A Very Sparkly Lolly - Wire Wrapped Sparkly Crystal Rings

Looks yummy?! Those are the 48 sparkly crystal rings I completed today. Made with gold filled wire, pearls, and Swarovski Crystals. Took about 6 hours to complete them. Racing against time :) Someone once mentioned to me that she can make them with eyes close :) I have made lots of them but still with eyes wide open :) Maybe need glasses later...its coming, the old age factor. Enjoy the sparklies. WireBlissMei

Wired bird's Nest Tutorials

Just sharing what fellow artists has recently shared. Someone asked me months back if I have the tutorial for a wired bird's nest pendant. The answer is no but then shortly after that, Cathe Holden of Just Something I Made shared a tutorial on how to make this little cute wired bird nest. Then very recently, Deryn also shared her own bird's nest tutorial (for a small fee). Could it be the spring season that people are making lots of bird's nests? Anyway, both tutorials look great although you may notice some differences in the techniques. I haven't got the time to make them yet but will be soon. If you have the time, check out both sites and get inspired. WireBlissMei

Old Keys

Cool find! I have seen lots of people making jewelry out of keys - old keys. If I don't make wire wrap jewelry, these keys hold no value and would be useless to me. But now, I see everything old in a new light. You can actually turn something old into beautiful jewelry pieces. Back to this bunch of key here, they are quite old and I think they are made of brass. Not sure about the darker colored one though. For now, they are not mine yet but they are in my safekeeping unless someone wants to claim it :) WireBlissMei

In "Cleaning" Mood Again

Its that time again...I am in "cleaning and clearing" mood again. And the results, I changed my blog layout again. What do you think of the new layout? Personally, this is my favorite so far. This morning, I took out the river rocks/stones that I have been collecting and gave them a good wash. Feeling happy just washing and looking at them but still have no idea what I am going to do with them :) Just realized that our kitchen sink is a very good place to take pictures with lots of natural light. Last but not least, I cleaned and wiped two bedrooms too....and now the weekend is almost gone. Feel very tired now so Good night! for now. WireBlissMei
