The dark side of the Flower pendant






There's a flower...
In the dark... dark it was...
Gloomy... trapped and cold...
Blinded... it's all a mystery...
Fainted and almost fading...

Then it comes....time to reborn...
The light cast out the dark...
The mystery revealed...
The chains are opened...
The flower brought to life...

But still... there remains...
The dark side of the flower...

Custom order available.
Material: black onyx stone, rhodonite stone, Swarovski crystals, charlotte, black colored copper wire, wirelace and crocheted black cord necklace

Green Peace Lacy Warrior Bangle








It all started with 3 ply of different colors (chartreuse, amethyst, gold) copper wires crocheted together as the base of the bangle... then it comes to choosing the stone... These gorgeous labradorite stones are chosen because their dazzling flashes of colors really match the crocheted wire colors. Each stones then set with ornate bezel into the crocheted bangle. Next is adding the swirl frame and coiling it to get the lacy look. The clasp is also made with the same technique of the swirl frame.

It took a quite long process for me to be able to start seeing the beauty of this peace, and took around 20 hours to finish. Thank God the result is beyond my imagination. The widest part is 8cm, and when worn it reminds me of a warrior bangle, but this one is a beautiful warrior fighting for peace for all, powered by her love of God and others surround her...

Custom order available.
Material: labradorite stones, Swarovski crystals, colored copper wires (chartreuse, amethyst, gold, dark brown), seed beads

Golden Trinity Filigree Butterfly






This is a very special custom order from a special friend who will use this butterfly for a wedding red rose bouquet! After the wedding, the butterfly can be worn as pendant.

I'm so thrilled by this challenging work, this is my first time creating butterfly, and the request picture shows that it should be 3D with very fine filigree, with added glitter and with red organza fabric on the wings also. I haven't done the last two parts yet, but will do very soon while still thinking on how to actually do it hehehe.....

However if I can already get to this step, this is only made possible because of The Holy Trinity! Thank God!

Will be updating soon.. :)

Custom order available.
Material: non tarnish brass wire, freshwater pearls, japan beads

Lilac Silver Flower Bangle





This is my first attempt to make a woven bangle based on Chandler and Ritchey's book: "Woven Wire Jewelry". The bangle is combined with a flower in the center inspired by Sheilah Cleary's design on "Beading & Beyond" book.
The whole design is inspired by a bangle I've seen on the cover of one of Wirework magazine.

Thank God the bangle turns out pretty nice, though still far from perfection, but the combination of the lilac pastel color and dazzling silver color from the buggle beads flower with lilac freshwater pearls looks very beautiful in my wrist :)

This bangle is available.
Material: freshwater pearls, buggle & seed beads, coated copper wire
