Miniature Wire Tree

Miniature Wire Tree Since I am a bit slack these days, I stumbled upon this blog - The Pleasure of Tiny Things belonging to Diem Chau while stumbling here and there the other day. I made it a point to try out her tutorial for this miniature tree and finally made one with Japanese Beads and 26 ga stainless steel wire. While you are here, check out her work with the crayons - Just Awesome! Miniature Wire TreeWireBlissMei

Happy Father's Day!

I am taking this opportunity to wish a very Happy Father's Day! to all reader who are someone's fathers. Emm...confusing myself. Anyway, seems like my creative muse still refuses to come back. Here are few items I purchased yesterday - a stainless steel "dog tag" with my name engraved on it (just for fun!), 3 cabs and two key chains each for William and Henry. Got them dirt cheap and engraving looks easy. Gets me thinking of getting an engraver for myself :) Duh! coral agate, fosilized coralcoral agate, fosilized coral WireBlissMei

I Heard What You Want!

The poll ended two days ago but I procrastinated in posting them till now. For those who participated in this mini survey, a "BIG Thank You" from me. Now I know what you want, hmm...at least the majority....:D, although only 29 voted. The Wire Wrapped Butterfly Pendant is the most popular judging by the poll result (48%). This is followed by Facing the Cobra Bracelet (24%) and Twice Around the World Bracelet (17%). I better get to work soon...:D WireBlissMei

Wire Wrapped/Coiled Earrings - Fruity

This pair of earrings is a long overdue project. Been many many moons. Sorry! "S"....:) Was delaying a "bit" when I thought about all the wire coiling needed. However, I learn an easy way to coil wire (with a drill) which speed up the whole process a thousand time and save me all the sore fingers from Ms. Perri (thank you! thank you! Ms. Perri for being such a generous and sharing person). Anyway, "S", I hope you like this pair of earrings. Many many champagne colored pearls, Swarovski Crystals and tourmaline and the large faceted champagne colored drop crystals. All component of the earrings are handcrafted including the ear hooks. The earrings measure about 6.5cm (2.5in) from top to bottom. Weight....hmmm.....1kg each...haha! just jokinglah!....but you can feel the weight pulling down your earlobes though.... hmmm...how heavy is that?.....but no worry, as long as they attract all the attention...hehe~:D Wire Wrapped/Coiled Earrings - Fruity Wire Wrapped/Coiled Earrings - Fruity Wire Wrapped/Coiled Earrings - Fruity Holding the Wire Wrapped/Coiled Earrings - Fruity Wire Wrapped/Coiled Earrings - Fruity WireBlissMei

Turquoise - Modified Monstrance

It was originally like this! "Bib", the new owner however requested that I replace the focal with this 8mm turquoise. While wire wrapping the turquoise as focal, the idea to wrap the 4 bicone crystals on the 4 corners struck me. I quickly emailed her and asked what she think of the addition and her reply is ......"ohhhh, i lurv it Mei....do proceed." wire wrapped swirly cross with egyptian coil bracelet - 8mm turquoise focalwire wrapped swirly cross with egyptian coil bracelet - 8mm turquoise focal wire wrapped swirly cross with egyptian coil bracelet - 8mm turquoise focal WireBlissMei
