Our first two beaded items on this page were sent in by Shelly Berrow, AKA Beadmouse.
Walking in Shadows:
A 'dog-collar' style choker, 'Walking in Shadows' uses a number of different techniques, including peyote, RAW and netting. It features a central vintage glass cab, a glass marble captured by net and a smooth, black donut.  The choker is fastened at the back with a button closure covered with flat, circular peyote (closeup of fastner shown in 2nd photo).

Snow Queen:
The concept for this necklace came from memories of a favourite childhood fairy tale.  From remembering the story of the Snow Queen I began to imagine a cave filled with ice, with gem stones perhaps hidden within the depth of the snow.  This is the result. Made from various shades of white 11/o seed beads and random placements of blue, pink and lots of silver.  The twisted fringe reminds me of a frozen waterfall, caught as it cascades from the mouth of the cave.   The accent beads are high quality glass pearls.

This Lace Loop Necklace and anklet was beaded by Feith Hodge.
The piece pictured is my interpretation of the Lace Loop Necklace bead pattern , featured in the book Simple Lace and Other Beaded Jewelry Patterns by Mary Ellen Harte. This is a picture of a Necklace and Anklet, with the decorative addition of silver hearts. I hope you enjoy this one!

This version of the Favorite Necklace was created by beaderMarty Matthies.
I was looking at the site and found "My Favorite Necklace" I tried the pattern, I didn't have the beads that you suggested on the pattern. I used colors that will go with just about anything. I wanted to send you a picture of it, I made a pair of earrings to go with the necklace. I want to thank you for sharing the pattern of this piece. I love it.

This Water Lily Amulet Bag was made by Chris Philips.
I am attaching a scan of an Amulet Bag I just finished. You may remember that a couple of weeks ago, you'd done a link to my pattern of "Waterlily" on The Creative Spirit website. I've finished the bag now, and it is really lovely. I really love this pattern. The colors are just incredibly cool, but that's thanks to Frank Lloyd Wright's genius and the fact that Delica makes so many wonderful colors so that I could do a pretty good match job! A friend said that she's played with the pattern using purples and reds -- it's just as stunning in a really different way.
