Wire Wrap Stud Earrings - New Design

My "reply to comment" is back in order. How did I do it? I took the shortest and easiest way out...at least for me, as I don't think I'd be able to find out the problem (and solve it) on my own.....technically challenged.
So, I uninstalled, downloaded and re-installed Chrome!!! Thanks to Google I was able to get back all my bookmarks, etc. and at the same time get rid of some of the apps installed but never used.

Anyway, I hope you have a great Chinese New Year (CNY) and holidays (for those celebrating).
Mine is so and so, punctuated with unpleasantness here and there.
It was a wet CNY and kind of gloomy on most days, till this moment.
Another day more and its back to work.....
The whole week almost gone....and still lots to do.

Today, I am sharing with you a new design for a wire wrap stud earrings.
No soldering or gluing involved here.
Just plain wire wrapping.

This earrings was designed (special request) and made to match a bracelet of the same coin glass beads (sorry, no picture as I handed the bracelet to the new owner as soon as it was done).
Thanks Marc for getting me thinking and came up with this studs design.

Can't Comment!

Arrrrrrgh! I can't reply to comment on my blog.
Why? Why? Why? Been trying for two days.

Dear readers, do you have the same experience before?
How do you solve this?
I have never experience this before.

Looks like I have to reply to comment here.
Hope there is no problem publishing.

Banae, I hope you are reading this.

What gauge of wire are you utilizing here? I am just starting and thought this would be an easy item to make to learn how to work with the wire and tools before I purchased your other tutorials. THank you.

Twice Around the World Set

Its rainy days here in Kuching.
After 4 or 5 hours of rain this morning, the roadside drain is overflowed.
This rarely happen and I have a feeling lots of places in the city are flooded by now.
A friend got caught and stuck in the traffic jam on the way to work.
Hubby called to let me know not to go out this morning as most roads (on his way to work) are flooded and cars are stuck in between.
There goes my leave. I am suppose to get an official matter done this morning.
Anyway, this is a good opportunity to post my recent pretties for your viewing.

These three pictures of the Sparkly Rings above were taken with Samsung G2 (8MP) phone camera - inspired by Heather in her post here. Being kiasu, I tried it out this morning and they turned up quite good.

No color editing was done except for cropping and inserting the logo.
