Fairy

Just a little fairy I made for my daughter.

Bird Brooches Series - 6 of 6 - DOVE

This is the last of this series, DOVE. I was struggling to design one as Dove is quite a popular inspiration and I wanted to have a unique design. Quite a 3D piece hence 2 photos to show off its wing. It is made with 12mm Crystal Rivoli.

Bird Brooches Series - 5 of 6 - PEACOCK

What next.......

Check this spot out for the rest of the Bird Brooches which are PEACOCK and DOVE.

After this series I will create a few more animals series. I still have not decided on the next series yet but highly likely it would be PET Brooches.........

Bird Brooches Series - 4 of 6 - SWAN

Always wanted to do a swan but restricted on a lots of ideas of swan already created. I wanted something that is uniquely me. So here it is.

Bird Brooches Series - 3 of 6 - FLAMINGO

The third of the Bird Brooches Series. This one was made with 14mm Rose Rivoli while the body was made using mostly half hard silverwire (quite unforgiving on manipulation mistake).

Bird Brooches Series - 2 of 6 - ROBIN

This is the second of this series. It is made with 18mm Volcano Rivoli.

Bird Brooches Series - 1 of 6 - OWL

This idea just came to me, more like an urge of doing an owl. I was experimenting with 12mm Rivoli buttons for the eyes at first but they were not stable enough nor strong enough to withstand wire manipulation. So I had to come back to the normal rivoli. After this made I decided on making a series of brooches base on animals. First stop Bird Brooches Series.

It is made with 2 x 12mm rivoli in a oxidised silver wire setting.

Geometry

My newest neckie, "Geometry". Beside the obvious facts that lead me to name it "Geometry", it does hold a number of thoughts, personal feelings within its design. I was struggling between the two names "Geometry" and/or "Life". It does representing my life journey, my way of thinking and my hopes. The squares and rectangles intertwined represent my logical approach in life. The rivolis scattered around are events that are "non-logical" but occurs anyway in my life. They are in different shade of light and dark as are good and bad events that occurred. But if we look at out life from a different perspective, these negative and positive events are combined to make a beautiful picture of our life. The centre rivoli is a bigger size and in "light" colour as to represent that light at the end of the tunnel of which I am searching for. Ultimately, my hopes in life.

Vintage

Not a very good Photo considering it was taken at midnight using a crappy camera. There is an uncomplete feeling about this one. Something is missing from it but I can not pinpoint it. It was in fact a disappoinment on my behalf. If I could just know what was wrong with it.

LOVE

This piece represent the passion and the peace that love brings. The existence of the two opposite extremes in a harmonic setting (much like yin and yang I supposed).

Untitle

This necklace is of the same style as "Midnite Princess" but it represent another different design of mine.

Midnite Princess

The second of my new series of necklaces which consist of a number of identical links and a centre piece. This particular necklace is made using 12mm and 14mm Swaovski Taihitian pearls. Its swirls and drops were made using 26g Halfhard wire for stability and hardness.

Cosmic

This is very much my come back piece after a long period on non-active in the wirework front. It is a revisited idea that I had for a very long time, but back in the day the limitation of my technique did not allow me to achieve the desired effect.
It is made with various sizes of Swarovski Rivoli Crystal AB ranging from 14mm to 27mm in a silver and goldfilled wire setting. The centre stone is 27mm Swarovski 1201 Special Stone and it is raised up by 5mm above the actual necklace to give a 3D depth.

AB Crystal Rivoli earring

This is again one of my idea floating around that eventually become reality.

New pendant

Just came up with this one. Subconciously I always wanted to create something like this. Hence few days ago it moved to the concious level of my creativity. Guess I can finally move on now.

The Eye of Horus

First item made specially for my new venture in Etsy. It is constructed using silver wire, goldfill wire and swarovski stone 1201 Jet 27mm.

Crystal ring

Ah horrible insomnia, but it did produce this ring. I was just wanted to see if briolettes work well with rivoli.

Wirework Bangle

I just got my hand on these Swarovski special stone 1201 27mm, a close brother of the rivoli range. My original design was to incorporate chainmaille into the body of the bangle itself but it seem to over shadow the main stone. I am still lingering with the idea of wirework and chainmaille hybrid design. After all chainmaille is wirework, is it not. This design seemed to leave me an unfinishing feeling as if something is missing from it. I definitely have to relook into the design to improve it.

Commissioned pieces

These are the first two item for the year 2009. I am trying to work up my motivation, too many ideas floating around in my head that need to be out.

Wirework Cabochon

This is a rare one of the wirework cabochon I made. I normally only work with swarovski crystal.

Zodiac Pendants

Well, due to my moving interstate, I haven't done much lately. So I had to resort to posting these old ones.
