Fireworks Romantique - This crystallized sculpture is suitable for the top of a celebratory confection or as part of a glittering centerpiece - it symbolizes the excitement of love with the continuous cascades of romance. An endless open circle of the enduring celebration is surrounded by pyrotechnic like burst of silver-plated crystallized elements with vintage Swarovski® drops and navettes as well as brilliant cut chatons. On the waterfall-like cascades are glass pearls and varying lengths to symbolize the ebb and tide of the romance for living. The piece is surrounded by large CRYSTALLIZED™ - Swarovski hearts to remember the love that radiates and supports all of our lives and rest on a base of a languid pool of assorted aurora borealis, crystal flatbacks and faceted cubes. Hopefully this piece will remind all who experience it to remember that in the middle of sometimes very troubled world grows a tree of sparkling brilliance and fun!

The Faerie Queen's Jewels - When developing a new design, I like to think outside the box. This is especially true of my bridal accessories. Passionate about nature and exotic cultures, I believe that love transcends all boundaries. My inspirations have emerged anywhere from the Pacific Northwest's rugged surf to the afterglow of a sunset in the middle of the Sahara desert.

When I hold CRYSTALLIZED™ - Swarovski Elements, my hands tremble with a creative excitement as they are eager to unite the various shapes to fashon a totally new and unique design. I marvel as the dancing light of the crystal plays with color and reflects across the room and into my imagination. Closing my eyes to their luminous winks, I hear whispers of inspiration and my mind's eye immediately envisions an endless array of nuptial ornament. CRYSTALLIZED™ - Swarovski Elements rouse the romantic in me like nothing else out there!

Cooling Sunrise - This fan is handmade on the silk painting. The concept is from the "Prada Bali" pattern, which was modified and explored to get the totally new design. Cooling is referring to the function of the fan itself, while "Sunrise" is referring to the "Prada Bali" pattern and the combination of flower and sun. The CRYSTALLIZED™ - Swarovski Elements give it the luxurious and elegant look.
