Cranberry Swirls Hoops

I have so much fun making these hoops. Hoops are adorned with swirls and 3mm Swarovski crystal beads to give more sparkle to my little cranberry delights. Now, available on our website.

Want to learn how to make these swirls, please check out my tutorial on Smokey Topaz Swirls Pendant.

Braided Wire

I have used 26-gauge wire to do this braiding without inserting beads.

Different gauges wire and different consistency would achieve different results (see above picture showing the variation of tightness of the braiding).

It is possible to achieve "tight rope like wire" by pulling and rubbing the sides while braiding.

Will using this braided wire to decorate a commission piece I am working on.

Will be teaching this technique at beading.my this Sunday (18.04.2010). You can also learn this technique via tutorial. Please check out Braided Pearl Bracelet Tutorial from the tutorial section of my blog.

If you have been following me on Facebook updates, I discovered a new way to bezel!! These are still very much in development stages, I need to work on the finishing and the bail.

Inseparable Bracelet

Bracelet is weaved and adorned with dozens of ivory fresh water pearls (5mm).

Technique used in Inseparable Wide Hoops. Check out my tutorial on Inseparable Wide Hoops if you are interested to learn this new weaving technique to incorporate beads.

Haslina's braided bracelet

Haslina bought this tutorial a day after I have released this tutorial for sale. I received these pictures the very next day but I didn't see this until today as the mail has gone to SPAM BOX. Haslina has kindly allowed me to share pictures of her braided bracelet using Tourmaline round beads. =)

I have no idea how the filtering system works for my gmail but I will have to be more careful in checking emails from my SPAM box as well from now on. If your emails went unanswered, please do not hate me for that. Do email me again or forward to me by changing the subject matter or leave me an offline message on my ZOPIM chatbox.

Do check my tutorials, if you are interested to make your own braided bracelet.

Braided Pearls Bracelet

This is my first attempt trying to do braiding with wire & pearls.

What surprises me most is the fact that it took me less than 40 minutes to complete this piece and I cant wait to do more!! LOL! =D Stay Tuned for a more refined version with more consistent braiding and finishing.

Bangle is heavily influenced by the rich culture of the Malaysian Indians.

Woo-hooo I bought a Drill

I always wanted to get a drill but I never gotten around doing that... Why? The price is the first turn off!! Getting a good drill involves spending a huge amount of money. My other problems:

What kinda specs do I need?

What is the different between a drill n driver??

Arrgh... I am also clueless how it really works?

Tool like this can be dangerous if you don't know how to handle it properly!!

However, having seen good testimonials from some of my fellow wire artists and spending good amount of time reading about it, I decided to get one but I was still unwilling to spend $$$ for it.

Yesterday, while during grocery shopping with my mom @ Tesco Hypermarket, I saw THIS DRILL! Cordless Black and Decker HM9600 (for the benefit of others who are looking for a drill at an unbelievable bargain) for only RM99.90!!! (Click on first picture to enlarge). I jump at the offer and bought it straight away...

I tested it and it works fine for coiling wire! Now, I can work faster, with precision and consistency!! I cant wait to work on new projects which involve coiling or twisting wire with this NEW DRILL!!

Remember to charge it for at least 6 hours and read the instructions carefully before you start using it!

DISCLAIMER AND CAUTION: If you have no idea what to use this drill for, DON'T GET IT!!! Be absolutely clear how it works and think it through whether you really need this tool before purchasing one!

If you are beginner/ intermediate level in your wire works journey but is very keen to get it but not sure how it works, feel free to email me at jpbeads@gmail.com with your questions and to satisfy your curiosity before committing your purchase.

Oh, do check out my pop up chat box at the bottom right of your browser, leave me message if I am "OFFLINE" and chat with me directly when I am "ONLINE".

Flower Infinte Heart RIng

Another flower ring. I have made 6 coiled and swirls petals for this flower ring...

The band is weaved using infinte knot with slight modification to the knot I have introduced recently. Can you see the hearts? =D May be I should incorporate 2 rows of infinite hearts for a thicker and broader shank? What do you think?

New Knot - Infinite Hearts

If you have been following me on twitter (http://www.twitter.com/jpbeads) or facebook (http://www.facebook.com/jpbeads), here it is the very initial pictures of my new knot - Infinite Hearts! Still at the stage of perfecting this knot... will share more pictures soon! Thank you for viewing and have a great weekend!

Round and Round Again!

It may be a little too much hassle to hand-coil the wires if you do not have a drill or dont intend to get one soon... you can do away with the coiling and it will still look dainty like this pendant...

Thanks for looking!
