Planning to Oxidize

wire wrapped sparkly swarovski crystal ringThis sparkly ring is really tiny - Size 8. The new owner would like it to be oxidized but I have not done so yet.  I seldom get customer who'd like their pieces oxidize but I am not complaining :)

My First Oxidized Ring

Genny's World - Sparkly Crystal Ring


I kept forgetting to post this wire wrapped sparkly ring made by Genny of Genny's World.  

Genny said:

"......I have to say I love the ring! I made one very easily following your step by step instructions and it came out more beautiful than I could have expected!
I've since made a couple more. I need to buy some more supplies so I can get more of a variety. Thank you again for all the work you put into writing your concise tutorials. They make it so much fun to make jewelry! Genny"
Thank you Jenny for sharing this Sparkly Crystal Ring of yours ;D
Happy weekend all!

Feel the Blue-Blue Themed Wire Wrapped Bracelet

wireblissmei wire wrapped bracelet feel the blue
Sunday is gone! gone! Been feeling blue, green, green and pink for the last two days. That's because I have been making these type of wire wrapped bracelets the last few days. One thing about wire wrapping these type of bracelets is that I got to use some of my odd bead collection. Beads that I do not know what to do with as they are in odd numbers. Sometimes there is only one of them :) This piece here is wrapped mostly with 22ga wire and measures about 19cm but extendable to 20cm as I added 3 jump rings at the end.

Wire Wrapped Bracelet - Green & Pink Themed

It's almost noon (Sunday) and I haven't been doing much. Went to the Sunday Market this morning and bought more than ten magazines. Looks like I need to put aside some time for reading which means less time for other things including wire jewelry.

I really really need to sort out my time and reorganize how I use them. The biggest issue is too little time but so many things to do.

Do you have the same problem?
Hmmm...now I am off to find some time to sort out my time problem.

At least I managed to get this bracelet done yesterday.

Happy Sunday everyone!
