Recently, I've been in a mood called "A Girl's Gotta Bling" where I constantly crave for some bright and shiny little things. To fuel my crave, Michael's seems to have lots of sales on their crystals and they are quite affordable. I got some pieces and got myself busy. While they all turned out great, I love this piece the most:
I call it "My New Moon"
So pretty, see!
It really sparkles!
I have to say the camera does not do justice to this piece of crystal: it really sparks fiercely. Since I am very new at wire wrapping, it does look wonky. I appreciate any suggestions and tips (Stephanie, help!) For those who are jewelry makers out there, don't worry, I am not edging to your market. While I love beading, I am not that detail oriented as you guys. But once in a while, I do love to make something for myself.
That's all, folks! I hope this week has been good for you. I am working on an important deadline and you may find my blog entries shorter in the future. However, I will try to blog as frequent as I can and appreciate your support.

Aww that's so pretty and sparkly, I love it!
ReplyDeleteHi Gio,
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you so much! I'm not so good at wire wrapping but the crystals are really pretty.
Hi Angela,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement! Hope you'll come back soon!
you've got a great start there! It has a nice charm. There's two styles of wire wrapping. Looking perfectly or looking like you did it organically. I can refer you to some tutorial videos if you want. But for moons I usually use a bail. Here to help!
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie,
ReplyDeletePlease, please, please give me some videos. The wire wrapping for this one was done in a good day but the other ones are not so good. I can't find a bail at my local Michael's so I decided to wire wrap it.
