What would the world of beads be without books full of lush and lovely patterns and ideas? After an author creates the pattern, she's in need of 'elves' or 'angels' to work them up to be photographed for their book.
I've been lucky enough to be asked to help several authors. These are some of the pieces that I did for them, in no particular order.
Also, see my State Fair Winners page for two more pieces.

The pattern for this beautiful rose necklace can be found in Charley Hughes' first book, 'Beadin' with Beady Boop.' She even named it for me. What a sweetie...
You can find the pattern for this prettier than pretty daffodil necklace in Valerie Hixon's second book, 'Bloomin' Beads.' I always get compliments whenever I wear this. The earrings are a repeat of the neckstrap...
More pretties from Charley's book, there's a matching necklace too...
This deco bracelet matches the chatelaine that I made for Suzanne Cooper's book 'Then & Again'
You can see the chatelaine on the State Fair Winner's page...
Was it Bette Davis that made famous the line, "The calla lilies are in bloom..." NOPE! It was Kathrine Hepburn in "Stage Door" Thanks to Shelley (StampnBead) for the correction...
Suzanne Cooper has another hit on her hands with 'Adorn Thyself.'
