Adjustable Woven Ring - Tiger Eye

Adjustable Woven Ring - Tiger EyeThis, I made couple of days ago.
Moving away from Black Onyx, this is Tiger Eye - welcoming the year of the Tiger :) Grrrrrrrrr..............

We are almost done with the cleaning and shopping. Just some last minute preparation for the reunion dinner and we are all ready to welcome the Lunar New Year.
I am looking forward to the long holidays rather than the celebration (shhh! don't tell people at home), hoping to finish off few projects that's been KIVed since last year. Yay! Go Mei! Go!

Lord of the Rings - Adjustable

Hi Giveaway winners, have you started your Sparkly Crystal Ring project?
Care to share some pictures of your first sparkly? :) Just hoping

Anyway, I am back to 'work' today, finishing this ring here and also waxed the car. Part of the Chinese New Year spring cleaning.

The new owner stopped by to pick it up this evening and she is loving it too.
She is calling it "My Lord of the Rings" :)
Planning to make one with gemstones but need to find really tiny stone measuring about 3mm.

Do you know that it cost $160 to get our car wash and wax here in Kuching.
I am referring to a normal car wash center...not those expensive looking center.
We were told the price will increase this Thursday as it draws nearer to the big day. Duh!
I dunno if that is the normal price for waxing as I have never done it so $160 is waaaaaay too expensive for me.
I'd rather use that amount of money on other things like gemstones and wires :) :)! 
So, as with previous years, we DIY. 
With hubby and another helper, it took us only about an hour to wax my little car.
And I am happy that I saved $160 for gems and wires...hehehe!
I hope you have a great weekends too!

Day and Night Themed Wire Wrapped Bracelet - Pearl and 8mm black Swarovski Crystal.
The Sunday Market is a great place for ideas although most of the pretties sold there are stretch bracelets.
I saw a combination of 2 different colors stone for a stretch bracelet which is inspired me to create this day & night themed bracelet.
Added a heart shaped wired clasp to make the bracelet less boring :)
Shall be making more of them, with different colors stones though.
