A panda pendant studio peek-a-boo

Check this fun pendant out!! The finished necklace will be pretty spectacular once I finish beading it. It will have a Cleopatra collar sort of feel to it and an easy one to wear with everything from denim and earthtones to basic black. This glass is so stunning and vitreous. A very complicated design to execute with hours of work in the glass alone.

I couldn’t believe what a great match I found in my bead stash for this fused glass pendant I just finished. Those batik bone beads with the brown and ivory dots that I bought in Capetown South Africa are a perfect match to the raku glass backdrop on the elegant jade colored pendant. I am also using huge flat chartreuse jade ovals as the main accent beads flanking the pendant

There will most likely be turquoise accents as well as matching earrings!! More to come later this week!!!

My name is Sandra Miller, and art is at the heart of everything I do. I create from my studio in beautiful Portland, Oregon, where life is shared with my husband Steve and our charming “Dog in the Kitchen,” Ihana—my constant muse and taste-tester behind the scenes of this creative journey.

Through my artwork and the Dog in the Kitchen project, I love blending creativity, storytelling, and a touch of everyday magic.
