Here's "Purple Reign" a woven wire bracelet by Ginny Headley, a jeweler with a cool sensibility, and the designer behind ETSY shop "That's Headley" http://thatsheadley.etsy.com. "Purple Reign" is created from more than 250 eye-catching beads of amethyst, pearl, Czech glass, quartz, Bali and Thai silver, and tiny Delica seed beads, all woven with sterling silver wire over a flexible stainless steel frame.
Ginny's beady obsession started with daisy chain chokers in junior high school and she's been hooked ever since.
Above are Headley's great go-everywhere Dewdrop earrings with faceted Aquamarine bead dangling in wire-wrapped hoops.She says that she love "rocks" the most, but finds glass and crystal fun, too, especially funky-beautiful beads from Africa, like the African beads in this chunky bracelet below where she has combined them with aventurine and jade:
In Ginny's "real" life she serves as a public health consultant in infectious disease and emergency preparedness. Jewelry design is where she let's go in creative play.
She is a member of several ETSY groups: Self Representing Artist Jewelry Designer (SRAJD), the Art Jewelry Collective and the Etsy Texas Crafters (ETC).
