I first saw Olga Romanenko’s gorgeous seed bead work in her blog post at Land of Bead Fantasies about this glorious necklace called Wood Nymph:

ChezChani is the mother/daughter team of Roz and Elayne, based in Las Vegas, NV. Elayne picked up her first seed bead in the summer of 2007 and hasn’t put them down since. Hopefully addicted to Peyote Stitch, she’s just made something of brick stitch and square stitch for the first time. When she branches out, she doesn’t go very far.
Above is Elayne’s Burberry inspired bracelet, and below are a black and white freeform bracelet and from her statement jewelry collection, the gay rainbow ring.

Always drawn to bold and opulent visual imagery, Peggy Sturman calls upon her background in art history and floral design to create the lush organic forms and interplay of color and light found in her M. Sturman Jewellery collection.
Her design process begins by discovering the unique personality within a palette of semi-precious stones, pearls, glass and vintage beads. Guided by the colors, shapes, and textures of the beads, Peggy painstakingly designs, hand weaves, or crochets each one-of-a-kind piece in her New York City studio.
