Prong Ring - My First

Finally made my first prong ring today and that is all that I did today! Actually, the stone (opal) was originally from an earlier ring but it was way to big so i have to redo it. This ring is based on Dianne Karg Baron's tutorial for a two tone prong ring. Very happy with the outcome as I have been wanting to make this type of ring for a long long time.

Beaded Tucuman Braid Bracelet

Fresh from the oven! This beaded Tucuman Braid Bracelet was completed last night and now on the way to its new owner. Special thanks to Louise of Kingfisherdesigns

Why so quite?

Its been a about a week since I last posted. I have been busy - went for a trip last weekend and will be off again tomorrow for a meeting in KL. Maybe I will be back with lots of bullet holes :) For those who knows what kind of meeting I am attending, you will smile :D What to do? Part of my work.

I am missing my wires and gems terribly liao! Can't wait for weekend :)

Anyway, grandpa is not feeling well lately. Sometimes he seems to be hallucinating, dreamy (he sleeps whole day anyway), mumbling things like his friends (deceased) came to see him. Lots of them and and they are all very happy. He will be 95 very soon.

What's all the rush all about?

These of course! I should have done these earlier, bad time management :). Two nights of overtime till 2 am. Tomorrow someone is coming to pick them up and they should be on the way to Calgary - to my sis-in law and Rachel. I made Rachel a snowflake pendant. My second snowflake pendants. Really, they are quite fun to make but still can't beat wire weaving.....hehehe.

Angelic Earrings

Yeah that is what they are - Simply angelic earrings.

My First Tucuman Braid Bracelet

People in the forum/s have been talking about this new Tucuman Braid Bracelet from Don and Louise Coulson of Kingfisher Designs. So, I stole some time this evening to try it out myself. I present you my first Tucuman Braid Bracelet. Yeah! The tutorial is very easy to follow. I have no problem following it from the beginning till the end. The only "mistake" I made is to braid it too tight at the beginning of the braid, the clasp end. If you look at the pix below (bottom left of this first pix), the braid is thinner and tighter than the rest of the bracelet :) Ah! Will do better next time around.
