Introduction



Mystic Creations jewelry and lampwork beads has been my passion for about 12 years now. I started simply, stringing beads and these little pieces of light and illusion captured my fancy and my love. I enjoy both the discrete nature of each little bead as well as the swirling art that emerges from them. I taught myself from books, magazines and webpages how to weave and create with them and as I begin on my own design path, I want to capture and share the journey. 

     

My current designs are with teeny tiny 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads. I am working on leaves, teardrops, hearts, circles and triangles to create pendants, earrings and bib necklaces. My favorite weaves are peyote stitch and herringbone stitch. I am starting to experiment adding square stitch and mixing in some netting or chevron stitches. I especially love tubes and spirals for hanging pendants. Here are a few of the pieces I have been playing around with.
