New Section in My Etsy Shop - Borneo Ceramic Beads

Today, I finally added a new section in my Etsy Shop - Borneo Ceramic Beads Supply. If you are interested with Borneo Ceramic Beads, check out this section. I am always in awe with these handcrafted beads and would like to bring it to you although in not very large quantity but enough for you to make some pretties out of them. I will be listing more from time to time. So, do drop by my etsy shop today.

Borneo Ceramic Bead Earrings, Sterling Silver

wire wrap earrings with Borneo ceramic beads For a long time now, I have been wanting to wire wrap some of my Borneo ceramic beads and list them in my etsy shop. Finally last night I made a pair of earrings. It is now listed in my etsy shop if you are interested. This pair consist of two unique handcrafted Borneo ceramic beads wrapped with sterling silver wire and 4mm bicone Swarovski Crystals. Each bead measures about 10mm. The handmade nature of the process and the natural individuality of the clay and colors result in variations from bead to bead. As you can see here, the sizes of these two beads vary. One bigger than the other. So, if you are looking for perfection, you will not find it in these beads. I shall be listing more soon in the form of other Borneo ceramic beads. They are really lovely and unique.

Sparkly Pearl Ring & Mackintosh Wire Wrap Ring

Arrrrg! Having internet connection again. Been trying to post for the last hour but the pix don't want to upload. Is it my computer or is it blogger?...........stress. Anyway, here are two rings I got done today. Both are commissioned pieces. Was planning to finish more pretties but busy with errant whole morning and looking for beads in the afternoon. Basically been spending money today :) Sparkly Pearl Ring & Mackintosh Wire Wrap Ring
Sparkly Pearl Ring & Mackintosh Wire Wrap Ring This is a commissioned piece made based on a tutorial by Jim Mackintosh. Making this ring is very challenging as I use round stainless steel wire while Jim recommended soft square wires. No choice here for me. The end result is ok and just hope the owner will like it too :) Mackintosh Wire Wrap Ring
