Laura is an instructor and sells her jewelry at The Bead Lounge in Longmont, Colorado. Every year they host a Day Of The Dead Celebration and gallery competition. Here’s a look at the beaded entries by Laura this year. Paper roses and a bony skull testify to ephemeral life’s beauty!
The jaunty gent features a glass skull made by MAD Margie. Lots of little beads–and a feather in his hat– went into the creation of this wearable art twosome.

Day of the Dead Necklace 2, originally uploaded by landsglory.
Laura started with colorful vintage ceramic beads and added carved bone skull beads and precious metal clay (PMC) to create this vivid necklace for the Day of the Dead celebration. It’s her second entry in the competition at Nomad Designs, a bead store located in Boulder Colorado.
The large carved bone skull has a PMC hood or niche festooned with stars and her trademark colorful patina makaes the fine silver shine with color.
The smaller skull beads are nestled in their own PMC settings and makeup the bottom of the beaded tassel. Laura links it all together with patinated wire.

This necklace is titled “I won’t go out without my hat”, and it is made with beads of Czech glass and cow bone as well as a Precious Metal Clay pendant. The pendant features a skull with jaunty feathered hat and bowtie, and ruby eyes. Cubic Zirconia add even more sparkle to the mix, and the patina on the fine silver metal pendant gives a rainbow of colors.
This is one of two necklaces that Laura has made for the “Day of the Dead” contest at Nomad Designs in Boulder Colorado.

amphora1, originally uploaded by landsglory.
This delicate amphora shaped pendant LOOKS like an antique thats been salvaged from some ancient undersea wreckage, but it is a modern marvel instead. Laura uses PMC (precious metal clay) to create pendants, pins, and beads. This clay is made of reclaimed silver suspended in a modeling material that is fired away after shaping, leaving fine silver.
Laura then uses special chemicals to create patinas that mimic age and weathering to give an antiqued look, or to bring out vivid blues, greens, and purples in the silver.

Quilt Block polymer copper bracelet, originally uploaded by landsglory.
Laura’s used polymer clay quilt block squares in the Log Cabin Pattern (made by Judith Skinner) along with copper wire and Swarovski crystals to create a contemporary, colorful charmer of a bracelet.
This and several other pieces were featured in an article in Belle Armoire magazine this summer, and in the book “Adapting Quilt Patterns To Polymer Clay” by Judith Skinner and Sarajane Helm.
