new gem, roundelle, crimps = new watch, bracelet ..

Yeah.. so my orders have arrived.. wheew.. they looks good.. yummmy... :))

Well, if you thought is some food.. sorry, they aren't; yet i am so "full" especially after having my hands on them and whoala... pretty!! of coz and that is "to the eyes of the beholder" ya... ha..ha..

The gem in this bracelet is Silver Needle Agate Barrel with the Orange/Light Blue Roundelle finished off with the 3x2mm Twisted crimp tube and of coz ends of with nice small silver twisted toggle clasp. All these are my 1st attempt of material from Artbeads; ordered them on-line, it took less than 10 days to arrive and unexpectantly they were so much prettier.. Thought i did make a simple pair of earrings to go along.. here it is..

Luv the turn-out of the twisted crimp tube so much, as it really gaves a nice finished end-off then those usual normal crimp which kinda plain and nothing special. So i re-make one of my labradorite bracelet into a "watch-strap" with a simple round watch face gotten from Evonne some many many months ago..

Bezelled Ball-Early Christmas Gift presented..

This necklace could simply finished in probably 1-2-hrs at most. But it took me about 2 days+ cos needing to mingle between house chaos & mum's need during weekend. The white ball encircled [bezelled] with wired-round tooks more time, as needing & ensuring that the wire falls neatly side by side and the length of it that would be sufficient to go round the entire ball without any joinings.

Well, is worth the hardworks..when it was presented to Janet yesterday when we met for a "quick cuppa of coffee" at J-O-Donuts.

The "wow" expression and admiration of the craftmanships already gives much reward ++plus her appreciation of my thoughts in this gift such as "gold", "white" and "yellow" which is her favourite colors.

Likewise, Pauline was so happy to receive the "Y" rose-quartz necklace. They both exclaimed that is kind of too early to receive this "X'mas Gift"., but knowing that all our different work/ personal time schedule are kind of rather difficult to arrange and having the year end festives running in, not knowing when would be our possible get-together.

Three-some of us always treasure our get-together even it's only an hour or so. :p

Christmas..seems like few days ago..

Christmas is coming..so, is another season of the year again. Hmm..not like the norm; which is usually said "is just like yesterday".. a little diff.. i would say "seems like just a few days ago.." which i guess most would agree?.. ha ha :p

Well, well, have started or rather i have already make some crafts for christmas gift.. here is one done in wirework "Y" necklace for my dear pauline [she's my formal patchwork teacher].

They are 5mm red & 5mm garnet swarovski crystal with a rose quartz as d centre drop. .. how is it? .. well hope Pauline likes it..

i thank God for HIS gift, gift of loves for hobbies, gifts of craft through my hands, gifts of thoughts & ideas.

somehow, hobbies aids me during my "down-time", brings me through my "sad" & even "good" times. this pair of Amazonite earrings was made while after nursing mom & put her to rest..

the cool color of this stone somehow soothes me from all tireness ..
