Frequently Asked Questions

I am referring to questions related to my Tutorials. Starting this year, from time to time, I will post some of the questions from my customers here for the benefits of others as well. Here are two of the most frequently asked questions I received and my answers for them:

Question 1. "After I buy it (the tutorial/s) if I need help with it would you be open to being ask questions if need be?" Answer: Of course! I welcome questions and very convo friendly. Your success in making a piece based on my Tutorial/s is most important to me. Question 2: Do you provide supply list for material used in your Tutorials? Answer: Unfortunately no but rest assured that material used in my tutorials are material you can easily find in any craft shops or bead shops. Otherwise, they can easily be substituted with other similar material. Eg. You may substitute an 8mm Swarovski Crystal with your favorite 8mm gemstones.

If you have further questions relating to my Tutorials, feel free to ask me. You may also email me at meiky6@gmail.com. Otherwise, leave me a comment here and I shall get back to you :)

More Please! Sparklies

For the last two nights, I have been working on these sparklies. 50 of them. Yeah! A whole bunch of them and my fingers are sore from holding the crystals, especially the 4mm Swarovski Crystal while wrapping them. They can be quite painful if you keep holding them on the same spot of your fingertip - in this case the tip of my pointing finger. These are called Sparkly Crystal Ring and they are similar the following which I have done before (Wow! quite a lot of them now that I am listing them here):

Wire Wrap Stud Earrings By Linda of CrazedMagpie

Here is what Linda has to say about her earrings made based on my recent tutorial - Wire Wrap Stud Earrings.

Hi Mei,

Your tutorial was very clear and concise! See?

The first picture is my first try - came out pretty good! The second, I got brave a little too fast and switched to silver....not as good - but I think the wire was heavier. It didn't want to bend for anything! Those two inspired me to go bigger and bolder although not necessarily better with the third pair.

Now I'll take my sore fingers off to do some housework!
