Vintage-style Insect Art Pendant Collection

I enjoy making one-of-a-kind jewelry because it allows for my artistic expression and it gives me a break from my mommy duties. And yes, I have a soft spot for wire and colorful beads.


Lately, I found myself making more and more of these butterfly/moth/dragonfly pendants from coated wire and some of my leftover beads. I'm truly fascinated by the process of combining beads of various colors, textures, shapes that I can use for the insect's wings,head and body.

That's why, these days,once I start creating one "insect" for my butterfly/dragonfly collection, there seems to be NO stopping my hands from making another, and another.. :)
