Snowflake Pendant

Snowflake Pendant

This is a very interesting pendant, done as a set for Snowflake in Winter.
The length of the chain is very very long.
It's so long that I've managed to think of 5 ways of wearing it.
Below is just one of the ways :)

Firecrackers

Firecrackers (鞭炮)

My colleague suggested that I make a firecrackers earrings since it's nearing Chinese New Year. I source around but just couldn't find the suitable beads to make it. I came across these beads and found the peach color quite nice for the new year.
Thus Happy Chinese New Year!

Sekai: The globe in the hands of ladies

I like the Japanese tensha bead, very exquisite design.
so I must do something nice with it.
This piece make use of wirework, interlocking crystals and beads together.
the earrings are to be hooked on the long slender modern earring hook.
this piece is named sekai, the japanese word for the world.
The poem is dedicated to my dear friend who has shifted back to japan to work.

The world is my oyster,

Watch the ladies of the world rise,
and help shape SEKAI to fit their lives.
For women are Sekai, like mother is to son..
So respect the sekai masters...
for we are the true owners.

Evolva

I started this piece because of a request for red and black haircomb with a matching earring.

Evolva (set for $70) (sold)

Beginnings



So as I was again doing my usual thing of putting the beads on the haircomb together, hubby asked me how about giving an additional twist to it. How about having one haircomb that changes pattern? wouldn't it be so nice to pay for one piece and get a dozen other patterns? Great I thought.

And I proceeded to find means to do that. So as I was experimenting with it, I came up with the detachable hook notion. So there's the beginning of the true evolution. A detachable piece to create various designs.

Loop de Loop

Then I proceeded to make a matching earring. I've thought about it long enough already. And I have just the right design for it. After I made finish this piece, I chance upon hearing from its owner that she already had many pairs of loop earrings and wanted something else. Oopps, how how. Well then just forget it, just pass it to her and see how it goes. Who knows she may fall in love with it and maybe this is the nicest loop earring that she will have :P



heehee, oopps I hope she love this :P


Evolva's evolution

Then I started playing around with the detachable piece and I thought hey, how about really maximizing it, making it worth it's value and let it be something else too other than the accessorize piece to the haircomb. And I begin to make it into a earring. So I've got one side of the earring, but I need another matching side. It will be more worth it if I make a mismatch set so that the other piece can become a different accessorize piece to the haircomb. And so it is.


Evolva grows ...
Evolve Evolva into something else...



be it one, or even both together, just hook it on and wear it however you like :)

motherly love

This is my first mother of pearl set.

who else other than mother will this piece be most suited for. It has a very nice easy to use clasp.

actually the necklace is 3 strands of pearl and not 2.

I ran out of beads while making it and the shop ran out of pearls.

A long time later, I've bought the pearl but sis have yet to take the photo for me.

so here's still the original version till I get the pictures done up.

Motherly love ($40)
