Decided to do some quick pieces using the now-very-large bag of Swarovski crystals that I keep impulsively buying whenever I see it in stores. XD The colour of the red Siam hearts are just gorgeous, and it really stands out, so I paired them with a silver key and silver chain to give it the …
Carnelian – “Cradled Ember”
I have a huge backlog of gemstones to wrap. I always buy more stones than I can wrap in a given time period. =w= Anyway, carnelian is a reddish-brown stone, and copper seemed to suit it the best. I tried a slightly new style here, opting for more a pieces of longer wire strands., I …
Magic rose cube
I made this red and green cube out of six interlocking units. It's really easy to make, especially if you've done modular origami before. It looks like any ordinary cube, right? Well, something interesting happens when you pull out the triangular-shaped parts of the three red faces! My ordinary cube has now become a rose! …
Rose quartz pendant
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 …

Origami rose pen
Aren't origami roses just lovely? I've made a lot of flower bouquets in the past year using the wire and stem method, but I did something a little different this time. Instead, I wrapped green paper around a pen and affixed a Kawasaki rose to a calyx on the top of the stalk. Now I …
Seed bead flower hair comb
I decided to make use of the stacks of seed beads that I had lying in my bead box on Friday, so I looked up some things and came across this tutorial on how to make a seed bead flower. It was fairly easy to understand and make. The only difficult part was dropping the …
Chunky blue pearl bracelet
This bracelet is one of the loveliest things I've ever made. It's really eye-catching and is sure to make a statement. It's also fairly heavy, haha. I basically made the bracelet by tying up the curb chain with elastic, then filling up the spaces with all sorts of beads. I chose to use a pack …
