		Bead Embellished Buttons Make your own fabric and seed bead buttons with circular peyote stitch. A Beadwork challenge project.
	Celestial Sparkle I wear this glass and crystal necklace with the large silver toggle clasp in the front. This design was the result of a personal challenge: if you can only afford one tiny strand of beautiful boro beads, what can you do with them? Everyone told me I had to make a bracelet since I had so few of these special beads, but I really wanted a necklace!
		Dear Diary Create a unique focal piece by stringing several keys on a large jump ring.
		Dragonfly Pin This mixed-media pin requires a trip to the scrapbooking section of the craft store. A Beadwork challenge project.
	Flower Girl Barrette Embellish a peyote stitch trip with layers of pastel flowers. A Beadwork challenge project.
		Girl Power Trio Three sets of earrings made with a single set of pink and khaki lampworked beads. I was delighted with how differently each pair turned out.
		Gone Fishin' with Miro A silver wireworked bracelet with an orange and blue color palette. These beads were from a Beadwork challenge kit. I certainly was challenged by the colors!
	Jane of the Jungle A peyote stitch bracelet pattern with shades of green against a black background. A Beadwork challenge project.
		Lazy-B-Ranch Bracelet There's a secret to these ladder-stitched beaded beads. A Beadwork challenge project.
		Love Birds Necklace Use daisy chain to decorate pearls and then string together a necklace with simple wirework techniques. I created the pendant by layering several pieces together with ribbon and stitching it together. A Beadwork challenge project.
		Purple Zig Zags Play with coils and inexpensive craft wire to make these quick, fun earrings. You can use a special coiling tool or you can be like me and just find a knitting needle or crochet hook that's the right size and use that to wrap your wire. Featured in an advertisement in the first issue of Easy Wire.
		Rambling Rose A chain maille and strung necklace with garnets and silver. I love this necklace for the holidays. A Beadwork challenge project.
	Sari Sunrise On a limited budget? Make this 3-strand necklace for under $25! I had such a good time making an "under $25" necklace for Stringing that I challenged myself to do it a second time. This is the result.
		She Bop Bold clip-on statement earrings that are sure to get you noticed! I made this in response to an article in Stringing that mentioned how large earrings were the perfect accessory for a bare neckline.
		Sorbet in August Combine bright lampworked beads, lava rock rounds, and moukite for a casual design that's easy to wear. This pattern was originally published in Stringing and is part of a free eBook.
		Spiraling Out of Control Easy copper chain necklace with a mix of wirework techniques: simple loops, wrapped loops, spirals, and coils. Featured in an advertisement in the first issue of Easy Wire.
		Sunshine Day features several colors from Pantone's Spring 2012 color palette: Tangerine Tango, Solar Power, Starfish, and Driftwood. A photo and description of this necklace originally appeared in Stringing Spring 2012.
