Save The Date! June 6th and 7th, 2026. Arizona Artists Guild is hosting our 2nd Art Fair INSIDE in the air conditioning from 9 AM to 4 PM both days. We will have curated 22 artists for you to meet and shop their art, including me. They have a wide range of media and styles. #saholtartist
Here is today's little beaded spider. She's strutting her stuff in purple and gold. Such royal colors. #saholtartist
Here's today's blue and silver spider. Those ultramarine blue glass beads really sparkle in the light! #saholtartist
I've figured out a way to lay out my beads so I don't mess up and get long and short legs. #saholtartist
It took all afternoon for me to put together this beaded spider bracelet. It fought me the entire time. She's here now and she's gorgeous. I need to go hydrate. #saholtartist
I added support for the legs. It makes the bracelet keep its shape, and makes it easier to put on and take off. Experimenting is awesome! #saholtartist
I found my memory wire and decided to make a spider bracelet with it. It was a pain in my hands. I forgot how tough memory wire is to bend. This may be the only one of these I put together. We'll see how my hands feel in an hour. It's really pretty. #saholtartist
I've created a special section on my website called "Beaded Necklaces with Pendants" to showcase the pieces I've been creating and posting about over the past couple of weeks. Please take a peek if you would like to compare them to one another. Link in comments. #saholtartist
My amazing and talented friend Amber (last name redacted because of her day job) painted this Botticelli inspired ceramic pendant I made. I then wire wrapped it, and today it was balanced by this amazing beaded necklace. #saholtartist
3-D daisy: This is another hand carved, ceramic, wire wrapped pendant I made several years ago. It's a daisy with green leaves and a yellow center on a porcelain white background. I created the beaded necklace today to give it support and add to its beauty. #saholartist
This is one of my carved, handmade, wire wrapped ceramic pendants from 2012. I knew something was missing to make it the showpiece I know it is. Turned out to be a dazzling beaded necklace. It's a gorgeous one of a kind piece of wearable art. #saholtartist
Tonight I was inspired to create this pink and gray bracelet. When the beads tell you what they want to be, you dive right in. #saholtartist
Today's art project was framing these two paintings to go to the Arizona Artists Guild for the Spring Show. I take them in on Sunday. They are available, but won't be ready for delivery until after the show. #saholtartist
Don't use women's names as insults. Use men's names as insults and see how quickly that trend dies out.
Onyx can be tricky to photograph because it likes to play with the light. This wire wrapped pendant looks light in the light and dark in shady places. I paid it with black, white, gray, and pink beads that make the pendant the star. #saholtartist
This agate pendant has amazing movement. It's 3" tall, and is the definitive of a statement piece. #saholtartist
When I wire wrapped this pendant several years ago, I didn't imagine giving it a beaded necklace. I don't have any chrysocholla beads, so I color matched the ones I do have to the inclusions in the pendant. #saholtartist
The fact that I have several kinds of beads that matched this wire wrapped pendant makes me so happy! It's such a pretty blue-green. #saholtartist
This is one of my favorite wire wrapped pendants I've created. Now it has an equally amazing beaded necklace to support it. #saholtartist
I found some of my wire wrapping from a decade ago, and I'm putting beaded necklaces on some of them. Here's the first one. I don't remember what the stone is other than purple and so pretty! #saholtartist
Sunrise or sunset? Which do you think this pendant and necklace look like? I'm a night owl, so sunset for me. #saholtartist
Golden ambers in the pendant inspired this amazing necklace. I want you to see it in person! #saholtartist
There's just something about the combination of black, white, and gold that instantly elevates any outfit. This piece would look amazing in jeans and a plain white T, or with a fancy black shirt. #saholtartist
I love how the koi on the pendant leads the eye up to the necklace, then back to the pendant. Nice flow and balance abounds! #saholtartist
Pink, plum, and black with silver findings... Stunning! #saholtartist
It's nice living in a place that has both desert and forests. We get the best of both worlds. This pendant will remind you of winter during the hot summer months. #saholtartist
The beach vibes are strong with this one. Is the beach your favorite place? I haven't been in years and I miss the sound of the waves. #saholtartist
I was up late last night on an adrenaline rush, so I decided to put my extra energy to good use. I had so much fun making the necklace for this pendant! Check out those perfect little orange beads! #saholtartist
It finally happened, I drew blood while making this necklace, luckily, it was my own, and I didn't bleed on the beads. Worth it, though. Here's the beautiful, colorful necklace and pendant. It's so pretty!
