Satsuma -- SOLD --


The colours of the metal flower beads reminded be of that of Body Shop's Satsuma, hence the name.

This one is a pretty piece. Vibrant and cheerful, it adorns the wrist with such delight. Gold toned rings of two sizes are interpersed between metal flower beads, flat cherry blossomed coloured glass flat discs, glass pearls and Swarovski crystals. All this being closed with a toggle clasp. Summer fun is here!

Floral Escapade S$15


A simple bracelet whose focal point is very obviously the metal flower that dangles from the middle. The chain is linked with rondelles that match the pretty shade of pinkish-purple of the flower.

Floral fun yet not too extravagant.

Harvest -- SOLD --


Glass beads are mixed with plastic ones and topped with metal filagree to form this pair of earrings. Time for fruits... the harvest from the garden.

Lily S$18

A quick one... Have a few ideas floating around in my head but have got no time to work on them. This pair of earrings dangles from the ear in light gold. Hand twisted wires hang from the hook to link up with a metal filagree... from which dangles glass pearls.

Quite the necessary item for the chinois wardrobe don't you think?

** Garden Fantasies **

It is beginning to look like Spring has come to the Bead Haven. One glance at the current bead collection I have waiting to be put together and it is certain that the next range after Metamorphosis is going to be Garden Fantasies.

Garden Fantasies is going to be all things flowery... with a touch of modernism of course. Feminine yet wearable. The first roll outs are Lavender Rose and Butterfly Garden. Enjoy. More are going to come over the next few days.

Butterfly Garden S$28

I was looking at the new beads I got and dreamed this up. Unfortunately I never had the time to sit down and finish it all. Thankfully though, there was finally some time today so Butterfly Garden can be created.

Made of two different chains, glass butterflies and beads it ends with a toggle clasp at the back. Dress up your top... just so.

Lavender Rose -- UNAVAILABLE --

Its a few more days to Mother's Day 2006 and as we are preparing for the celebrations, I did a simple piece that exudes grace. The lavender colours dance about the neck as the glass beads are paired with glass pearls and Swarovski crystals. What catches the eye is the clay rose hanging down the middle. Simple and beautiful.

Beauty in Jade $28


Almost done with working this piece out but just could not wait till tomorrow to show it to the world. I still need to end it but just because it has not been sealed I might make small adjustments to it.

Its made of Jade shanks, metal filagree and spacers, glass pearls and black beads with a couple of black agate beads.

Fruitti Tutti -- SOLD --


While doing this piece a lot of thoughts came through my mind. The colours reminded me of Christmas with Poinsettas, they also reminded me of cherries... Its a delightful mix of Czech glass leaves with two different shades of Swarovski crystals dispersed randomly between.
They all come together to lend a cheery, festive and somewhat autumn feel to this bracelet.

Toggle clasp in a slight contrast silver.

re-release...

Thanks to many of you friends, visitors who have dropped by the site. Thanks too for the support. I have re-released some of the pieces previously marked as reserved because of a no-show. So if you have had your eye on something previously unattainable, now might be a good time to get it.

Have been toying between three main themes (Cloisonne Chinese Chic, Fishing for Compliments and Metamorphosis). If you have any special requests in terms of design and all, feel free to contact me. It is always a challenge and fun, to make something specially requested.
Happy Shopping!

P/s : If you happen to be that someone who reserved those items and would like them still, kindly contact me at littlemissbeadalot@gmail.com and we'll take it from there.

Aquamarine Life -- SOLD --


Black agate rectangular slabs are paired with glass beads to form the main chain. By the side, a single butterfly filagree dangles from a silver chain. All held together on your wrist by a toggle clasp.

Let it hang from your wrist... the butterfly flitting with every movement.

Fishing -- SOLD --

Glass beads dominate this necklace.... from the glass fish that dangles from the drop to the rectangular purple squares that hang on the other chain. Glass pearls are paired with the squares and even a random healthy dose of Swarovski crystals to create this delightful design.

Time to go fishing... for compliments!

Chinois Fantasy -- SOLD --


Whee... I was peering into the beadbox, dreaming of some exotic, different way to use the Cloisonne beads when this necklace came about. 4 cloisonne beads sit among glass beads with an accompanying large butterfly from which dangles yet more glass beads.

Rather charming, electic and different won't you say?

See below for close ups of the beads and the butterfly.

Mobility S$5


When I first started out beading, I did such stuff... Small intricate items that were largely ornamental. Yet I never got down to attaching them to accessories to form useable items.

I finally did last night. And there you have it... a mobile strap. Something subtle that even the guys would not mind having it.

Made out of Swarovski crystals. Customised colours may be requested.

Bolly Holly -- SOLD --


I had fun with this piece...! The colours are princessy, full of shades of pink Swarovski crystals. And when paired with rhodium plated filaments, it blends to a unique piece just to hang from your ear.

Golden Hues S$12


Butterflies dance with golden brown leaves in this autumn / fall inspired piece. All dangle freely from the ear by the chains that hold them together.

One last dance before the coldness of winter sets in...

Pearlised Dreams -- SOLD --


Glass pearls and metal chains hang from the intricate heart. Dangling earrings with a slight shoulder drop to tease. Its another piece of grace as the chains sway with your movement.

Chinese Garden -- gifted --


Flowers with slight gold embellishments circle this piece while glass pearls hang from beneath.

Gentle grace... feminine charm... chinese roots.

Purple Showers -- SOLD --

I admit. I am into dangling chains adorned with beads. For this piece, a decorated bead attracts attention and is teamed off with Swaorvski crystals in close hues. Some chinois fun.

Royalty -- revised --


I had this idea running through my mind for the longest time. A double chained necklace that is not chunky but sweet and delicate.

Takes a lot of work and the May Day holiday was just right to finish it up.

A single rhodium plated butterfly with 2 crystal embellishments sits at the right side of the necklace, surrounded by chains of amtheyst coloured beads and Swarovski crystals.

Dreams of royalty. For the royally made lady perhaps? Ask to see more pictures if interested.
