Here's the place to see alot of big glitzy/floral collage jewelry made by B'sue. Most of these pieces were made between 1997 and 2003, and almost all of them were sold long ago. Some were custom projects, which I no longer take on. BUT! I'm happy to help YOU in YOUR creative journeys. We sell the components to make alot of this sort of work, and collage jewelry is my personal forte. Check our site at http://www.bsueboutiques.com for components to make fabulous collage designs...bases, findings, large leaf and flower findings, filigree to manipulate and to wire in the old cagework style. Have questions? Write me at bsue1441@aol.com and please send me the item number and the gallery name so I can come and have a look for you.

I have just discovered your website via watching your highly informative and fun YouTube videos and now that I've jumped on over here...it's official! I'm never leaving! You have sooooo many wonderful items that I have been looking EVERYWHERE for and can I tell you? Your prices are awesome!! Thanks for being here and I can't wait to get lots of pennies in my pockets so I can buy AT LEAST one of everything :-)! - Renee M, Sun, 8 Jan 2012 6:21AM
OMG! I love your website and have watched almost every video you have on Utube! You are such an inspiration and I have already learned so much from you. Thank you for caring about your customers enough to give us quality supplies as well as the knowledge you share so we can create beautiful jewelry pieces for ourselves and gifts for others. I want to create the blue butterfly collage necklace and would love to have the list of supplies needed for this project. I have been looking for it on Utube, but have not seen it. Keep up the great work. - Sandy, Mon, 14 Nov 2011 1:06PM
I Love your site and shop. I now look at your shop daily trying to decide how to incorp. my beads with some of the items in your shop. The Possibilities are endless. - Kristy Le, Sun, 22 May 2011 7:59AM
1 This bib is made from lost earrings and old enamels, along with some other stray vintage memorabilia. It's special as it was a unique project that I did for Lark Books and was featured in Fabulous Jewelry from Found Objects. It is 20 inches around the neck, built in the front on rolo chain, with good old fancy Venetian beads at the back. I love the texture of the toggle I used. Four inch drop in the front, and on the left side is wired in an assymetrical focal with a sunface. All the findings are brass ox; the toggle, the chain and matching jumps can be found on my website at http://www.bsueboutiques.com. Don't have any stray dangly earrings? No worries! You could construct the dangles from brass discs, findings, found items, and things you have added patina/color to! Honestly, I should do this project again using the colorized acrylic/resin flower pieces. Wouldn't that be a hoot? "Absolutely gorgeous. You should do ..." View Comments...
2 This is something anyone can do. I saved doo-dads for a long time....lapel watches, cracker jack type charms, glass and plastic fruit, figural buttons, wooden danglies....you name it. I combined these things with glass hearts, stampings and charms from my supply line and I put them rolo chain.This one goes maybe 20-22 inches around the neck and makes quite a statement. I can't wait to make another!
3 An old favorite style with a twist. I used alot of peridot and burnt orange lampwork beads, copper ox findings and Czech tiny cabs...but the eardrops are two part chandeliers, reticulated....I used three d roses upside down as bead caps. "Oh My But, I totally love this style..." "Just curious - what dos the BACK of ..." View Comments...
4 These are special wrap mounts that I had made, and filled with random pieces of luminous paua shell. I put some random items in the mix, too...a zebra style sectional, some red horn beads, a little wire work in heavy gf wire on the pendant, and it hooks front, off to the side, with a toggle. I have to say....I love making the big glitz stuff...but this is my personal look. I rejoice in the unexpected. "3am I'm still looking at the site, a..." View Comments...
5 I love music...do you? This is a cherry red explosion of Czech beads and many dangling music charms. Cool matching chandelier style earrings. "This is about the cutest thing I've ..." View Comments...
6 I had alot of fun with this. A new bunch of stampings came in (need some cool ones? Check out my website at http://www.bsueboutiques.com) and I felt like playing. I put the geisha on top of a mismatched nineteen hole centerpiece and I dangled an awesome old deco single pave earring bottom in the middle...filled in with little lucite hearts and caged pearls, and tiny cast drops...a few other interesting items of vintage tchoch that seemed to fit. This one just makes me smile, somehow...it's big (about 3.25 inches across) and bijangly!
7 This is a Cha-Cha bracelet, and it's FULL of roselin Czech 20mm glass pate flowers, trumpet flowers and Swarovski rhinestones. Have you ever made one of these? This one took me about two hours to finish, because there are so many little aglets to fill. It was a lot of fun! Need cha-cha bracelet findings? I have nice ones that fit most wrists (when they came out with them again they were very OUCHY-PINCHY.....mine aren't)and you will find them on my site at http://www.bsueboutiques.com "Yummy! Love the colors and will hav..." View Comments...
10 A confectionary bracelet in pinks...I just love it. This style has to be pieced and worked, they are a little slow-going but so pretty when finished, worth the time. A mix of Czech buttons and beautiful lamp beads.

12 Fabulous worked style of large clock pendants in copper ox, rare Czech glass buttons and charms. This thing was just such a bijangly treat, it hung down about two inches over the wrist....I should have kept it!

14 The backs of my work are finished, clean, sealed brass, nowadays usually plated. Some of the filagrees have an opposing filagree wired to the back, if not wired then securely glued in place. This one had to sit up to fit right, so there is not a full filagree but a smaller dapt one to help it to do that. I am meticulous about glue and make sure glue is not visible on the fronts OR backs if I have indeed used glue in the piece. All of the metal in this piece is rich goldplate.
