Sparkly Crystal Rings Again :)

This is what I have been working on for over a week - Sparkly Crystal Rings.
Finally got all 64 of them done this morning and delivered.
With a day job and traveling (lots of them lately),
I make them during the few hours mostly between 10pm and 12 pm.
And weekend of course.

This sparklies (Swarovski Crystals) are wire wrapped with 24ga gold filled wire.

The Last Air Bender

After William and Henry watched The Last Air Bender, and me surfing for pictures/images of the movie, it struck me that I can actually wire wrap something for each of them.
My mistake, I told them too soon.
From then on they kept reminding (pestering) me to make it like NOW!
I gave in and kept myself busy last two nights.
These are the results from.....The Last Wire Bender!..Opps! LOL.
How about that? Mmmm, don't really want to be he last though :)
William likes the Air Bender so this is his (left) while Henry wants the Fire Bender.

I can't get them to pose for pictures with the pendants.
They just want to hold them and show off to their friends.

Me? me want to make myself the Water Bender :)
Have a great weekend all and happy wrapping.

Back to Basic Collection - Swirly Wire Earrings

Rather slow this weekend.
Still working on one piece since yesterday when decided to divert to the Back to Basic Collection.
Here is sharing another piece for this collection - Swirly Wire Earrings.
Looking very well endowed...like pregnant and suddenly I realize how much it looks like my logo...LOL

Notice the uneven surface. Those are hammering marks.

I like to think they are added character :) 

(Just an excuse to cover up my inability to hammer evenly)

I know, some people prefer totally smooth surface.

These are tiny 3mm garnet. 

Added so the earrings don't look so boring :)

Somehow, I have problem taking pictures with dark/black background.

Pictures always turn out "unreal" or "off color".

Any idea why this is so?

Any suggestions on taking nice pictures on dark background?

Wire Jewelry - Back to Basic Collection

Maybe it has something to do with age as I am quite slow in recovering from last weekend trip.
Still feeling tired although I didn't do much there -- mostly walking, window shopping, chit chatting and lots of laughing.
Now my right leg and arm are hurting slightly.
Its like a tiredness that wouldn't to go away.
Thought I didn't get enough sleep so went to bed earlier than usual last 2 nights but still the same.

OK, enough about that and here is the pair of earrings made before I left last weekend.
This is my Back to Basic Collection - Simple three pieces of wires on each side adorned with tear drop glass beads. All wires were hammered to harden.

The Unknown "Blue"

This is last weekend project - a Twice Around the World (TAW) Wire Wrapped Bracelet. 

Unfortunately I don't know the type or name of this stone. Each of them measures about 1cm in diameter and I got them from New Zealand. Beautiful shade of blue.
Any idea what stone is this?

I thought I'd like to ask another question but let's leave that for another post.

What Would You Do? | Fossilized Coral Pendant - Wire Wrapped and Woven

Today I would like to ask a question and I'd love to hear what you have in mind.
Do leave me comment if you have the time.
Here is the question.

What would you do if you discovered that a piece you just completed looks similar (maybe 95% similarities) to someone else's design?

However, you cross your heart and swear to die you have never seen hers/his design before?
Do you....

• remove all pictures of the piece you have posted? 
• give credit to the other person? If yes, how do you give credit in this situation as you have never seen his/her creation/design before hand? --- ehm..."thank you for the inspiration but I have never seen your creation before?" --- sounds very fake and insincere right?
• offer an apology?....for what ya?
• believe in coincidence and explain how you come up with your design?
• or accuse the other person for copying (if he/she is accusing you for the same)!
• or let me know your experience...........

Another question will be coming in the next post.
Meanwhile, here is sharing with you my recently completed wire wrapped fossilized coral pendant.

Thank you for your time.
