NEW TUTORIAL - Wire Wrapped Butterfly Pendant

The clear and close up pictures together with description will guide you every step of the way to complete your first butterfly pendant :) Happy Sunday and Happy Wrapping all.

ITS OUT - New Tutorial | Wire Wrapped Tulip Pendant

My new tutorial for a Wire Wrapped Tulip Pendant that you can also make into earrings or brooches is out. Of all my tutorials, this one has taken me the longest time. I actually started it sometime in March. Halfway through I decided to retake the whole new set of pictures, not satisfied with the earlier ones. Its hard work but finally its out and I hope it will be another inspiration for you. The design for this wire wrapped tulip is one of a kind. The story behind this design started when a customer requested for a flower brooch back in Mid 2008 - First Tulip Brooch. The rest is history as the saying goes :) What's in this tutorial? This tutorial teaches you how to create a One of a Kind Wire Wrapped Tulip with five (5) petals. Although you need to know the basic weaving technique, the pictorial instruction will guide you step by step until you successfully complete a tulip. Once finished, this tulip can be turned into a pendant, earrings or brooch. Its a good deal...hehe :) Material and Tools? You don't have to run to the store and purchase additional materials or tools if you are already a wire jeweler. No special tools required. Just the basic material and tools - wire and beads, round nose pliers, flat nose pliers, bend nose pliers, nylon jaw pliers and wire cutters and most important of all a dose of creativity and inspiration. Maybe a bit of patience...with the weaving :) What are you waiting for? Go on to my etsy shop and check it out - click here and off you go. Thank you all for your continued support - not only for those who has been purchasing (and will be purchasing) but also those who only read my posts, glance through my posts and those who accidentally discover my blog and inspired. Last but not least, thank you for leaving your comments here...that will make my day? Just be kind :) WireBlissMei

Simple and nice! Another with copper wire and malachite - 8mm ...and this one just to show how it looks like on my ear. A bit blur there...took the picture myself so tried very hard to get a good shot. WireBlissMei

NEW TUTORIAL - Sparkly 'O' Studs | Athena's Shield

Athena - Greek Goddess of Wisdom, of household arts and crafts, of spinning and weaving, of textiles. Inventor of the flute, the plough and the ox-yoke, the horse bridle and the chariot.

Following last night's post, the tutorial for this sparkly stud earrings is finally done and now listed in my etsy shop and in this blog. This lesson teaches you how to make a pair of sparkly circlet stud earrings with tiny swirls at the sides. The circlet measures about 1.5 cm in diameter (0.6in). Crispy clear close-up pictures will guide you through step by step to complete the project. Materials and tools used for one pair of earrings are detailed out in the tutorial. Here are some more details on the tutorial: * 15 pages printable PDF file * 50 crisp and clear close-up pictures with instructions * File size – 1.0MB Happy wrapping and thank you for dropping by.

PREVIEW New Tutorial - Ring "O" Studs

Guess I pre-announce the publication of my next tutorial first.

The idea for this design came quite unexpectedly. The plan was I wanted to try out the bird's nest pendant but idea struck midway and I created this Ring O Studs. Funny name ya?

Do you have suggestions for a better name? I am very bad with naming my jewelry.

Hope to finalise the tutorial by tomorrow and get it listed at my etsy right after that :)

So, wait for the announcement.
