Recently updated!   I've been active making jewelry again, and have so many photos to share.  Pix at the beginning of the album are more recent work 2010 to current.    Most of the older, big, over the top 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.
