Woven Rings - Gift for a Friend

The three gold filled wire woven rings are made for a good friend of mine and her mom - GK. Her birthday is coming very soon and I hope that these rings for her two little fingers will bring her all the "ong" (good fortune/luck) she needs :) I use Citrine for both rings as Citrine attracts wealth and people who can prosper us. For the other gold filled ring, I use Obsidian and this is a gift for GK's mom. They say Obsidian helps to promote grounding and release tension and energy blockages. The last ring, black onyx woven ring (stainless steel wire) is a commissioned piece.

My Other Addiction

Not many knows about this addiction of mine. Not that I am keeping it a secret! Pst! I have few other addictions - but that will be for another time. OK! I am addicted to PEN, and I love to collect them. I can't resist "browsing" through the pens/pencils section whenever I am in the mall or bookshops. Always looking for new pens and designs. It does not matter whether it is a cheap or expensive pen (expensive to me is more than $100 for a pen - can't afford too expensive addiction anyway!). So far, I have more than 100 pens in my collection :), excluding those in the office. I rarely use them, just like to collect them. And here is one that I got for myself during lunch break today (Another pen! that would be hubby's reaction :D) - its a Zebra slide pen, my first slide pen actually - I think they are the "in pen" now. Love the green color, actually I also like the purple and turquoise color but I can only choose one and decided on the green. A similar Parker Slide Pen is in the next display but cost about 6x more at RM119 - a bit expensive but if I "want" it I can still change it to "affordable" (wicked Mei) :) Anyway, I will try out the Zebra slide pen first. I might go back for the Parker pen later....hehehe Anyone out there who is also PEN ADDICT??

Tulip Brooch - Different Leaves

I ran out of the turquoise glass bead leaves for this tulip brooch so as an alternative, I tried this diamond shaped blue glass bead and swarovski crystal. Not bad at all :) Don't you think so? Just trying to make myself feel good here but who says a leave has to look like a leave :)

What We Did Today

Nothing much! We went out for a ride up country looking for buah langsat (a local fruit), but ended up with bananas instead. Henry really loves bananas, wall up two at one go. William is not a fruit person so he didn't touch the bananas. He'd rather pretend to be sleeping................... Comfortably napping on grandma's lap after the two bananas.... and very happy after that..........................

Sparkling Pipa Pendant and Earrings Set

This set was started last weekend but only managed to complete today. This is a commissioned set based on Corra's Pipa Knotting method. The pendant measures about 2.5 in long while the earring is about 1.8 in from end to end. Used all Swarovski Crystal for this set - teardrop Swarovski Crystals with mix of 4mm, 5mm and 6mm bicone Swarovski Crystals. It will be a sparkly Xmas for the owner..:D
