Rose Quartz Wire Wrapped Brooch - Herringbone Weave

Sometimes my brain don't want to work as I wanted it to be. A customer came up with a sketch for a brooch. Took me the longest time to figure out how to create it with wire....attempted 3 times and wasted some wires along the way. Somehow I couldn't wire wrap the rose quartz in place with my own design. It was not meant to be herringbone weaved initially but Delia's post gave me the inspiration. Herringbone weave is one of my favorite weaves and this is a very creative way of using the weave. So, I finally completed the brooch. And here is a simple wire wrapped malachite ring.

Seeing Double - Wire Wrap Tulip Brooch

No! Nothing is wrong with your eyes :) You are not seeing double :) This is my third wire wrapped tulip brooch. This one looks more like the second one here. Someone saw the second one and fell in love with it.....you know who you are..hehe! Must be the color. I love the color too... This one measures about 4 cm in length and took me shorter time to make. Getting better with it :)

Borneo Ceramic Bead Earrings, Sterling Silver

For a long time now, I have been wanting to wire wrap some of my Borneo ceramic beads and list them in my etsy shop. Finally last night I made a pair of earrings. It is now listed in my etsy shop if you are interested. This pair consist of two unique handcrafted Borneo ceramic beads wrapped with sterling silver wire and 4mm bicone Swarovski Crystals. Each bead measures about 10mm. The handmade nature of the process and the natural individuality of the clay and colors result in variations from bead to bead. As you can see here, the sizes of these two beads vary. One bigger than the other. So, if you are looking for perfection, you will not find it in these beads. I shall be listing more soon in the form of other Borneo ceramic beads. They are really lovely and unique.
