Wire Jewelry - Pearly Wire Woven Cuff

Hello January 2014!!!
Here is my first post of the year.
A pearly woven wire cuff.

Used lots and lots of 30 gauge wire.
Not easy to keep them align to the shank as sometimes I pulled too hard and other time not hard enough.
It's easier at the start but got difficult towards the center of the cuff where it's wider.
Look at the edges, they are not smooth.
But, there is beauty in imperfection :)

Have a productive January!

Goodbye 2013, Welcome 2014

A brand new year is just 3 hours away.
Lets welcome it with our best smile.

Wishing you all, readers of this blog a very HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014.
May all your dreams and wishes come true and all resolutions fulfilled and accomplished.
Thank you for visiting over the years, and please continue to do so :).
Your support is very much appreciated.

I am looking forward to a smooth new year filled with more wire jewelry projects.

Wire Jewelry - Freestyle Wire Wrapped Amethyst Pendant

Another asymmetrical wire wrapped pendant.
This was actually done right after the Agate Pendant earlier.
Yeah, I thought this one would be easier but I was wrong.
Similarly difficult and wasted more wires on this one.
Maybe I am not cut out for wire wrapping asymmetrical stones :( ???

Anyway, I hope you'd enjoy pictures of this wire wrapped pendant from different angles and can draw some inspirations from it.

While at it, Christmas is just around the corner.
For very very very late and last minute DIY gifts for that particular someone, check out these two quick projects you can whipped up in minutes (within 30 minutes the most).

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Wire Jewelry - Asymmetrical Agate Pendant

This is one of the more difficult piece that I have ever wire wrapped although it looks simple enough.
Mainly because of the lack of symmetry of the Agate as well as the thickness of the stone.
I was thinking "this will be my last asymmetrical pendant (without hole) that I am going to wire wrap...arggghh. I am not taking order for this type of stone anymore!!!"
Yikes!

Wasted a fair bit of wire on this as I restarted at least 3 times at the viking knitting stage as well as the outer wire wrapping stage.

What else can I do?
I just hope the new owner likes it as it is.

See how thick the Agate is at the top end?

Just glad I got it done.

Looks yummy though :)

Wire Craft - Sparkly Crsytal Bracelets

The sparkly season is back.
This time around, its the Wire Wrapped Swarovski Crystal Bracelet.
Although they were wire wrapped with the simple wire loops, it took me about 45 minutes to an hour to complete one bracelet.
Wire size - 26 gauge
Swarovski Crystal - 3mm bicone
Clasp - Lobster clasp

If you would like to try DIY this sparkly crystal bracelet, there are lots of free online tutorials that teach you how to wire wrap this simple/basic loop.
The most basic tools required - round nose pliers, wire, clasp and a big dose of healthy crafty juice :)
I checked out Pinterest and here are all the available tutorials that you can check out.
