My first ring!

This is my first attempt at making a ring, and the design of the ring is one I found on one of the forums I visited. Unfortunately, I can't remember which one, and so can't give credit where it is due. :( However, I do recall that it is based on a tutorial by beadergoingnuts in Beadingholics

Anyway, I'm completely new to making rings, and therefore need lots more practice before I am able to make them proficiently and efficiently, and most importantly, find my own style.

However, I was so excited about having made my first ring that I just had to blog about it. Here's another shot of it on my ugly and un-manicured hand.

Neuf - S$38

Happy New Year everyone! Here's to a great 2007 for us all.

And presenting my first creation for 2007, here's Neuf (French for 'new'):


This bracelet consists of fluorite rounds encased with lovingly hand-coiled wire, interspersed with filigree rounds. Neuf measures 19cm (approx 7.5") and is adjustable.

Landscape

Like a landscape painting of trees, this natural picture jasper is framed with hand-coiled wire to create a pendant hung on a suede cord, so as not to detract from its beauty.

Victoria

This delicate and Victorian-inspired necklace is made of lavender jade and charoite and has a beautiful lavender and green jasper focal.

Purple Dream

A pair of fun and flirty earrings made with fabric flowers, charoite and silver-tone wire.

Wasabi and Ginger (Now Mine)

Similar to Seeing Green, but in pink and green this time. Once again, the glass beads can be detached to be used as a bracelet. A new twist is that the length of the necklace is also adjustable.

I like this so much, I've decided to keep it. If you'd like something similar, please do not hesitate to e-mail me.

Wired!

Inspired to try wire wrapping by Simone, this was what I came up with:

Silver-lined glass squares (two shades)interspersed with freshwater pearls with a sterling silver clasp.

The photo doesn't do it justice. It is rather stunning and eye-catching in 'person'.
