Passing of a Centenerian

It has been almost a week and it has been busy one. Not busy with wire jewelry but on family matters. We bid our last goodbye to our dearest beloved grandfather/great grandfather last Friday who lived and enjoyed life to the fullest right up to almost a century, 95 to be exact. We will miss him very much but we also know that he is now with someone who loves him more. Goodbye "Ah Kong" and we love you always.

NEW TUTORIAL - Wire Wrapped Butterfly Pendant

Finally its OUT! This one took the longest time to finish. Apology to those who requested for it and waited for so long. Not because it is difficult to make but because I got distracted by lots of things, happenings and responsibilities along the way. Anyway, Check it out at my etsy shop - Wire Wrapped Butterfly Pendant Although i categorized this project as an intermediate level project, it will be easy for anyone even a beginner. The clear and close up pictures together with description will guide you every step of the way to complete your first butterfly pendant :) Happy Sunday and Happy Wrapping all. Here's to Wire Wrapped Butterfly Pendant!

Modelling the Rose Ring

One of the happiest moment for me is when people say they love my wire jewelry creations. Today, Pat emailed me some pictures of her and friends modelling the rose rings and said.

Mei, You must be proud seeing us modelling your rings! ahahahaha!

Yes! Yes very proud and happy. Thanks for sharing Pat.

Crafts Promotion at Kuching Waterfront

Today is the last day of the Malaysian Crafts Promotion at Kuching Waterfront. It started on July 31st. It was really a hassle to go there as one side of the road is closed for traffic and tents are set up there. Made few rounds until I decided to park about half a kilometer away. Overall, I am quite dissappointed as there are more textiles stalls than other crafts. The crowd was small...maybe because it was noon time and its so so so hot. Enjoy the pictures here: Click on the photo to enlarge.

Rose! Rose! I Still Love You

My photo editing is not done yet but I took some time off to make these Rose! Rose! I Love You wire wrapped rings this afternoon. A really quick project and quite simple. Off to their new owners very soon.

Lecia's Sparkly Crystal Ring

Another artist I get to know through my Sparkly Crystal Ring Tutorial is Lecia of Lecia's Designs. This picture here is the Sparkly Crystal Ring made by Lecia. Very well done Lecia! :) Besides creating jewelry, Lecia is a lampwork artist. She showcases here creations at her website. I browsed around and found myself at her studio, and all I can say is WOW!, wish one day I'll receive similar birthday present :). If you read my post the other day - work station - you'll know why. This are Lecia's comments on the tutorial:

This tutorial is easy to follow, well illustrated and written. I had a ring made in less than 15 mins. TY! Thanks again for a fabulous tutorial! I will be making those rings for a long time, the ladies love them!

Yeap! The ladies really love this ring. Same here. Thank you Lecia for allowing me to share this.
