Beaded Eyeglasses and Face Mask Strap

Tourmaline Face Mask, Eyeglasses Strap

.....and it is convertible to necklace or layered bracelet, similar with the earlier face mask / eyeglasses straps earlier - Striped Onyx Eyeglasses, Face Mask Strap and Watermelon Eyeglasses, Facemask Strap
This strap is however, slightly shorter at about 45 cm, for a smaller size person.
The Tourmaline is 3 mm in size, so this is a very dainty and delicate piece.
Added two 6 mm oval shaped Swarovski crystal on both ends, to give it a bit of sparkle :)

Beaded Eyeglasses, Face Mask Strap Cum Bracelet or Necklace

Black Striped Agate Onyx Eyeglasses Strap, Face Mask Strap

Like it our not, face masks is here to stay for a while.
At least until Covid-19 is gone for good. 
And hopefully, this will be soon. 
How we miss the mask free days when we were out and about.
Now, everywhere you go, face mask is compulsory.
Or else be ready to pay for hefty fine if you got caught without or with your mask down.

I find it a bit troublesome to put on and take off the mask, especially at work while you are alone in your own work station or office. The same when you would like to take a sip of water, take a bite of food or while eating at the pantry or coffee shop.
Most of the time, we will take off the mask and put it on the table if there is nowhere to hang except your arm or maybe or under your chin. 
Yeah, lots of people just pull the mask down under their chins.
The problem with table surface or any other surface, is that we do not know how clean/sanitize it is. Yes, we should be worried about that. 

So, this face mask strap helps to solve this problem.
You don't have to worry where to place your mask anymore. 
It will always be around your neck.

Material and Components:

The strap or chain consist of these:
  • 4 mm natural black striped agate onyx. Onyx is known to represent strength, focus, willpower. It is believed to imparts self control and confidence and stimulates the power of wise decision-making.
  • 1 pair stainless steel lobster clasps (non-tarnish)
  • 1 pair of wire wrapped "bunga terung" (eggplant flower)
  • Other connectors such as stainless steel jump rings and tubes.
The length of this face mask strap is about 68 cm (~27 in).

Style Options:

The best thing about this strap is that it is versatile and practical.
First, you can convert it into eyeglasses or sunglasses strap.
Add a pair of adjustable silicone grips on the temples.
It is very easy to install and remove and fits any size frames.

Unhook from face mask and hook on the eyeglasses.

Wire Wrapped Project by William

Wire Wrapped Pipa Center Piece, Swarovski Pendant and Earrings

These are William's recent wire wrapping projects.
They are birthday gifts for a friend.
I notice that he has a liking to natural colored stones.
If not mistaken, the stones are Picture Jasper.
The pipa center piece is for a bracelet.
Wire wrapped with 20g brass wire.
The earrings and pendant used 19g (thick!). 
Guess he wants them sturdy :)

Baking an AI Cake

I admit that I am not good with baking or cooking but sometimes just feel like trying out some easy recipes that I stumble upon online.
Today, however, my 2 boys decided to bake me this AI made cake recipe by Google. It is a Cake-Cookie hybrid
First and foremost, it is an easy recipe....and the result is not disappointing although sunken at the center. 
Just as described "It has the crispiness of a cookie and the, well, “cakiness” of a cake.".
We agreed that it is a bit too sweet. 
So, next Cakie must remember to reduce the sugar. 
Yeah, there will be a next Cakie.

Any pointer on how to avoid the cake from sinking?

Enjoy, stay safe and stay healthy.

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.

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.

  • 6 mm Rose Quartz and 4mm Yellow Agate
  • Length - about 7 inches (18 cm). These two are not adjustable but can be made into adjustable bracelets by adding jump rings like this and this
