Pine Necklace, Knot-T-Net, Wire Chinese Knot Jewelry

  

Totally One-of-a-Kind!
Fine Art Jewelry, Wired Chinese Knot.
100% Handcrafted.

It look like a pine and hence I have name this creation after it. :D
So, I’ve knotted a bigger net for this smoky quartz, and let the pendant go with the maroon color ribbon and waxed cords set necklace – it should be eye catching enough to win you the attention of all.

If you are interested in knotting a net like this, please help yourself with Knot-T-Net tutorial, while it’s still being marked down at this very moment.

Mac or PC?

I created a Vote and Poll for this entry. :)

I have been using PC all-my-life, and recently I have been thinking about making a change.

I had a horrible experience few years ago when i visited United Kingdom for my brother’s graduation, we took the opportunity and visited other part of the UK and, as we were in Edinburgh, the backpacker place we were staying had charged internet facilities. Mind you – it was more than half a decade ago, WiFi isn’t a norm and internet access were never be free back then. So I paid for an hour of service, thinking that I should be able to reply some mails and even visit my fav forum to catch up with friends. I ended up spending 35 minutes trying to figure out how do I even launched a web browser, while that white mouse was being difficult. Finally I manage to login to forum, composed a post while uploading a couple of photos, I even made it to embedding those photos into that post and… just in time for them to cut me off before I clicked that submit button.

There were people queuing up waiting for that little white thing (Mac) so I sighed and walked back to my room, that moment I though: “Mac makes me feel dumb, and without a PC, or Microsoft, I am nothing.”

And now… after half a decade later, I am actually consider to feel dumb again – and I am thinking to start with Mac.

When asked, my excuses would be:

“I’ve used enough of Dell or HP…”

“I’ve had enough of Microsoft…”

“I need a change!!!”

Heh! *Whatever.*

So here it is. I am still uncertain of my choice. Microsoft is something I am totally familiar with, and software for PC are easier to obtain, MAC is an alien, but I think I have to quit all of things I am familiar of for a new start.

Vote please?

Prototype – JiaSha Trio necklace

 

Custom Order – and this is the prototype piece. So now I have JiaSha series set! :P

Material: Artistic wires, black gunmetal chain and garnets (rounds and teardrops).

I use Artistic Wires for all prototyping my orders, and as soon as I would like to start the project I realized I’ve ran out of one of the most important material – 24ga wires. Freaked out! I have promised my client by weekend I will be able to show the prototyped piece! So I went over to http://beading.my, one of my favorite supplier, to see if they have 24ga, and then it says it’s all sold out. PANICKED! I text Steve from http://beading.my to see if he can source me some anyway, I texted him instead of call – cause it was already very late at night, I think it’s almost 11pm when I texted. He rang me up in less than 1 minute, and I told him what I need and need them urgently – gratefully, he told me he kept some. THANK GOODNESS!

So it will take one day if he were to send them via post to me, I decided to pay a visit physically (for the first time after he’d shifted) the next day. And then this is what I saw:

It was Ms. Mastura running a class! My heart was deeply touched when I see this – they are all paying their full attention creating TOGETHER! Ms. Mas is great, she’s so soft spoken and I can barely hear anything, and no I didn’t say Hi to them, I WAS TOTALLY SHY!!! And didn’t want to interrupt the class!

 

I think you crafters in Malaysia should really pay a visit there – it’s a cozy place that you will want to be there and be with people that shares the same interest. I am very comfortable in there and I didn’t leave immediately after getting what I need, I walk around places and chit-chat with Steve and Icyy, I even found out that Iccy and I had a common friend! All in all, it was a good good experience – I trust everything happened for it’s reason! I almost being thankful for running out of 24ga wires LOL!

 

Happy a good weekend folks!
