Butterfly Dreams Earrings

This tutorial was one of the first I purchased when I got serious with wire work craft. It is only now that I managed to do the weave as it is different from other weaves I've learned. I have tried many times and was on the verge of giving up when I browse through all my tutorials. I preservered and I am very happy that I finally managed to do it. Hurray!

The earrings is called "Butterfly Dreams" (cos' there's a butterfly) and this design comes from it's designer, Jenny Pong of http:// www.jennypong.com.

Butterfly Dreams is handcrafted with natural copper plated artistic wire

and Swarovski Butterfly Crystal.

3-D Layer Vine Ring with Reversible Weave

Hmm.......Zzzzz.......waited for more than half an hour just to upload these pictures! While waiting for it to be uploaded, I 'went' elsewhere.

I luv...luv...luv this ring! Sad to say it's not my design as it belongs to Mohd Hilmi of www.emikaz.blogspot.com. It was sometime ago that I got his tutorial but does not have the guts to make an attempt at it as it looked complicated to me at THAT time. Now that its been done, I find it's not that intimidating at all.

You can wear it either way.

The above crafted with natural copper artistic wire, turquoise teardrop shape bead,

red coral and 14K gold filled beads.

This piece is done with combination of copper and brass coloured artistic wire

with Crazy Lace Agate Teardrop shape bead and 14K gold filled beads.

Thanks for looking & have a nice day!

Fuchsia Bloom Pendant

I've got time on my hands, so this is what came out - a 3D looking Fuchsia Bloom Pendant. This pendant uses a slightly modified herringbone technique with lots of wire. I've used two different gauges of wire for this floral pendant.

This one's for keeps.

The pendant measures approximately 5.5cm in length and 3cm at its widest part (the petal).

This floral bloom tutorial comes from www.metallique-bijoux.com

Update on Christmas Charity Bazaar

Phew........ I finally completed the projects for the Christmas Charity Bazaar. My pretties are all packed and ready to be despatched to the organising chairperson of Leo Club. They are to be sold during the event, from 17th - 19th December (proposed date) at Subang Parade (proposed venue). Please go to www.f-expressions.blogspot.com for further details.

Here is a glimpse of what I've done - some are repetitions of my creations

but there are two new ones.

Sparkly "O" Studs done in anti-tarnish silver plated copper artistic wire and coloured Swarovski Crystals. I've done a pair or two as a prototype previously when I first purchased the tutorial .

This design comes from Mei of www.wireblissmei.com

This is my own design, Amazonite Vintage Style Copper Earrings

- crafted with natural copper artistic wire and

Natural Amazonite Gemstone Teardrop/Round Beads.

After this I'll have some time to do my own crafting as well as trying out a few other tutorials.

This is all I can blog about in the mean time.

Thank you for reading this and since tomorrow (Deepavali) is a holiday,

have a wonderful holiday every one !
