New Year Plan- What Are Yours?

Another 2 days to go, and 2009 will be here. What are your plans for the New Year? Party, parties and parties? If you are like me, I prefer to stay home and have a quite night and probably watch the countdown on tv. Been doing that for many many years now. I am a homebody...hehe!

As for New Year resolutions, I think I will have a few for 2009.
First and foremost is I NEED TO GET ORGANIZE. 2008 been a busy year for me. The whole year I have been trying to keep up with work (which involve lots of traveling) and my wire jewelry hobby. In the process, everything seems to be all over the place - *hmmm! I like my things to be in their proper place and neat* but there are things left undone or halfway done, files saved in temporary folders, pictures all over the desktop, new wire wrap techniques to learn and explore, long list of documents waiting to be read, books bought but haven't got the time to read, movies to watch, etc., etc. I can't even think straight or get them all down here. I REALLY NEED TO GET ORGANIZE. Maybe then I will be more focus.

So, what will you be doing this New Year and what are your New Year's Resolution?

Meet Me Halfway - Braided Wire Cuff

The idea for this braided wire cuff formed while I was making Facing the Cobra II the other day. If you are wondering, the wires really met halfway. I used 22ga and 28ga wires and stones are all tourmaline of different color shades except for the focal which is faceted Obsidian.

Sea Horse - Variation

This wire wrapped seahorse pendant is another piece that took me long time to complete - almost whole day. The shaping of the seahorse frame took the longest time. Finally completed this pendant this evening. Matching earrings to go but that would be for later or tomorrow.

Wire - 20ga for the frame and 28ga for weaving and coiling. holding the Wire Wrapped Seahorse Pendant with multiple colorful gemstones Wire Wrapped Seahorse Pendant with multiple colorful gemstonesI especially love the colors of the tourmaline (centre) when the sunlight shines through them.
