The very first wire-wrapped pendant that I made was a rose quartz pendant, but I made it with basic craft wire and a value set of tools. (Not that I think the tools matter that much, they were new back then. With a new set of tools and materials, here is the updated revision of …

Valentine’s truffles
The Cambridge University Chocolate Society, otherwise known as ChocSoc, held a special truffle-making workshop today, just in time for Valentine's Day! Although you could still sign up even if you didn't have that special someone. We were given a chocolate base of either white or dark chocolate mixed with cream, and then we had to …
Colourful butterfly hair band
I have been meaning to make something butterfly-themed for a while now. I wanted to make a hair pin, but I could not find any local stores selling them, however John lewis sell metal hair bands and hair combs in their craft section, so I had to get some! At first, I was planning on …

Starstone pendant
My latest pendant, a starstone wrapped in brass wire. They call starstone 'The stone of Ambition'. It glitters so much when you move it. The lady who I bought it from said that people would use it to make wishes as it looked like the night sky in a stone. It has such a weird …
