Rewired Necklace, Braided Ring, Lala Clams

Today is for relaxing.
Just taking my own sweet time and not worrying about the long list of "todo"
Went out for lunch with the family then off to Bako - as usual in search of fresh fish and seafood.
Got some little fish and lala clams for dinner tonight. Yummy!

Here's what I completed today.
Re-wiring of this Chinese bead necklace.
Added the two Labradorite (on top of the brown stones) for its "labradorescence".
Hope the wearer will benefits from the Labrodorite - strength, clarity, perseverance and integration.
Re-wiring of this Chinese bead necklace
Pretty heavy and plus size.
Braided ring with blue stone
This braided ring is an experimental piece....again!
Not so successful as the wire, 23ga is too thin for this design.
Can't do much as the size of the hole does not allow bigger wire :(
Will look for alternatives.
Have a great remaining weekend.

Studs oh Studs!

First the good news - at least for me :)
I got my Twice Around the World (TAW) tutorial pictures back!!!! :D
Haven't really look through them one by one but I think they are all there.
Not sure how it was done but I am a very happy woman since yesterday.
Now, I just need to find the time to write the tutorial.
Before that, got to finish few custom orders first. 

Finally in the mood to create again after the SD card incidence.
So, here are three wire wrapped stud earrings I completed this morning.

All Gone!!!

My sixth sense is playing trick on me.
Right now I feel like screaming at the top of my voice.
I mentioned about the TAW Bracelet tutorial and
how my sixth sense whispered that I should start doing it.
So I did! Last night and this morning.
This morning I was taking the last picture.
I was saying to myself while positioning the bracelet - last pix and off to download and editing.
Switch on the camera and what did I see?
"MEMORY CARD ERROR"!!!!!!!!!
Huh! what's this? On - off, on - off, on - off still there!!!!
It won't go away and the camera won't snap.
What have I done wrong?
PANIC! Sweating!!! switch on the fan still thinking what's wrong.
Took the SDHC card out and try to check with the computer.
It says "The disk in drive E is not formatted".
Can't even have a peek at all the pix taken.
Call a friend and he said its a 50-50 chance to recover....duuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh

Feel very tired and frustrated.
Don't know what to do.

TAW (Twice Around the World) Wire Wrapped Braceletmy Sixth sense whispered to me that I should start doing the tutorial for TAW (Twice Around the World) Wire Wrapped Bracelet.

Meanwhile, here is another deliciously wrapped
piece/s for your viewing pleasure :)
When was the last time I made something for myself?
Can't remember exactly but this one is for me :P
Mixed gemstones long necklaces
Why I love them so much?
* There are 5 individual necklaces here.
* No clasp! Yay! Slip on just like slip on slippers
   and I am ready to go.
* Easy and no fuss and suitable for any occasion.
* As there are 5 of them, I can choose to wear
   just 1, 2, or 3, or 4 or all 5 at once.
* The are very light weight. The chain are really tiny!
   If you look closely, the smallest wire loop that I made are
   still like 3 times bigger the the chain link.
* The stones, they are mixture of all my favorite gems,
   pearls and crystals - tourmaline, peridot, garnet,
   agate, pearls, moonstone, amethyst, fluorite,
   rutilated quartz, citrine, aquamarine, prehnite,
   cherry quartz, Swarovski crystals, etc.
***Have a wonderful weekend!
