(Click above for the full reviews.)
Inverted and Hourglass Mandrels were recently added as Accessories to the original Conetastic™ concept, clever additions that allow the tool to work even harder for you.

Video Instruction
Bend it, twist it, shape it, wear it. In my latest episode from the Beads, Baubles and Jewels Television show, watch as I warm-up by bending and shaping sheet metal using Conetastic™. The design is then enhanced with patterns, texture and color. View segments of this latest video and a sampling of others on my Video page.
Design
Lush Garden Necklaces display a palette of colors, textures, and shapes using vintage or contemporary themes.
View several of my other original creations on my design page and in the Gallery of Designs on the Fire Mountain Gems and Beads website.

Swarovski Projects for You
“These feminine, shoulder-skimming earrings create an optical illusion that elongates the neck. The ombré crystal beads graduate from intense cobalt and shimmering sapphire to gleaming gold and sparkling iridescence.” - Swarovski Click to view and download the project.
“This gloriously regal brooch, with its stunning Cabochon swan cameo, has a retro feel that reprises all the glamour of a 19th-century salon.” - Swarovski Click to view and download the project.
