Rose vitrail lite crystal - a jewelry set

Among my beads collection, this rivoli from swarovski crystal belonged to the category of special beads because of their beautiful color.

I was always waiting for the perfect project to use for this special bead and I when I drew this brooch/pendant, I thought the rose vitrail lite would be a perfect bead to use as the vocal point.

And I think I was right.... as you can see bound with prong and surrounded by different color of crystals and silver filigree... it really create a beautiful brooch/pendant.

To complete the set, I also made a pair of earrings. As I love chandelier earrings so much, maybe I over did the swirls.... =)

But I thought, that beautiful brooch/pendant needed an earrings that were equally beautiful, right? With 8 cm earrings dangling from your earlobe in sparkling crystals, they were really a match with each other.

Thank you for looking..... (^0^)

IMPERIAL JASPER - brooch for kebaya

I bought the Imperial Jasper cabochon from online store, and I bought it simply because I really liked the color. Maybe because it's pink, it looked so girly... that's why I decided to make it into a brooch for kebaya. I imagine you could wear it with white of soft pink embroidery kebaya... hmm it should be stunning... I'll bet it's a show stopper to wear !!

And since I made it with a bail, it cold be also worn with a choker and your little black dress... I think you are ready for Valentine's Day .... =))

The beads around the cabochon was rose quartz and crystals . With the size of 9,5 x 10 cm I'm sure all eyes will turn on you if you wear it.

My first piece in 2011

Today February is officially started, and I haven't posted a single piece of jewelry. Actually I have made several pieces through out January and this was my first piece that I made.

As you can see, I still used wire stitching for these pieces.

This piece is a brooch and can be use as a pendant. I used natural druzy surrounded with crystal beads, the size is about 10 x 8 cm.

And I also made a matching earrings

They really looked great together.... =)

Wishing you ........

May this new year will be full of creativity,
open up new opportunity
in wire activity
and bring you promises of a brighter tomorrows...

May you have a great New Year.

Artistica Blue Medallion

Still exploring in wire stitching, this beautiful pendant was made with colored druzy , fresh water pearls, swarovski crystals and turqoise beads. With 10 cm in diameter, I'm sure if you wear it all eyes will turn to you..... =)


Since I really love wearing brooch, this too could be worn as a brooch.....


Enjooooy......

LABRADORITE in wire stitching

This is a more elaborate version of wire stitching compared to my last project.
It has a considerably more details of filigree and I purposely made the "labradorite chain" part detachable so the "pendant" part could be worn separately as a brooch.
With 10 x 7 cm "pendant" and 60 cm "chain" if worn together I'm sure it it could be a "statement" necklace.... =))
I wish I could take a better pictures, in reality it is more beautiful..... enjoy....

Wire Ribbon Brooch

Roses are pink .....

Dragonfly in vintage

Right now, I am in process of writing my second book of wire working. The first book featured 25 project of wire work for beginners with step by step photo illustration and was published last year.
For the second book I plan to write 25 intermediate project of wire work. And this cute dragonfly was one of the project.

It can be a pendant as well as a brooch.

I think this dragonfly project is worthed to be included in the book, what do you think?

Brooch Collection

Inacraft 2010 Exhibition has passed but the memory still lingering on my memory. The excitement of the preparation, the exhaustion of standing up for 5 days and also the joy of meeting friends and customers as well as the satisfaction each time sales occurred... hahaha...

These brooches were among what was left after the exhibition.... yup, they are still available...

So if you are interested, just let me know, ok? Here they are....

BIG and BEAUTIFUL

DRAGONFLY

Which one is better?

This brooch was the same crochet brooch that I posted the other day.
This morning when I tried to arrange the flower petal, I accidentally made a sharp point to one of the petals. Then I made all petals to a sharp point and bend it upward. To my surprise, this change the complete look of the brooch. It looked like a delicate lotus flower. I think this look better.... what do you think?


It looked like a delicate lotus flower. I think this looks better.... what do you think?

SIMPLY RED - a crochet brooch

It's been a while since my last project using wire crochet technique. Actually, I love this technique ... if you like to explore with it, the possibility is endless. The problem was, it required a lot of wires and it could make callous to your fingers.... like mine (",)
But it really worthed to make because the brooch looked like it was made of lace.... very delicate and lovely. What do you think?
