Don's Bow Earrings - Wire Wrapped Stud Earrings

Louise and Don are very talented wire artists that I got to know from one of the jewelry forums that I joined. I feel very honored that they are interested with my Wire Wrapped Stud Earrings Tutorial :) The amazing thing is Don came up with his own version of the stud earrings with the addition of "LITTLE BOWS". Very cute aren't they?! Louise said:

"You know Don, if he can tie a knot, he will"

Louise and Don also write tutorials. I have both and they are both a hit! If you have the time, do check them out at their FB - Kingfisher Designs. Their tutorials are very well written, easy to understand and I can assure you that you will be able to create the projects taught with flying colors. Here are their tutorials: Woven Wave Ring - Adjustable and versatile. Very popular! My version, quite a few of them and here are just some of them. Tucuman Bracelet - Very unique and one of a kind. My versions here and here. I should revisit these two designs. Been a while. WireBlissMei

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! WireBlissMei

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! WireBlissMei

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 WireBlissMei
