Airport and Donut Jade Pendant - Pipa Wrap

Here I am at the KKIA waiting for my flight home to Kuching.
Been here for the last 2 hours and I have another hour to wait.
So, here I am posting another wire wrapped piece which I have been wanting to post the last few days but interrupted by this travelling.

This is a very tiny donut jade pendant.
The donut jade itself is only about 1 cm in diameter.
A custom order by a close friend of MIL.
Had hard time figuring out how to wrap it and in the end decided that the pipa wrap would be the safest besides adding size to the tiny jade.

All through the making of this pendant, I was worried that I am going to break the jade.
Its so delicate but thankfully it didn't happen.
Ok, got to go...see you in Kuching :)

Happy Mother's Day, Wire Woven Ring - Adjustable

Happy Mother's Day to All Mothers in the whole wide world! psst...

It's been a while and now I am back to weaving this adjustable ring.
One of my favorite thanks to Louise of  jewelryspectrum.
Learned this from her almost two years ago and still loving it.
This time around, instead of 28ga, I used 26ga and change the weaving from 'S' weave to a straight one.
Still the same feeling and outcome.

Now, I better get my beauty sleep.
Sweet dreams and stay healthy.

Dead Hard Disk and a Little Teardrop Pendant

I have been rather quite the last few days.
That was because my laptop's hard disk died last Monday.
Just got it fixed this pm and now I am halfway personalizing my FireFox, files, menu, add-ons, etc. etc.
Lots of work there and just hope it will not die on me too soon. Touch wood! touch wood!
All was not lost as our IT person managed to backup all my files, mostly work related.
Backed up my hobby related files somewhere else.
Haven't been making as much jewelry as I'd love to but here is one completed last weekend.
Similar wrapping technique as the Fossilized Coral earlier but wit more swirls.
A rather clear and small stone.....

Wire Wrapped Fossilized Coral Pendant

Fossilized Coral! Fossilized Coral! (proper name is Agatized Fossil Coral)
Not sure why but I kept forgetting the name of this stone.
Most of the time, I only remember the coral part :)
This stone comes is several shades of colors - brown, reddish, gray, yellow, red as can be seen here.
The beautiful part of this stone is the flower like patterns in the stone.  Just awesome!

This pendant measures about 1in long and 0.8in wide.
I wrapped it in this particular way so that the "flowers" are all visible because that's the beauty of the stone.
