Wire Jewelry - Roses Are Red - Adjustable Cuff

These two adjustable wire wrapped rose cuffs were completed a week ago.
However, I only managed to take pictures of them yesterday and between that a day have passed.

This two wire wrapped cuffs are constructed using the same method as the Adjustable Wire Wrap Rose Ring. (Click this link for the tutorial).

For these cuffs, I used 18ga stainless steel wire (they are tough!) and adorned one of them with Swarovski Crystals and a smaller rose at the side. For the smaller rose, I use 20ga wire.
I think the 3mm Swarovski crystals are too big for this wire rose.
Kind of over-populating the wire rose.

This wire only rose is kind of plain and bare.
I am doing something about it.
Keep posted and have a great Sunday.

I have recently updated all my tutorials - edited steps, replaced some pictures, removed non-relevant links, spell checks, standardized the document formatting, etc.

Cover page of tutorials at my Etsy Shop (as well as Craftsy) have also been replaced with minima design which I feel is easier on the eyes.

Yeah! Eyes growing old prefer non-cluttered look :)

I hope you enjoy the new look (until I change my mind *wink*wink*) and have a great week.

Keep Busy, Blogging from Smartphone

This should keep me busy for many many hours. Lots and lots of Sparkly Rings are on the way.

I am testing out Blogger blogging app at the moment and if this post go live successfully, I may be using it a lot more in future.

The reviews on this app don't seems to be very positive so I am crossing my fingers and hope for the best.
Update: It works. I published successfully from my smartphone!
Happy Sunday my dear readers :)

Wire Wrap Porcelain Bead Pendant

How time flies.
Tomorrow (Sunday) is the 15th day i.e. last day of Chinese New Year.
In the last 15 days..... actually more than that, I have not touch my pliers, wires and stones.
I miss them of course.
They are just sitting there waiting for me.
Soon, soon! Coming soon.

This piece of wire wrap porcelain pendant was completed last month.
Simple coiling and wire wrapping.
