Wire Jewelry - Wire Wrapped Rose Studs
This pair of rose earrings was made a while back.
Pictures were kept to collect dust...haha!
The pair is however with its new owner now.
Wire wrapped with 20 gauge stainless steel wire, this is not a difficult project and does not involve lots of tools.
All you need is wire, wire cutter, something round to act as mandrel (e.g. marker pen), and file for filling the stud's end.
I have a tutorial for similar earrings here - click on the links:
Etsy - Rose Earrings Tutorial
I have it at Artfire as well. However, it is easier at Etsy or Craftsy as the tutorial is instantly downloadable. You do not have to wait for me to email you the tutorial. Artfire does not have this facility.
Have a great Sunday.

Offwire - Potato Roses
Today's post is about food.
Ya, I rarely post about food.
There are many recipes available online if you google for it.
This one here is from my Pinterest collection - Potato Roses at Pinterest
However, I must post this because it is one of the easiest to prepare and the boys love them.
So, here is my potato roses.

This one here was back in December last year.
They love having them with creamed corn.

Wire Jewelry - Tree of Life Pendant
I said I will post more often.
But, my more often is not that often.
Another long overdue post here.
This Tree of Life Pendant (TOL) and bracelet is for our dearest primary school English teacher - Mona San Louis.
We have not seen her for like more than 30 years!
But she looks great and beautiful as ever.
I didn't attend the reunion but just managed to get this TOL pendant and bracelet on time, to attend on my behalf.
I don't remember ever making a TOL pendant before, so this is a first.
I used peridot, garnet and tourmaline.
There are many tutorials (fee and paid) to make similar Tree of Life pendant online. Check them out here - https://goo.gl/DkqzlR
This should keep you busy browsing thru them.
Happy weekend.

Wire Jewelry - Infinity Bracelet
Time really flies.
It's been 4 months since my last post.
Many things took place in between but I am not going into details in this post. Maybe some other time.
OK, today's post is about this gemstone Infinity Bracelet.
Actually this bracelet was completed back in July.
Yeah, took me that long to post.
Do excuse the photo quality- its handphone quality pics.
As mentioned before, my camera went "kong" many months already.
Been looking around for a new camera but yet to get a new one.
Still with the purple and blue stones - Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli and Amazonite.
This infinity bracelet is not difficult to make.
You only need a piece of wire - size 20g, 21g or 22g - and the gemstones.
Doesn't take that long too.

Wire Jewelry - Wire Wrapped Turquoise Studs
Hello, long time no see!
July is already coming to an end.
Half of 2016 is gone and it really feels like we are rushing to December.
Hopefully, the next half year would be more productive for you and me.
Meanwhile, here are 3 pairs of studs that I actually get done a while back.
See you soon.

Wire Jewelry - Purple Cat Earrings
By now, you must be very bored with my cat earrings postings.
Before I bore you some more, here is a bit about the city I live in - Kuching
Kuching City is in the State of Sarawak, Malaysia.
Kuching is a Malay word for Cat, therefore Kuching City is Cat City, literally translated.
There are many theories as to the origin of the City. You can read them here.
Not all are related to cats though.
You must be thinking that we have many cats roaming the city to be called a Cat City.
Not really, but you can find other types of cat all over the city such as this one here.
These green cats are found at a traffic light junction.
There must be over twenty of them watching over the traffic :)
We also have a muzium dedicated to cats - the Kuching Cat Museum.
Don't expect to find live cats here though.
Check out the above link or just google for Kuching Cat Museum to get an idea.
The Amethyst looks better in the above picture.
Must be the background light.
Come visit the Cat City :)

Enough of Cat City, back to another pair of my wire wrapped cat earrings.
This time around wire wrapped with 20g stainless steel and a purple gemstone.
