Just completed these sparkly bracelets. The one on the left is wire wrapped with 14k goldfilled wire while the one on the right is sterling silver wire. All beads are 8mm donut shaped Swarovski Crystals. They measure between 17cm to 21cm in length.

Sago Worms for Dinner!
Anyway, these deep fried Sago Worms were for Audrey, who is back from NZ for the funeral. She listed down all the food she'd like to try out while here and these Worms are one of them. Didn't manage to take pix of the worm in her mouth though. We were too busy looking at her reaction and forgot all about taking pictures.
But like me, its her first and last Sago Worm!...LOL
Threw out the whole plate after that as no one is brave enough to try them out.

Wire Wrapped Butterfly Pendant by Emily
Emily did it again! I posted her other creations before - Wire Wrapped Tulip Pendant, Athena's Shield, Caged Herringbone Weaved Bead, Sparkly Ring and Rose Ring.
She is getting better and better each day. Just look at her Wire Wrapped Butterfly Pendant below.
Honestly, her butterfly looks prettier than mine :)
Well done Emily! and thank you for sharing.

Stringing Projects
Sometimes I wonder why I don't do stringing projects more often. They are much! much! much! easier than wire wrapping. They are much faster to complete. I can complete one necklace under half and hour.
On the other hand I need at least 3 to 4 hours to complete one wire wrapped necklace or 1 to 2 hours for a wire wrapped bracelet. Much more hours needed if the wire wrapping is complicated.
But then I realized stringing is just stringing. All you need are string, clasps, pliers and beads or gemstones. Put them all together and you are done. Of course, a bit more creativity will create one of a kind stringed piece.
Wire wrapping on the other hand still requires all the above except the string. But then of course lots of patience and load of imagination and creativity. With wires, I can manipulate them into various designs and shapes which string can't do.
You can't make a clasp out of string do you? Or you can?
At the end of the day, completing a wire wrapped piece gives me more satisfaction and sense of accomplishment than completing a stringed piece of jewelry.
Hmm.....maybe you don't agree with me. The above necklaces, bracelet and earrings turned out quite well but I am still crazy about wires and wire wrapping jewelry ;D
Have a happy wrapping day!

Passing of a Centenerian
It has been almost a week and it has been busy one. Not busy with wire jewelry but on family matters. We bid our last goodbye to our dearest beloved grandfather/great grandfather last Friday who lived and enjoyed life to the fullest right up to almost a century, 95 to be exact. We will miss him very much but we also know that he is now with someone who loves him more.
Goodbye "Ah Kong" and we love you always.

Crafts Promotion at Kuching Waterfront
Today is the last day of the Malaysian Crafts Promotion at Kuching Waterfront. It started on July 31st. It was really a hassle to go there as one side of the road is closed for traffic and tents are set up there. Made few rounds until I decided to park about half a kilometer away. Overall, I am quite dissappointed as there are more textiles stalls than other crafts. The crowd was small...maybe because it was noon time and its so so so hot.
Enjoy the pictures here: Click on the photo to enlarge.

Rose! Rose! I Still Love You
My photo editing is not done yet but I took some time off to make these Rose! Rose! I Love You wire wrapped rings this afternoon. A really quick project and quite simple.
Off to their new owners very soon.
