Nails made into a Cross!

A few weeks back, Pastor P asked me to make a long necklace from a few nails he got off his old church building roof. After much deliberating, I came up with this 32-inch design. I used antique bronze wire and chain, and mahogany obsidian beads in two sizes. My main difficulty was in stabilising the cross which had a tendency to swing. Any comments or suggestions? What do you think, Pastor P?

Not lost at all!

My dear friends,

I've been working very hard preparing for my Jewelry Open House to be held sometime in late November. I've made lots of pieces, fulfilled many orders and still trying to complete more special orders that have come in. Thank you for sending these in so early! I like to have time to think and design.

So for those of you who have been checking the blog, please be patient! I'll post some completed works next week. This week has been filled with dance rehearsals, ballet exam and other family activities.

The other day we were walking along Joo Chiat Place and saw this cutest little car! Alethea couldn't resist standing next to it for a photo moment!

See you next week!

Necklaces!

Here are a few of the ones I recently made:

This is "Crown Jewels" using 6 14mm Rivolis and made into a cuboid. 17-inches with a magnetic clasp.








This is 16.5-inches using 4mm Sawrovski bicones to make a "Crystal Ball." Very lovely.

This is my personal neckace using 6mm Swarovski bicones to make the centrepiece and strung on a stainless steel necklace.

I experimented with bugle twists using the spiral rope technique to make this 17-inch necklace. I liked the way it turned out. I used Swarovski
pearls to complete the necklace.

CLusters of Grapes

Ever so often, I do go back to wirework! Here are two different clusters. These come in any colour combination requested and various sizes of Swarovki pearls desired.

Flower Power

Here's a few of the flower ear-rings I made. Again, these come in any colour possible and make great Christmas gifts!

Ear-rings

Here's a few pairs of "crystal ball" ear-rings I made. These are available in any colour and sizes imaginable!

I'm Still Kicking and Beading!

I know it's been a while I posted. Rest assured, my faithful customers, I've been beading faithfully non-stop! So far, I've made about 80 pairs of ear-rings (special ones, mind you) and about 50 necklaces! It's just that I haven't had time to take photos with my brain making up new designs every day! So much inspiration, no time to bead!

Last week we had SOTA's inaugural Arts Festival. Alethea danced extremely well in three dances. Here's a photo of her with her friends.
