Jade Koru from New Zealand 2007-07-27 08:42:00 This New Zealand
jade koru is a present from Ahmee (short for mommy), who is back from Christchurch NZ for a holiday. Koru is believed to depicts a new beginning, growth and harmony. What an appropriate gift as I am really hoping for a new beginning and growth....
I am planning to wire wrap this koru as the string doesn't look that strong.
The jade of New Zealand is generally called greenstone,
Talking about Dream 2007-07-26 00:12:00 I just mentioned about my dream and this is what I came across at home furniture - storage beds. This platform bookcase bed comes with plenty of storage, dresser, mirror and night stand package. Plenty of additional storage space within the bed frame is unique and I can imagine how useful it is for my wire jewelry tools, beads and pretties. The bed is of quality hardware, solid wood and classic Read more:Dream

Dream About Beads 2007-07-26 00:06:00 This addiction of mine is affecting my sleep and sub-conscious mind. Or is it because in the past few weeks I have been surrounded by beads from Canada and US? I don't know but last night I dreamed I was shopping or window shopping for beads in a town (not sure where it was but the building I entered was quite old). While looking around, the building started to shake - it's earthquake!

Another Pearl Necklace Set 2007-07-23 09:20:00 Last weekend was pearl weekend. Here is another set of pearl necklace and earring. This one is a mixture of natural and blue colored pearl. I like the wrap on the earring. This kind of wrap is idea i copied from Deryn of Something Sublime. Basically what I did is coil the wire round and round and round until you I get the desired thickness. Here, I used 23g wire for the wraps. Read more:Necklace

Both Sides of the Story 2007-07-23 00:06:00 Environmental issues are very much part of our life and more so to me as I am working in the environmental consultancy line. A lot of times, issues are blown out of proportion that people not in the know may interpret this information differently or misunderstood them. Sometimes, a non-issue may become a big-issue due to the same reason.
It is therefore important that when you read the papers, Read more:Sides
Jewelry-Simple Pearl Necklace & Earring 2007-07-22 10:40:00 Here's a simple pearl necklace and earring set made today. A commissioned piece. I tried a new type of clasp/hook for this piece. Something I have never tried before but it turned out quite good. Seems to hook the necklace securely. The length of the necklace is about 18 inches, just nice to hang around the neck and show it off a bit...LOL. Read more:Earring

Jewelry- Pearl Neclaces & Earring 2007-07-15 09:23:00 Been a while since I made something with pearl. Today I made two pearl necklaces and a pair of matching earring.

No More Reading Glasses - Sponsored Post 2007-07-14 10:04:00 Approaching 40 at a very fast rate, my eyesight is getting worst by the day. It is not only the age factor but there are also factors such as spending long hours facing the computer screen - in my case everyday (Monday to Friday at work) for at least eight and a half hours and additional two to three hours after work at home. That will be an average of at least 11 hours per day. Another activity Read more:Glasses

Jewelry-Charm Bracelet (First) 2007-07-14 09:28:00 This is my first ever wire wrap charm bracelet. A belated birthday present for a niece in-law who is back for holidays from New Zealand. She mentioned earlier about detachable charms but poor me, I have never heard of it. Anyone of you heard of this or may suggest any websites specializing in this? Or maybe I am just to busy to keep myself updated with the latest trend. Anyway, the charms are Read more:Bracelet

Start Reading Young 2007-07-10 23:55:00 The other day I was buzzing about math but today I will buzz about reading tutors. This may be of interest to parents with children between the ages of 4 to 14, like me. Like math, reading is fundamental. Without this ability, we will be missing out on a lot of things. So, learning to read should start young. Score Learning centers helps children ages 4 to 14 through an active, hands-on Read more:Reading

Fish tooth for Wire Jewelry 2007-07-09 08:49:00 Have you ever seen this fish before? Look at the teeth. I think those teeth will make very nice beads for a bracelet! Oh well ... a bit yucky though! This is what they call Parrot fish. Hubby went out fishing last weekend but he didn't catch this one. This was given to him by the boatman who caught it. It weight about 3.5kg. So the teeth are just the right size for a pair unique earring...:-) Read more:Jewelry
Fun With Math 2007-07-08 09:55:00 When it comes to Math, I must admit that it’s not one of my favorite subjects at school. Obviously, I am more artistically inclined. But maybe it is because of the approach in teaching Maths. My son is approaching five (5) and I have been thinking about his education. If Score is available in Malaysia, I will certainly look into their math tutors program as I believe learning Math should be fun

There are some beads as well but that will be for the next postings.

Drug Rehab 2007-07-06 10:56:00 Is wire jewelry addiction bad for you? I do not think so. Well, maybe sometimes it can be but it is not as bad as addiction to drug.

Wire Wrap Ring - Black is Beautiful 2007-07-04 09:45:00 This stone has been with me for almost a year now. This is a faceted black onyx. Been wanting to make a wire wrap ring out of it since then but haven't gotten around to doing it until a friend inquire about it.
Turned out quite nice and she like it very much. However, the the size is a bit out for her so I will be making another smaller size one later on. Maybe I will keep this for myself. Don't Read more:Beautiful

River Rocks that I Found 2007-06-28 08:59:00 These rocks were collected from a river located outskirt of Kuching City - about an hour drive from Kuching to be exact. I wonder if they could be used for my wire wrap jewelry. In the water and while they are wet, the colors are beautiful especially the biggest one at far right of picture two. Guess I would only find out tomorrow morning as I am dead tired at the moment from our jungle tracking Read more:River

The string broke off when she was on holiday in Bali so I got it stringed back when she came back. She lost some of them but the remaining amber were enough to fit her tiny neck.
