Announcement    Welcome to Beadtime Stories Jewelry, my Etsy shop featuring my one-of-a-kind necklaces, earrings, etc.
Because my pieces often feature components from a stash I have been accumulating for years, most of them cannot be duplicated exactly, but I will be happy to talk to you about a custom order. Please be aware, however, that many of the items take weeks or even months to complete.
Most of my necklaces are made to my personal dimensions. I am a large woman so necklaces tend to slip over the head or be considerably longer than choker length. On some the length can be adjusted. The scale of my work, especially bead embroidery and pictorial peyote, could be better described as bold than dainty.
I love bright colors and seldom work in neutrals because color is the eye-candy for me, the lure to play with beads, yarn, clay, or paints. 7 of my beaded pieces were featured in Margie Deebs best selling bead book, The Beader's Color Palette.
I was a finalist in the first Swarovski Create Your Style contest and my crystal collar was featured in their publication.
I have written and designed a bead book of fairy tale patterns, also called BEADTIME STORIES. My influences are folk, ethnic, tribal (especially Native American), and historical stories and designs. Please see my website, eascarborough.com, for more examples of my beadwork, information about my novels, e-books, and pictures of my cats!
I am pleased to say that I am now a proud member of the Etsy BeadWeavers Team. Search EBW TEAM for more beautiful beadwoven creations or visit our blog for links to all members’ shops: http://www.etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com
