Turquoise Teardrop Copper Earrings

Labels: | at 12:10 AM

I was rummaging through my stash of beads last week when I came across these turquoise teardrop shape beads and was wondering what to do with them. As they are natural, so no two beads are alike. I will at times forget that I have them in my stash and found them unintentionally.
Normally, ideas/inspirations for earrings, bracelets, pendants, etc will just pop up whenever I am sleeping, cooking, carrying out house chores, driving and even when I am in the shower. Most of the time, when I can remember, I will sketch them onto a piece of paper that I can get my hands on and later play with the designs with whatever beads that I have. Then, I would use the techniques that I've learned to craft them out into appropriate designs.

How I wish I could wear them on my ears!



Code: ESP 97

The above pair is very simple in design with coils at the bottom, crafted with natural copper artistic wire and embellished with turquoise teardrop shape beads, some red donut glass crystals and round turquoise beads, hanging from handforged ear wire.

Length: 5.5cm from bottom of ear wire, 3cm at its widest part.
For your information, from now on I will not be posting the price for my accessories, except for the code no. This design will be a made to order piece. You may email me if you're interested and I'll be glad to reply to your inquiries.

Blooming Rose Ear Studs ~ Self Collection

Labels: | at 5:52 AM

Hello.......and before I go any further, I'd like to apologise for the lack of updates but would like thank you for being so patient to those who have been following my blog.
Been feeling very, very tired lately as well as lack of sleep during the night. It has been going on for the past few years though, and my eye sight is not helping me, too. My vision started to deteriorate ever since I took up wire work but I hope I can continue as long as this passion of mine is still burning. Hopefully I do not have to hang up all my tools and my stash away all my beads, etc ;(.
Anyway..... since I have nothing new to share for the moment except for this pair of Rose ear studs that I made for myself. I don't look good in chandeliers and dangles cos' am wearing spectacles and because I have thick ear lobes, so I made them into studs. They are definately smaller compared to the adjustable rings and the earrings which I made and posted earlier in my blog.



They're crafted with anti-tarnish silver artistic wire, using weaving technique with a Swarovski Crystal Pearl in Grey embedded in the middle. It measures about 1.6~1.8cm in diameter.
(Design comes from Kiki of BorneoQueen, Jewelry Lessons.com)
Woo...hoo... tomorrow (31 August) is a holiday as we will be celebrating
our Nation's 53rd Independence Day
and I get to wake up slightly later.
Already feeling very sleepy now .....^_^.......
Selamat Hari Merdeka to everyone .........
and thanks for looking !

Childhood Friends Reunion

Labels: | at 9:34 PM

Yohoo...... how's every one getting on lately? I'd like to apologise for not updating my blog with my wirework craftings. Being a bit lazy and the creative juice wouldn't flow smooth, so....
Anyway, here are some pics to share with you.

They are my friends from childhood days who came visiting to Seremban. They say since I couldn't make a trip to KL, they'll come up to visit me. It was sort of like a reunion as we have not seen each other for more than 10 years I would say. After our secondary school education, some went to pursue courses, found work, etc. Each of us being busy with our own families and career although we keep in touch via phone/email, the sort. We've got lots of things to talk about and hopefully to meet again soon.

Wire Wrap Dichroic Glass/Black Obsidian Earrings

Labels: | at 1:03 AM

It seems quite a while that I have listed anything up for sale. I acquired some handmade Dichroid glass beads and instead of hoarding it for myself, I wire wrapped and made them into two pairs of earrings. As they're handmade, the glass beads are different from one another and are very beautiful. So, here they are ...........



Code: ESP 93
RM35 (Sold)
Remarks: Only 1 pair available.
Oval shape dome top Dichroic Handmade Glass Cabochon (Specks of Blue/Green),
14mm x 10mm. Wire wrapped with silver artistic wire,
matching Swarovski bicone crystals and dangles
from handforged ear wires.


Code: ESP 94
RM35
Remarks: Only 1 pair available.
Oval shape dome top Dichroic Handmade Glass Cabochon
(Specks of Orange/Yellow), 14mm x 10mm.
Wire wrapped with brass artistic wire, matching Swarovski bicone crystals
on handforged ear wires.

Note: Dichroic Glass-making process is very complex and unique. Multiple ultra-thin layers of different metals such as genuine gold, silver, titanium, zirconium and others are processed together in special vacuum chamber. Then crystallized structure fixed with crystal quartz. The main characteristic of dichroic glass is that it has a transmitted colour and a completely different reflected colour, as certain wave lengths of light either pass through or are reflected. This causes an array of colour to be displayed. The colours shift depending on the angle of view. Overall, they look very stunning and posh. ~ Marinacraft.com.my
There are other colours available for the Dichroid Glass Beads (from the supplier),
if interested, please email me.

Code: ESP 95
RM 35
Remarks: Available for remakes.
Black Obsidian Gemstone Faceted Oval Bead (12mm x 9mm),
wire wrapped with brass artistic wire
and Garnet Gemstone Round Bead on handforged ear wires.

wire wrapped with silver artistic wire on handforged ear wires.

Leaf Shape Links Bracelet

Labels: | at 9:55 PM

Hello everyone...
It's been a while since I last update my blog. Here is a bracelet (prototype) to share with you in the meantime.
The leaf shape links are made with silver artistic wire and dangles from it are flower carved shell beads. Had wanted to do a pair of earrings and necklace out from the links but couldn't find the time to do them. The idea came from Sherry of http://sherrysjewels.blogspot.com who had a free tutorial on leaf/goddess links. Well .... my leaves are different from her's and you can shape them any way you want.






There are just too many things that I want to do but never get to do them, especially my wire work. Oh....oh have to go for now but will be back soon (I hope).
Thanks for visiting!
