Behind the Scene

As I was editing thumbnails to update my Flash Gallery, I found this. :)

This is the back-view of one of the ROSE pendant I’ve made. It reminds me how much fun I have had with those ROSE pendants – things like this only “looked” complicated, really, it’s pretty easy to execute, the trick is to work on both side of the wires in a synchronized manner – if you made a twist with the wires on your right, make sure you make an exact opposite same twist with the wires on your left – usually I twists them in a way that they will hold on to each other, but you could also make use of beads to hold them together to set it’s shape. :)

Being able to “create” is a privilege, IMHO, cause you can create anything you like. You’re the law. :)
So be good, It’s almost Friday now! XD

Secret Treasury Ring, Wired Chinese Knot

 

Of course I would want to put this knot onto a ring, and of course, I will too, to try to put it onto cufflinks. I made a really simple ring base with 18ga wires, so that I could attach the Secret Treasury Knot on it. It sits steadily on the ring base leaving the remaining base loops exposed – worked exactly the way I thought it would.

 

Love this. Hope you enjoyed it too!

P/S I am wondering where could I source some cufflink’s base – anyone? Please?

Midnight Sun, Wired Chinese Knot

 

Inspired by Stephenie Mayer’s abandoned project – “Midnight Sun”.

Extension from Snowflake Earrings, I merged it with Don Wright’s 12 point stars knotting (well, not quite, I modified it a little after all, but the basic was there) from Vince’s website (Thanks!). So if you have Snowflakes Earrings tutorial – go ahead and try this out!

I am a big fan of Twilight Saga, I read the books for more than 4 times in a month (I didn’t create anything the whole June 2009, remember?), and I watched the movie for more than 10 times, observing each and every pretty boy at a time in the show – I find Jasper is extremely hot, and have you ever realized he stares at Bella just as much as Edward Cullen? Heh!

 

I sincerely hope that Steph’d complete writing “Midnight Sun” one day, and soon. :) After all I love Edward Cullen the most!

Little man kissed his Dad

My brother in law and his son.
The boy will grow up one day and deny it all the way that he’d kissed his Dad this way.

It’s complicated

   

Tic-Tac-Toe earrings! This knot is too much fun! After making the Secret Treasury Knot into success, It made me believe that all knots are now possible.

 

This earrings – check out the wires arrangement, the knot structured symmetrically, and there are more than one way tying this knot. I was busy with options I have. :)
