Sea Shell Bangle in glamor style

This bangle was commissioned by a young lady for her special occassion. She was fascinated with my sea-shell-bangle and wanted to make a more glamorous  bangle with more filigrees and lots of crystals.

So here it was.... I was so happy with the out come, it looked very beautiful .

The idea of using three shell pearls was the same as the 'old' Sea Shell Bangle but using wire stitching to stitched all pearls and crystals around them really made a big different. And adding more filigree also made it looked soooo glamorous.

I hope she will like it as much as I do ... if she doesn't I wouldn't mind keeping it for myself ... =D

AYUDHIA IN TURQUOISE

These set were inspired by ayudhia bangle, a tutorial by borneo pahlevi, a talented jewelry designer from my country, Indonesia.

He started doing wire work a bit later than me but now he already made more tutorial than me in www.jewelrylessons.com ... that's how good he is .... =)

The necklace was made with the same principle with the bangle. I only made each piece a bit longer (about 10 cm each) so it could nicely formed as necklace.

Both Turqoise in the necklace and bangle were netted, not woven as shown in the tutorial.

I chose to make a simple bezel for both cabochon to enhance the intricate wire woven on the left and the right side of the cabochon.

I really love the combination of turqoise and copper wire ... I hope you do too .....

Thank you for looking ....

Another wave bangle.....

After I made the previous bangle base on Yoana's tutorial I decided to make another bangle that was inspired by Eni Oken. If you looked close enough, you would notice the difference.As you can see, a 1 mm wire appeared more solid than 0,8 mm. And it gave the bangle a stronger and masculine character yet soft because of the pearl.Personally, I enjoyed making both of them.If you have to choose, which one do you like better ?

Sea Shell Bangle

This past week I got a creative block...I didn't feel like doing anything with wire.So, what did I do ? I went to book shop browsing in the hobby section, and I was lucky to find "The Crystal Bible" by Judy Hall. Then I got a chance to meet my friend Heri and she taught me how to make pipa. Still it didn't make my creative juices flowing... and I was getting desperate. My friend Heri, Rina and Annie already made several beautiful things and it made me more desperate. Yesterday, after browsing Eni Oken's Jewelry I stumbled upon the memory treasures bracelet. I suddenly felt like making those bracelet with my sea shell beads. I spent about 10 hours and more than 14 metres of wires.I hope this will keep my creative juices flowing....

Bangle Collections

These days I'm obsessed to make bangles. When I started to make one, I couldn't wait to finish it... to me it was like watching a cocoon becoming a butterfly.

Sometimes the results were quite different that what I imagened before.To make these bangles gave me so much satisfaction.

The Golden Brown Bangle

After the green piece bangle, I'm in the mood to make another bangle. So, before the mood passed I decided to make this bangle. When I started I took a chance in using golden wire because I thought it would look 'too much'....

Luckily, it went perfect together. The combination of carnelian, yellow agate, red agate, fluorite, and swarovski pearl framed with the golden wire makes it look kind of ethnic with a touch of contemporary.

I bet it looks perfect with batik..... ^ - ^
