FOSSIL PENDANT Inscribed with the scrimshaw work of an ancient Pacific Northwest native fisherman, a 3" piece of fossil walrus ivory is featured in this imposing necklace. Vintage glass cube beads are stitched around rubber O rings wired together into a totemic statement. Measures 8" by 5".	TRIBAL HORN PENDANT My own original polymer beads create a very talismanic look in this pendant, wired with rubber O rings and stitched with glass cubes beads and Swarovski crystals. The clasp is another O ring with a polymer bead closure on a vintage chain.	CRYSTAL FOSSIL PENDANT Hanging from an ancient piece of walrus ivory, the beadwork in this pendant features unique, square Japanese tila beads, and crystals that are faceted in an interesting asymmetry. Rubber O rings are my signature again.
MODERN MEDIEVAL CUFF New beads in a new design! Fresh from Japan, Miyuki 5x5mm Tila beads form a right-angle-weave lattice foundation for coppery freshwater pearls, glass rounds, and bone focal beads. A powerful rhodium-plated magnetic clasp makes this a mighty wearable cuff, easy to put on and stay on. About 1.5" wide x 6.75" long when closed. SOLD one! Orders taken. $450.	BLUE HERRINGBONE CUFF Edged with shimmering Tila beads, this herringbone cuff also glows with Japanese glass cylinder beads in shades of aqua. Small bead-covered magnetic clasp makes an elegant closure. Just shy of 1" wide by about 6.5" long when worn. SOLD! Variations coming this summer.	Steampunk Key Pendant Fast for pros and perfect for beginners, this peyote stitched bail uses size 8 Delica cylinders and a variety of cool embellishment beads for the edging. Loop a key or other treasure. Tutorials only now for sale! Visit Sleepless Beader on Etsy.
GREEN CIRCLES COLLAR One thing lead to another when I began to make circular brick-stitched medallions, and I haven't stopped making them since! For this piece I made a ton in many sizes, then played with them, rearranging and switching them around until I came to this asymmetrical design. The sterling hook and eye clasp has spirals, mirroring the effect of the beadwork. Largest circle=2.2" diameter. Inner length when worn about 16". Workshops for this project are fun! Email me for details. leslierogalski@gmail.com	DIAMOND BAIL O-RING PENDANT Oh, those rubber O-rings! I can't get enough. In this pendant, Japanese cube and seed beads connect one ring within the other, enhanced by peyote-stitched bands. The diamond-shaped brick-stitched bail can slip easily onto a cord of your choice, but it seemed perfect to put this on a rubber cord to match the O-rings. Pendant is about 2.75" in length	CIRCLE BRICK CUFF More circular brick-stitched medallions, this time in a balanced design. Matte glass beads have a subtle luster that contrasts nicely with the glass seed beads. I had to add to the sterling toggle clasp with more circular brick stitch--that round shape always lures me in. About 6.5".
BLACK AND GOLD COLLAR Feel like Nefertiti today? Inspired by the style of ancient Egypt, this netting-stitched black and gold collar of seed beads measures 14" on the inner circumference, laying around your neck as fluid and regal as the Nile.	MOD BEAD AND LUCITE CUFF At the risk of repeating myself . . . I like making lots of elements and then playing with their arrangement. Here cubic RAW rectangles are strung with purple Lucite beads, wired together through industrial rubber tubing. The wire hook-an-eye clasp is my own design.	STEAMPUNK HERRINGBONE CUFF Steampunk is a genre of film, literature and now fashion, somewhere between H.G. Wells and turn of the century military and industrial innovation. So, here's my spin on a use of watch parts, metal gizmos and of course, more O-rings. The 3/4" wide beadwork cuff is herringbone with large Japanese cylinder beads. A snap closure measures at about 7".
	FILIGREE PEYOTE CUFF In a departure from my usual graphic style, I found these filigree components a playground for embellishment. Using crystals, freshwater pearls and seed beads, I stitched all over the filigree and used them to dress up a peyote cuff of large Japanese cylinder beads. The clasp is a high powered, rhodium-plated magnet, which I covered with beadwork. Closes to about 6.5".	COMET ANEMONE CUFF Bling, bling! Silvery and metallic, comet argent crystal tips are dramatic against matte black, Japanese seed bead fringes. The dazzle is delicious. A lush cuff measuring about 6.5" with a sterling toggle clasp.
