Wire Wrapped Copper Butterfly

A simple copper wire butterfly.
Just simple swirls wrapped together with 24ga copper wire.
Very roughly done as I am actually planning for a pair of earrings but this one is quite heavy.

The wings (swirls) consist of very thick copper wire - maybe 16ga or thicker. 

 

Look out for my Etsy Sales very soon...:)

Purple-Themed, Net Connection and X'mas

The net connection was really bad for the last two days. It was down on Sunday and when it got back on, it seems to have slowed down a lot. It was down again last night so I went to bed early. Maybe it was back in the middle of the night, dunno! but it was ok this morning.

If I delayed on emailing tutorials to you for the last two days, I apologize but I am blaming Telekom for the delay. I hope it will get back to normal soon.

To perk up the day, here is another purple-themed bracelet to share with you.

Since X'mas season would be here soon, I will be announcing X'mas Sales for items on my Etsy Shop very soon.
So, keep posted. 

Identical Twins | Brooch

If you do notice, I changed my blog layout again. Maybe its old age or something, I found that the older layout as too cluttered and very "painful" for the eyes. So, I spent the last few days looking for a minimalist, simple, white, 3 columns blog templates. Looked here, looked there, tested here and tested there, in the end I went back to Ourblogtemplates.com. Theirs are still the best especially for people like me, not very computer/or technically savvy when it comes to html/css coding, etc. Of course there were few others that I really like especially those with tabs for the sidebars (hint! hint! to Ourblogtemplates ;) - this will be perfect) as this really save a lot of space but there are always something else lacking such as slow to upload, can't change the colors without coding, etc.
Ok! enough about blog templates and here's pictures of my identical twins.

 

Psst! not bragging but I am very happy with the pictures taken with my Canon G11. These two pictures were taken outdoor, not edited except for reducing their file sizes.
