Lizzie Love will now be de-stashing supplies at the etsy shop





In an effort to destash, I will now be selling supplies on lizzielove as well. I usually purchase large quantities of beads, so once I’ve used the amount needed for a particular project, I’m often ready to release them. (Especially since I’ve never made the same piece twice!) So now you can enjoy usable quantities of beads at low prices, and just like my jewelry, I’ll ship the beads as reasonably as possible. Look for glass and crystal beads in all shapes and sizes, including millefiori and Swarovski; gemstones and pearls; and some unique wood and metal beads.

Game Day


Mario Galaxy on the Wii, Battleship, Diego Memory Game, and now Dominoes. Along with a little maintenance on the etsy website, this has been my morning. Glorious. I love it! Of course I have to force myself not to clean or create, but its freeing not to do it! The little one is walking around with pajamas and no undies or diaper, so I keep getting crack shots of the sweetie. Just one more cup of coffee and I'll have to figure out a plan for the day. 11:00 am, this is pretty good. Though with it being 11 degrees, do we really want to plan something out of the house?

Love is in the air!

Love is a Path. This is a spiral rope weave bracelet where I've used a hot pink mix of matte seed beads for the core, and spiraled shiny black beads around that. Three sterling silver "heart"y charms adorn the bracelet. Click into my shop to see the all-bead closure.

Bridal Pieces



Here is the bridesmaid necklace for an April wedding. The dresses are a gorgeous, light shade of turquoise, that proved a little difficult to match!








This bracelet I've created as a gift for the bride (something new!) who also happens to be my beautiful niece.

New Line


I've finally introduced my new line of jewelry called "Painted Lady." I'm loving this line, as I can focus on my art obsession and create jewelry at the same time. Each piece in this line is based on either a painting or the overall style of a painter. I've listed pieces based on Klimt, Monet, Degas, and Van Gogh so far. Still in the design phase are Georgia O'Keeffe, Chagall, and Kandinksy. Many more will follow!

"For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one as
beautiful as you."

Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)
