Emily Secret Passions

Mrs C's simple Herringbone Weaved Bracelet, crafted with anti tarnish artistic wire in silver and brass and multi-colour Swarovski Donut crystals.

Another simple bracelet with Swarovski Pearls and Bicone Crystals.

SUNDAY is supposed to be a rest day but not for me. Just got back from Jusco after fetching my son from his badminton training session. While trying to depart from Jusco building, my parking ticket got rejected by the machine as it was unable to read the bar code on the card and I couldn't move anywhere while behind, long queue of cars were waiting for me to drive off. Luckily, no one made an attempt to honk me. Told my children to get down and inform the security guard at the entrance and after waiting for five minutes or so, I managed to leave the car park. Well............. so much about that.

Posted below are pictures of two pairs of earrings I completed which resulted from Corra Liew's Snowflakes Earrings Tutorial. This is a simple and elegant Snowflakes Earrings using Wired Chinese Knot. To see more of Corra's creations, go to www.decorshandmades.blogspot.com

I dumped many, many pieces before successfully completing these two pairs. Broke the wires along the way while trying too hard to attach the beads. My fingers were itching to do the third pair after the successful attempt but I managed to stop myself from doing them. I then told myself, "Hey, Emily, you can try them out again whenever you have the time".

This is a commissioned piece by the same customer who wanted a matching bracelet to go with her choker necklace that I completed earlier. It's made with 7 strands of anti tarnish silver artistic wire with various sizes of swarovski pearls and bicones.

SATURDAY is here again..................

Some more commissioned pieces for a customer who prefers wire crochet necklaces and bracelet. I hope you don't mind the sepia colour of the pics that I've posted here. Am still experimenting with my new handphone camera. The phone cost me a bomb but I don't like the quality of the pictures at all.

Same picture as the above (Choker Necklace & Bracelet set)

Brass colour anti tarnish artistic wire with various sizes of swarovski pearls in cream

and bicone crystals.

Necklace (Choker Style)
Silver artistic wire with Paua Shell Beads, various sizes of swarovski pearls and crystals.

This woven wire cuff was the result of a free tutorial given out by the very generous Ms Nancy Wickman of wickwirejewelry.blogspot.com. Go to her blog if you would like to see her creations as well as a few other free tutorials.

16g wire was used for the frame and woven with anti tarnish silver artistic wire, round glass bead (actually, it's green in colour but didn't show in the pic) and gold pink 5mm beads.

Since I was quite free yesterday, being a Saturday, I made another attempt at making this necklace. I made a coiled bracelet which I posted in my blog some time ago, so this time I made a necklace.

Started doing the necklace yesterday afternoon, and completed it this morning. More than 20 feet of wire (I used 18g, 26 and 28 g) was used to make this necklace and slightly more than 10 hours to handcoil it around the framed beads. This time I made a slightly loose frames for the beads so that I could coil the wires easily.
