My wire working left some marks on him.....hmmmm! is that bad or good I wonder? drawing by William at 5yoThis one at the bottom is drawn by Henry, 2+. These are mommy, daddy, William, Henry, mama (grandma) and dada (grandpa). We all looks like potatoes! :D

Sparkly Necklace and Bracelet - Brown-themed

I wanted to keep these two pieces for myself as soon as I completed them. The color is sooooooo nice and so "me".....Although I am not a very sparkly person myself (personal preference), these two pieces are an exception.... But what to do, these are commissioned pieces. Out to the new owner. Oh ya! I used gold filled wire and 6mm faceted donut swarovski crystals for these two pretties.

Pretties made today

Here are three pretties I completed today, rushing them out for the Gawai Holidays next week. Gawai Dayak is a festival celebrated in Sarawak every 1st June by the natives races in Sarawak. This bracelet and ring set is based on Lisa Claxton's Flower Formation tutorial in Wirework Magazine (Special Issue).

Blooming Orchid

Planting orchids is hubby's hobby. This is one of his orchids currently in full bloom. Not sure of the name of this species - hubby gone fishing so can't reach him to ask...:) Anyway, this is just too pretty to ignore. So, I want to share the bloom with you here.

Two Pairs of New Earrings

Here are two dangle earrings completed recently. It's been a while since I made the "Twice Around the World" piece that I almost forgotten how to start. It turned out ok and the Czech fire polished beads below is still one of my favorite colors. Wire wrapped Czech fire polished earrings
