Picture Jasper $10

The flecks of yellow and purple in these stones remind me of Mardi Gras. This unique stone is called "picture jasper".
In metaphysical circles, picture jasper is a stability gemstone. It is said to ease emotional stress. This stone is also believed to give one courage to speak out and have personal independence. It balances the emotional energies in the body.
Patriot Games-Sold

Here's a bracelet I created while I was on a patriotic kick. Actually, this is my first attempt at a charm bracelet. I went on to make several others for friends. This piece contains glass, ceramic, and chevron beads. The original has been sold, but if you are interested, I can make you a similar bracelet for $15 including shipping.

Moukite Earrings

Moukite Earrings $15
Last month I visited a local bead show and discovered a beautiful new stone called Moukite (sometimes spelled Mookite). The colors of this stone vary from margarine yellow to dark magenta red with variations of lemon and lavender in between. I was so impressed, I bought every piece on the table! This pair of earrings features two of those beautiful stones. There are a medium on the heaviness scale. I made myself a pair and wore them all day without any discomfort. You wouldn't believe how many compliments I got!
Heart You

This simple design features an unusual single heart bead suspended on a silver chain.
It is choker length.
