This pheonix is rising out of the ashes with many facetted amber pieces. It is about 4" from beak tip to tail tip, and 3 & 3/8" from wing tip to wing tip.
This mirror is only 2 & 1/4" tall and has a loop on the back so that it can be worn or hung on the wall. The frog's eyes are garnet and a row of very dark amethyst runs down it's back.
This mirror has two fish. The ecru one is encrusted with garnets and freshwater pearls. The second one has a lapis eye and various blue coloured glass beads. The starfish have a variety of glass beads. The largest one has an African jade centerpiece.
This tan & ecru dragon has African jade for eyes and a beautiful piece of tigereye quartz for a centerpiece in his wing. There are also some bronze glass beads along the back of his head.
I liked the first bronze dragon so much that I had to make him a twin sister. They both have garnet eyes with bronze freshwater pearls and glass beads.
I made this one for Hallie 'cause she wanted a red and purple dragon. It's got lapis eyes and turquoise howlite stones.

I chose the colours of this red and fuschia dragon to challange my comfort zone. I think that the turquoise beads really add zing. It's eyes are lapis.
This copper dragon has coloured freshwater pearls and copper coloured glass beads.
This dragon has tigereye quartz and freshwater pearls.

How about a little tree frog!
A close up of the third mirror.
This is mirror number three, done in a completely different style. It has a large amazonite bead, along with strands of pearls and a strand of aquamarine coloured crystals. Wish I knew what they are!
This is my second mirror. The flowers are also polymer clay. Hidden around the vines are amethyst chips.
This is my first mirror. It's done with faux ivory polymer clay and freshwater pearls.
