I am still not done with wire wrapped cat earrings.
Hope I am not booooring you with all the kitties:)
This time around, only the head with tiny body.
If you don't know yet, I work almost exclusively with stainless steel wire.
This is 20 gauge round wire.
They are flattened with lots of hammering.
Cute ya???

Or maybe a key chain.
Did a bit of wire weaving for the tail with copper jewelry wire.
The body is a heart shaped Rose Quartz accented with a 4mm stainless steel spacer beads.

Some cats facts:
- They are the most loving animal (at least to me).
- They are the best companion (when you are lonely) and manja (no exact English translation for this word, closest is pampered).
- They always look cool and calm..haha.Some studies found that cat owners are more logical and practical than dog owner...hahaha...there you are dog owners!
- Cats can improve your health too, especially your heart health.
- Sad....millions of cats killed for food especially in China, its a delicacy.
- There was a cat mayor somewhere in Alaska.
- Cat cafe in Japan and Korea provide you temporary companionship with cats.

Wire Jewelry - Meow! Meow! Studs
A wire wrapped cat stud earrings made in a whim.
Not difficult to wire wrap these little kitties.
Lots of hammering to harden the body and head though.
Inspiration from my dear old cats from a long long time ago, our neighbor's cats as well as the many inspirations from the world wide web.
If dogs are man's best friend...then
Cats are woman's best friend!!

Wire Wrapped Flora Earrings
Where have all the days gone?
Just blink and almost end of 2nd week of March.
Been wanting to post this earrings since the last post.
Remember the post about my failure.
That was last month but feels like it was only yesterday.
OK, this is the outcome of that many tries.
Not very satisfied but not so badlah.
Wire is 20g and hammered hard.
Wrapped each side of the earrings with different type of gemstone beads.
One side is wire wrapped with Lapis Lazuli.
The other with 4mm frosted Amazonite.
Close up pic is not close enough but that is the closest I could get with my hand-phone camera.
My "camera" is about to die of old age.
Time to look/get a new camera - *sigh* but the one I am drolling at is just so damn expensive *sigh*.
Then there is the 4mm stainless steel spacer beads.
Someone commented that the style of the earrings look "oldish" i.e. suit older woman.
I do not agree but that is her honest opinion and no offence because i trust her 200%.
Right now I am thinking about retiring 1 or 2 of my tutorials at Etsy and Artfire
Wait for the announcement.
Till then have a great week and happy creating.

First Fail of 2016 - Lack of Inspiration and Warming Up
After few months away from my pliers, wires and stones, and finally finding a temporary "corner" as my work station, look at what I have been making.
Supposed to be a flora earrings.
*Sigh*..... dunno what I was doing.
Bend left and right still didn't get it them right.
I have it in my mind but somehow the fingers and bending was not working as it should be.
At some point, I think it is the wire size....ermmmm.
The gemstone beads maybe.
Arrrrrgh! Grrrrrrrr! Geramnya!
First wire jewelry of the year of 2016 and this is what I came up with after several attempts.
Total failure! Thought it was easy to pick up where I left, but actually not as easy as in my mind.

These 3 tries abandoned for another day.
Those frosted colored gemstones are 4mm frosted amazonite while the dark blue colored are Lapiz Lazuli.
