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.

Up and Coming Wire Jeweler in the House

Introducing someone who has shown interest in this thing called Wire Jewelry. 

He did play around with wire and made me these 2 pairs of 'S' shaped earrings when he's 4 years old. 

two pairs of wire wrapped S earrings with gemstones made by william when he was 4 years old

He is now 17 years old. Time really flies while they are growing. 

He is slowly taking interest in creating wire jewelry again.

Very slowly as he will be sitting for his exam soon.

Here are some of his earlier wire wrapped pieces with stainless steel, copper and brass wires. They were his 2018 year end long school holiday projects. Most of them are practice pieces. Haha, yeah, it took me that long to post them today.

Samples of wirework projects by William

This guy is good with crafting and working with his hands. In his own words, he likes creating "original designs" e.g. wooden crossbow, Katana, knives, mechanical thingy, etc.

Those are for another day posting.

Wire Wrapped Bookmark - Little Fish with Pearl

The last one from the bookmarks collection is this fish-themed bookmark.
The eye is wrapped with a turquoise 4mm bicone Swarovski crystal.
A little pearl sits at the bottom near the stomach to act as a stopper.

Wire Wrapped Bookmarks - Flat Ends

Happy First day of the year 2020 to all WireBliss followers, readers, visitors.
I hope this new decade would be a great, happy, healthy, prosperous and successful one for all of you.

To start off the new year will be the continuation of yesterday's post for bookmarks.
We have a closer look at the "flat" bookmarks.
As you can see, the beads sit flat on the surface when in use.

The size of wire is 15 gauge.

Beaded Wire Wrapped Bookmarks

Is reading books a dying art?
The answer can be yes or no.
With the internet and modern devices such as computers, smartphones, tablets, ebook readers, etc, etc., our reading habit changes from the physical form of reading materials to digital forms instead.
It's so easy to access millions of reading material online and read to our heart content...of course if we have the time :)
So, what is the use of these beaded wire wrapped bookmarks if we read fewer and fewer books?
Well, some of us still love to hold and read physical books on our hands. 
The feeling of holding a book, the texture of the paper is just different from reading an ebook.
Like me...hehe....but I must admit reading more online though.

The wire bending to shape the bottom of the bookmark can be torturous. Yikes. Involve lots of finger and wrist power :D 
Still not finish editing and choosing the pics...will continue later.
