Side-tracked

I was supposed to be clearing up and setting up my room, but I got side-tracked by all my beads and wires.

This pair took me about 4 hours to create and is made of approximately 4m of wire and Swarovski crystals.

After forming the frame, I hand-wrapped it, and then formed and wrapped the filigree component before attaching them, and the crystals, to the frame. It is topped off with a single Swarovski bicone that picks up on the 3mm bicone in the cluster.

Ear-wires are rhodium.

Birthday Earrings

This pair of earrings were made for my SIL for her birthday early this month. I think she likes it as I've seen her wearing it s couple of times already.

They're made of glass coins and Swarovski crystal teardrops. I like that they're so bright and cheery.

Still Alive

I know, I know, it's been more than a year since I last blogged. Or made anything. It's terrible, I know.

Anyway, I'm still alive, and recently, I've been more fired up about creating jewellery again. Yay!

I'm in the process of setting up a beading/work area for myself. Once that is done, I'll get busy creating once more! I'm so looking forward to that. I just hope that I'll be able to sustain this bout of inspiration and motivation and see it through, especially since I'll be spending a little less time on my day job.

Watch this space!

Mother's Day

This pendant is inspired by Eni Oken's Abacus.

Made of several feet of sterling silver wire and dyed freshwater pearls, this is Mum's Mother's Day present this year.

Denise

This Swarovski crystal embellished ring is sure to be noticed. It will dress up your hands for a formal occasion, but is equally at home with jeans.

Cool Blue

A fun ring painstakingly hand coiled with silver plated copper wire and Swarovski crystals. The large Swarovski bicone on the left 'dangles'.

This scroll ring was inspired by Patricia Au's rings .

Wai Leng (not available)

This was made for my SIL Wai Leng. I hope she enjoys it.
