Wire Weaved Cross ala Iza

In my previous post here, I have shown you this piece only partially. If you are a wire wrap jewelry enthusiasts, you may have seen this familiar piece of cross one time or another in the www. Yeah! This is Iza's inspired cross involving lots of wire weaving and long hours. This piece is wire weaved with 29ga stainless steel wire (yeah a bit stiff for weaving) over 19ga stainless steel wire but I am very satisfied with the outcome. Managed to weaved them close and tightly. The stones are peridot. The focal was weaved herringbone style.

What I got from Ikea

Found this vase at Ikea recently. Just nice to take photos of my my wire wrap pieces.

Stones from Hong Kong

Yippi! So happy today as I got these goodies in my mail. They are from my sister. She got them during her recent trip to Hong Kong.

Garnet - flower shaped and round.

Not sure about the light blue stone but the other two are labradorite and jasper

Pearls, I love pearls especially the coin pearls

Cat's Eyes - all perfectly rounded.

Tulip Brooch - Second One

My second tulip brooch was completed today. This time around with some changes, namely the focal bead, leave and the pin (shorter). You can check out the first one here.

Wire Weaving

Spent whole day today weaving wires. Something I have been wanting to make till today...weaving 3 wires together. Weaving with 29ga stainless steel wire is quite manageable. The weaving turned out quite neat and tight.
The first pix is a trial piece while the second pix is the finished piece. Can't show the whole piece yet....:P

More Crosses

Last night was spent finishing up few more crosses for a friend. These are all for handphones or anywhere for that matter as long as you can hang them :)
