2007-12-31 15:11:00 Two pairs of earrings I made today. The first one with the green beads is to be paired with the ethnic ring I made for myself few days ago and the second one is my first attempt with of hoops earrings......opps! I think that is what they are called ....correct me if I am wrong! :) On the side, while busy making earrings, the little one was busy playing with Ultraman stickers.

Square Cab Rings Ala Eni
2007-12-30 15:34:00 Back to wire wrap ring again, today I experimented with Eni Oken's Square Cab Ring but the results are not as good as I would like them to be. Maybe because the cabs are not square enough. Got to look for square cabs after New Year. The difficult part is the starting part, making the four loops to hold the cab in place. The cab kept slipping away. The weaving part is easy and I enjoyed it very More About: Rings
"Special Gifts" from Special Someone
2007-12-30 15:16:00 I received two pairs of earrings today from that special someone. That special someone is William, my little boy. He will be 5 next March and I can't believe he made them all by himself this afternoon. Normally I don't let him play with my tools and wire but today is a special treat as he has been a good boy whole morning. He asked for some of my left over wire and said " I will make mommy More About: Gifts , Special
Ethnic Ring - Mine for the keeping
2007-12-29 15:57:00 Today I made another ethnic ring. It turned out quite well balance and I have decided to keep this for myself :D. The size is just right for my middle finger. As a comparison, you can see the ring is much smaller than the first ethnic ring I made last weekend. More About: Ring , Ethnic , Mine
Ethnic Ring No. 2
2007-12-24 14:41:00 Not satisfied with the first ethnic ring (previous entry), I made another one here. This time its smaller and suit my finger nicely. Still there is a small mistake made on the two center wire coils. They are way too short. Miscalculation on my part. They lie too flat making the ring looking rather flat top. This time around I managed to complete the ring in under 3 hours. Am thinking of a third More About: Ring , Ethnic
Wire Wrap Ethnic Ring Ala Iza
2007-12-23 15:24:00 Sore thumb, sweat and a wee bit of blood is the result of this ring. I finally finished this wire wrap ethnic ring based on Iza's tutorial. She is just so talented and I am always in awe of her creations. Her tutorial makes everything looked so simple but it is actually not that simple especially when I am working with stainless steel wire. Got my thumb poked by the sharp end of the wire while More About: Ring , Ethnic , Wire , Wrap

My Christmas Tree Earring
2007-12-20 17:04:00 Its past midnight and I am still here posting this Christmas tree earring I made a while ago. I used seed beads for the tree and Czech fire polished beads (6mm) at the bottom. Better get some sleep now as tomorrow is a working day. No more holidays for me...*sigh* More About: Tree , Earring , Christmas tree
Some Earrings for Xmas
2007-12-19 14:27:00 Believe me I tried to make as much pretties as I could today (still on leave) but the boys just don't let me. If I am around the house, they only want me to bath them, put on their clothes, pass them their bottles, feed them, etc! etc! Headache! headache! Wonder if other mom faces the same situations? So, I only managed these three pairs of earrings today. My favorite are the two wire wrapped More About: Earrings , Xmas
Pearl & Rose Quartz Necklace/Earring Set
2007-12-18 14:48:00 Finally I managed to finish this piece for Mui Mui. Otherwise, she will be going back empty handed. They left this afternoon for home and the boys were sad to see them go. William actually didn't want them to go back yet and asked the two ceces (cousin sisters) to stay back in Kuching. Look at the picture below. William didn't want to let her go......LOL. See you all next year....maybe. More About: Necklace , Rose , Earring , Pearl , Quartz
Amerald Faceted Crystal Rosary
2007-12-16 15:52:00 Today I made another rosary. This one is for my sister in-law who is here for a short holiday. This is my favorite one so far. Always fascinated with green. I used the deep emerald faceted crystal rondelles and lime colored Czechs fire polished beads and the contrast gives it a very nice look. More About: Crystal
Another Rose Quartz Rosary
2007-12-15 16:02:00 Ah well, another rose quartz rosary and this time its for Swee Lin, my niece. This picture here is however not Swee Lin. She is her younger sister, Mui Mui, turned 10 today. Swee Lin is too camera shy so Mui Mui posed with this rosary on her behalf. Both nieces are here for a short holiday with their mom and grandma. So, its a busy weekend for me. Managed to squeeze some time this morning and More About: Rose , Quartz
Last Weekend Projects
2007-12-10 04:05:00 Age is really catching up with me. Only realized it last weekend and today. The aftermath of a badminton game. I took part in a competition last weekend and now my whole body is aching. What makes it worst is that I only played one set!. Duh! duh! If I was to play more sets, I am quite sure I will be bedridden.......What should I do now? Play and train more, that is the only way to keep fit and More About: Projects , Weekend
Rose Quartz Rosary
2007-12-06 15:29:00 This rosary is made for my childhood best friend back in Sabah. We have not been keeping in touch (directly) for years until recently when I discovered her online. Most of the time, news of her trickle down to me through third party. She requested for two and I only finished this rose quartz rosary last night. Spent two nights to complete it...or about 5 hours in between tv breaks.... More About: Rose , Quartz
Mattee Rainbow "E" Beads Bracelet

This bracelet consists of matte rainbow "E" beads, heart shaped rose quartz, red rectangular faceted glass bead, green 8mm swarovski crystal (a bit out of place but included because this is her favorite color), bali spacers and 3mm round garnet.

Wire Wrap Tiger Eyes Bracelet
2007-10-30 15:19:00 At first I wanted to name this bracelet "the sun" but the longer I look at it, the more it doesn't resemble the sun. Looks more like something that is ready to fly or a flower. But why so concern about naming it? For now it is just a wire wrap bracelet with tiger eyes at the center and the chain. Took many hours and days to complete this one.....on and off since last Sunday. I just love the More About: Eyes , Bracelet , Wire , Tiger , Wrap

Red Hot Chili Earring
2007-10-27 16:04:00 Hot! hot! This pair looks like a bunch of very ripe chilies waiting to be plucked. This pair is a combination of pearls (top), 6mm bicone swarovski crystal (center) and red glass beads (bottom). The length from top to bottom is about 8mm. I love the color but when come to put them on, I think its too hot for my taste. More About: Chili , Earring , Hili

Big Blue Hotel
2007-10-24 14:54:00 Wouldn't it be great if I can just take a long overdue trip. It has been quite stressful at the office lately and making wire jewelry is not helping me at all. A trip just to have fun would be great for me and the kids. There is a place that I have been dreaming of visiting. When I see blue, it reminded me of Blackpool Hotel s.
