Unique handmade beaded jewelry
Bumble’s Baubles is the home for my jewelry and accessories. I have been creating these baubles since I was a teenager, have won awards for my jewelry work and have taught my techniques. I like to refer to the type of jewelry I make as beads on a wire. I create bracelets, bookmarks, necklaces and keychains, along with many other accessories. I also appreciate fabricating custom pieces whenever I can. I have success selling my jewelry and want to share that with a wider audience. Through word of mouth, Facebook and a couple of shops, my business has really taken off.
Welcome to my dream.
My creations reflect various styles:
- My work utilizes stones, glass, metals, woods, polymer clay and resin/acrylic beads.
- I string my pieces on sturdy nylon-coated wire (a.k.a., tiger tail), elastic cord, waxed linen or artificial sinew.
- I use hypoallergenic findings for my earrings, and my clasps are nickel free.
- When I make elastic bracelets, I use a crimp bead instead of a knot and glue because I find it stronger.
- The customer's preference and trending styles are the foundation of my work.

The name, Bumble’s Baubles, originated after we adopted an all-white kitten that we named Bumble (after the abominable snow monster from the holiday TV show, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer). I named my business after him, because he came to mean so much to me. Bumble was a very special cat, ruling over the other cats and stealing my heart even from beyond the Rainbow Bridge.
