All Wired Up - Mine :)

It has been a long time since I've made any rings! The first time I tried making wired rings was at a BeadHub workshop. Read all about it here.


And if you know me, you'd know that I like my rings BIG and CHUNKY and LOUD. Hahahaha!

Less is certainly not more when it comes to me and rings ... and shoes and handbags and beads and chicken rice ....

Anyways, here is my first ring-making attempt after more than a year.

This black and white creation features moonstone and onyx and craft wire. Oh, and please pretend you don't notice that I've chunky, wrinkley and hairy fingers :))

Maybe I'll try another one in 925 silver and see how it goes.

On the Lily Pad - SOLD

I'm in wire wrapture :D (Gotta love Eni Oken!)

This whimsical piece depicts a froggie about to leap off a "lily pad" of lime turquoise. The dangle at the end, which represents bubbles in the pond, is a 925 twisted silver ring.

Frog charm is pewter; the second one in the pic is for decorative purposes only, and is not included.

Pendant comes with a stainless steel neckwire which you can also use with your other pendants.

Candy Box - GOING TO AUSTRALIA!

Don't these delish Czech glass beads look good enough to eat ... just like a box of tempting candy!

What the camera did not catch is their brilliant sparkle, accented by a Swarovski crystal at each corner of the "Candy Box".

As you can see, I've been having tons of fun with Eni Oken's tutorial :)

To soften the boxy shape, I went with a curvy bail which then attaches to a chain.

Rhodium plated chain can be adjusted to whatever length you wish. Total pendant length is about 4.5cm.
