is still very much learning and keen to try new technigues.

   In this piece of jewellery Sharon has used some of my light turquoise lentil beads and indeed as used them in a great way. I like the way she as matched the lentils with pearls and the silver starfish is stunning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   Su Mose

   After starting to make jewellery, Su discovered the colours and versatilty of lampwork beads. She loves playing with colours and makes some amazing pieces of bead jewellery.

   Su designs and makes her jewellery from her home in a small hamlet in the beautiful undiscovered countryside of North Essex. Sue uses lampwork beads, silver, crystals and gemstones in her work and loves making new fresh designs.

   In this piece Su has used one of my dark red hearts with pure silver effects on the surface along with matching spacer beads. Her belief is that the beads should work with the piece and not overwhelm it, to use the beads to contrast and complement.

   Kathie Henderson

   Kathie lives in Los Angeles in the USA and has been making her wonderful jewellery for the past two years now. Years ago Kathie used to make Rosaries for the missions, so when she started taking up jewellery making the fact she knew how to wire wrap helped her a great deal.

   In her work, Kathie likes to use only silver, which she uses alongside Swarovski Crystals, Gemstones and Pearls. But she also has a great love for lampwork beads and is lucky enough to live in a country that is full of very talented lampwork artists.

   In this piece you can see that Kathie is very fond of the more natural designs and in this case its a set of my sea pebbles along with some natural coloured spacer beads. All Kathies work seems to show those stunning colours only found in the sea and the mountains, they really are unique and I very much look forward to seeing her next pieces and I'm very happy that Kathie enjoys my beads when she as such a great selection there in the USA to pick from, thank you Kathie.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   Joy McCall

 

   Joy is fast becoming famous for her jewellery work around the coast of Norfolk, selling at a number of outlets. Her love for the Norfolk area and for the sea shows clearly in her work, with the use of so many wonderful natural colours and shapes.

   Joy makes her jewellery from her home that she shares with husband Andy in the Norfolk city of Norwich and her daughters Kate and Wendy always help give inspiration when needed. Joy's love for her family and those around her has grown so strong since she had a bad road accident five years ago. Since the accident Joy has took her jewellery making more serious and the memory of those long beach walks in the past gathering pebbles and shells plays a large part in her designs.

   She loves using lampwork beads in her work along with only the best silver findings and solid silver charms. In the piece shown Joy has used some of my transparent pebble beads which have been fully etched along with etched spacer beads and silver findings. Joy always seems to make very simple beads look really elegant but still retaining that wonderful natural feel to the piece.
