Purple Lacy Tube
Purple is one of those colors that you just have to love. It makes you
feel good to look at it, and that's how I feel when I wear this necklace. This Lacy tube is made with lavendar art wire (plastic
coated copper wire). It boasts handmade sterling silver terminations and clasp. The large hollow bead is made with soft Italian
glass and various enamels. Hollow beads are so fun to make, and swirling it around in a bunch of enamels is a lot like fingerpainting.
Only way hotter! LOL! All lampwork beads are properly annealed using Brian Kirkvliet's recommended program.

Green Lacy Tube
Sometimes in the afternoon a flock of green parrots comes to visit in my
backyard. I love to hear them bickering and squacking among themselves - it's the sound of life in the tropics. Okay - so
it's just south Florida - but this necklace makes me feel like I'm wearing a little bit of jungle.
This Lacy Tube Necklace is made with green art wire (plastic coated
copper wire) and 10/0 seed beads. The handmade terminations and clasp are sterling silver. The large stone is a ParrotWing
Chrysocolla. The small bumpy stone is a drusy uvavorite.

Blue and Yellow Lacy Tube
This Lacy Tube necklace
showcases one of my big hollow beads with lots of enamels. I love making hollow beads! The seed beads are 11/0 on this one,
allowing more of the art wire show thru. Don't you love the lacy look? The seed beads accentuate the spiraling effect of the
technique.
