Wire Wrapped Tulip Brooch/Pendant/Earring - All in One (maybe new Tutorial)

Spent the whole day wire wrapping this tulip brooch cum pendant cum earring (1 side only :)) and took lots of pictures as I am thinking of turning them into step by step tutorial later on...but still thinking. That is why the "maybe" in the title...hehe. Why "maybe" you may ask? Well, writing a step by step wire jewelry tutorial is not as easy as you thought. Takes lots of time in choosing the best pix, editing them, prepare the doc, writing, editing, editing, editing, proofreading, proofreading, edit again, formatting, converting files, etc. etc. That is why. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this piece and I shall announce it if I finally decided to do the tutorial. Maybe I should just go ahead with the tutorial. Ah! Let me sleep over it. Sweet dreams and good nite. Wire Wrapped Tulip Brooch/Pendant/EarringWire Wrapped Tulip Brooch/Pendant/Earring Wire Wrapped Tulip Brooch/Pendant/Earring

Two Little Bicycles for the Boys & Durians

Today I only managed to make these two little bicycles, one each for William and Henry. It was like a "commercial break" for me before getting into more "serious" wire wrapping. But when they were done, headache decided to pay a visit again. So, I went to lie down (because I feel weak and its better to lie down) till almost 4pm when hubby said he wants to go find some durians. Since I am only required to sit down in the car (and continue with my sleep), I decided to tag along. 
Scroll further down for durian pictures.

Love Purple - Woven Amethyst Pendant

This woven pendant looks better in real than these pictures here. The pictures didn't show the real color of this faceted amethyst. A commissioned piece, I was given the free hands to design the wire wrapping. Since I love weaving, I decided to do just that :) Measurement: 2 cm width x 5cm long. wire woven faceted amethyst pendantwire woven faceted amethyst pendantwire woven faceted amethyst pendant wire woven faceted amethyst pendantside view of wire woven faceted amethyst pendant

Recent Stones Purchase

No new wire wrap piece today but I am showing some of my recent stones purchase - crystal clusters. So many ideas came to my mind when I was looking through them in the shop. Now I just hope I still remember them when it is time to play with them.

Another Purple Themed Bracelet & Earrings

What can I say? Purple is still the favorite color for some. Again, I have made few of similar bracelets that I am running out of ideas on how to wire wrap each of the beads so that it will not be the same as the previous ones. Seems to be repeating similar wire wrapping designs though. Any ideas out there? Hmmmm........
