I'm Back .... Officially

Labels: | at 3:21 PM

Hello again.... and this time I'm officially back. The past few weeks have not been too good for me as I was kept busy with the preparation for the chinese new year which takes me away from my passion. Now that it's over, I can sit down and start crafting again. My work table, beads, tools, etc. are all waiting for me!

Actually this piece, a big and bold necklace was started before the festive season and I kept doing piece by piece at the very moment that I can lay my hands on. I wanted to do something like this long time ago but ......... anyway, here is the completed necklace. Don't have a name for it yet.




The large oval frame measures at 4.5 cm x 7.5cm and the smaller ones at 3.5 x 4.5cm. When worn, it rests below the collar bone.

Materials:
Anti-tarnish Artistic wire in gun metal and brass.
Mookaite gemstone carved flower, carnelian, turquoise, onyx, red coral (oil dyed), chrysocolla and Czech leaf-shape beads.

I am not sure whether I should keep the necklace as part of my collection but if there's anyone interested, I may part with it as I can always make another piece as long as I have the materials.

I'm Back .....

Labels: | at 3:42 PM

Hello...hello.... I am back everyone but not officially.
CNY is not over yet so I'll be back right after the festival and wait for the right mood to start wirework crafting. My tools, beads, wires, etc. have been stored away temporarily to make way for some space in the living hall but I know my hands are eager to start crafting again soon.

In the meantime, wanna share these pictures with you.


Custom made for LYYL just before the CNY. Four pairs of simple wire wrapped earrings - Red Tiger Eye, Cherry Quartz, Rose Quartz and Black Obsidian.


My sister in-law wearing the Blooming Rose Collection (Mawar Mekar)
which I made for her.
Until then.... thanks for looking and have a wonderful week ahead!

There goes my weekend........

Labels: | at 2:34 AM

Oh boy!! Am I dead tired!
There goes my weekend and the one last week.
Been busy....yeah, pretty busy, not with the wires and tools in my hands but doing the spring cleaning for the whole house for the coming chinese new year. Also accompanied hubby for his cataract operation on both eyes
and I turned into a nurse right after that
as I have to apply eye drops for him every two to three hours.
Yesterday and today was spent marketing for the ingredients and vegetables and cutting them to make my "Acar" (Picked Mixed Vegetables, to be taken with keropok). This will go on for straight four days until I fulfill all my orders. This chore occurs every year nearing the chinese new year.
These (from top: Banded brown/white Agate Rice-shaped, Rose Quartz Focal Marquise-shaped bead & Ocean Jasper Focal Marquise-shaped bead) arrived a few days ago but have not decided what to do with them just yet.

I hope to find some time right after the chinese new year to start crafting again. My hands are now "itchy" and eyes darting across to my work table but I guess it'll have to wait a little longer. May have to pack away all my beads and the lots to another room until after the festival.

Alrite... I think I'll have to start cutting the vegetables again, ironing, etc. and if time permits, I'll put up the new year decorations.

Until then....... thank you for taking the time reading this. =p

Indian Feather Earrings ~ Prototype

Labels: | at 4:27 AM

Yeh, yeh ....it's a holiday tomorrow (14/1/11, Hari Keputeraan Tuanku Yang Di-Pertua Besar Negeri Sembilan) and straight 3 days of rest.
Did not do much crafting since the school semester started, and I discovered that I've been a bit lazy after laying off the projects on my "Will Do/To Do" list. Anyway, I am still trying to adjust myself and hope to be back crafting in no time.
By the way, here's something that I'd like to share with you. It's called Indian Feather Earrings, named by it's Polish designer, Iza Malcyzk who has a few other tutorials on her website (www.izamalcyzk.com)


Crafted with Natural Copper Anti-tarnish Artistic Wire and Swarovski Pearls.
Measurement: Length is approximately 2.6" (6.7cm), without ear wires.

Do they resemble our Petronas Twin Towers?

Chinese New Year is just around the corner and looks like I'll be busy preparing for the coming festival.
Hope to get an opportunity to find some time to start crafting again after the Chinese New Year.
Until then.... have a nice week ahead as well as a very Happy & Prosperous Chinese New Year to one and all.

2011.... A New Year Begins

Labels: | at 8:26 PM

Hi, I hope it's still not too late to wish everyone who's reading this a very Happy New Year.
The new year school semester has started and it's time to hit the books again........well, not for me, of course, but my three children. The eldest and the youngest will be sitting for their SPM and UPSR respectively, and the other boy in Form 2. Luckily, all three of them are in the morning session, so I shall have some peace and tranquil to carry out the house chores.
The last school holiday last month was meant for my children but not necessarily a holiday for their mother. As a homemaker, our list of chores are endless and work never ceases.

These top and bottom pictures were taken during peak periods after school hours and it get's chaotic whenever it rains. Normally, i'll wait until all the cars are almost out of the school compound (pic below) only then I will fetch my daughter.


So, not to waste my time while waiting, I always have some magazines in the car to accompany me. It does not matter whether they've been seen many, many times, I still enjoy reading the issues.



And for me, it's back to work, work and more work and hopefully,
I can get some crafting done again after quite an absence.

New Year resolutions?
Nope, I don't make resolutions that I can't fulfil.
I guess I have some things in my "To Do List" and
there's lots of them but my priority is to the family.
I am just hoping that one fine day in the near future,
I would have more time to concentrate on my passion.

I hope I didn't bore you with my ramblings, though. It's suppose to be a short update on some wire crafting project but at the moment, my rambling is the only thing I can share.

Until then...........

Thanks for dropping by and for taking the time to read this =)
