HAPPY 56th BIRTHDAY, MALAYSIA!

I'm proud to be a MALAYSIAN!


Wishing all Malaysians

What Have I Been Doing Lately?

Labels: , | at 6:19 AM

30th August 2013 (Friday) @ 10.00am

This is what I've been doing! 
 Trying out making a head/hair band with swirls and pure wire wrapping technique.  





This hair/head band is 100% handcrafted with anti-tarnish gold tone plated artistic wire.
Leave it plain or embellish it with bead.  
 I'm gonna embellish it with beads and update the photos later on.  


I even made a pair of ear hoops with it.


 And later , I wrapped it with turquoise beads and 
red swarovski bicone crystals.




So, what do you think of it? 
 I haven't decided on the name for these hoops.  
Any suggestions?

Incomplete Projects ~ Bead Weaving and Bead Embroidery

Labels: | at 6:03 AM

29th August 2013 (Thursday) @ 8.54pm

Hi there!  I'm back!  
This time I'm sharing with you a couple of photos of incomplete projects which I did some time ago but did not get to complete it due to other distractions.  I "dug" it out from my "Incomplete Project" box and decided to share it here, until I have something new to update.  


Two teardrop cabochons with peyote stitch techniques and
 a bead crochet rope waiting for it's turn to be done.



A bead embroidered pendant (prototype) using seed beads, gemstone chips
 and an oblong bead as the focal.  I bead embroidered it around a felt and
 finished it off using picot stitch for the edging.

Gonna put all three back into the box until I can find some time to complete them.  Now, I've got other things to do ....... Until then, take care!

My free tutorials featured in Beading Gem's Journal

Labels: | at 6:25 AM

11th August 2013 (Sunday) @ 8.51pm

Hello again .......

Wow!  Looks like I'm in a habit of not updating my blog again.  It's the school semester break again, this time for 2 weeks which includes the public holidays for Hari Raya festival as well.  Although I do not have to send and fetch the children to and from school, I still have other commitments. The children have their own agendas as well.   As usual, I don't take a break by going for holidays but stayed at home instead.  The thought of having to drive and get stuck  with thousands of cars on highways during this period is a trying time and a waste of time just to get to our intended destination.  

 I have not been crafting, too, as I am busy writing wirework jewelry tutorials and still in the midst of taking the step-by-step photos.  

Anyway, here's just for sharing ........

My free tutorial on easy wire wrapped studs earring has been featured by Ms Pearl of  The Beading Gem's Journal recently.  The link is at http://www.beadinggem.com/2013/08/easy-wire-wrapped-stud-earrings.html 


  She also mentioned on another free tutorial ~  my Adjustable Wire Wrapped Ring which you can find at http://emilysecretpassions.blogspot.com/2011/06/free-tutorial-wire-wrapped-beaded.html.

You can also find another recent tutorial ~ Twisted Wire Beaded Cross Pendant at http://emilysecretpassions.blogspot.com/2013/07/free-tutorial-twisted-wire-beaded-cross.html 

I hope anyone that comes across the above will try out the projects.  If you have any problems pertaining to the tutorial,  please email me at emilytanmeisin@yahoo.com.

Thank you for reading this. 
 Gotta stop here for now. 
 Till then, have a wonderful and productive week ahead 
and lastly, happy crafting! :D

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI

| at 12:05 AM

6th August 2013 (Wednesday) @ 2.59 pm

HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI is just around the corner and it is inevitable that the highways will see the annual balik kampung with the mass exodus of Klang Valley folks heading for their hometowns.    Some of them will be using public transport while others will do so in their own vehicles.  Those travelling in their own cars should ensure that their vehicles are in tip-top condition so that they will not encounter any problems during the long journey. 

 Have a pleasant and safe journey!

To all my fellow Muslims, 
Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri 
and to all my fellow Malaysians, 
have a happy and joyous holiday.
