I chose Lilyv over this design for myself, so this is made before I’ve even finalized Lilyv. This is a prototype piece so please be gentle! :)

Lilyv

Chinese tend to read their supposedly fortune during Chinese New Year celebration, for as much as I would have ignored the commonly practiced activity, information reached out their ways from radios/ TVs and forwarded E-mails. So I’ve been advised to wear something round with diamonds last year, and my youngest brother was watching that TV show with me that moment. He’d asked if I could make something like that, I remember I said “shouldn’t be a problem.” He smiled, and said if I ever made one of those, he would want something like that, but for man, too.
Well, I WAS serious about making such thing is POSSIBLE, what I did not tell him was for as much as I have visualized it in my mind there and then, the conclusion I made was – too hard. I won’t want to start this unless 1) I am absolutely free and bored, 2) it is 100% necessary.
A little background of how this thing came about again after one year.
A friend requested for a pair of ROSE studs, and as I was making the stud base, she requested to have diamonds surrounding it. Hmm. Surrounding diamonds again. Well to cut it short, that request somehow reminded me that I do have a NEED to create something truly for myself, for an event happening this coming Saturday, and as I put the ROSE studs on hold for now since there are flaws needs to be fixed (I can’t figure out how yet), I jumped in for this project for myself. Yes you heard me right – this is something truly for myself. A total different approach of attaching diamond cuts Cubic Zirconias as compared to ROSE studs, another round of lots of trials and errors, too many wires and finger skins gone to waste. And now I am think I am done with this.

Personally, I am super satisfied with this pair of earrings. Do you watch Gossip Girl? I seriously think this IS something Lillian van der Woodsen a.k.a Lily would wear! *BIG BIG GRIN* – so now you know how the name “Lilyv” come about!

Hope you enjoyed viewing!
Have a great week ahead!

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!

Greeting!!! Another variation I've came up with. Observe the second pictures - it's the back and front view, they are identical no matter you're viewing them from front or from the back!

A photo of me - self-portrait *ahem* with iPhoen camera (yes their camera can't produce good photo), I just would like to show you it's size, so please bear with me of the photo quality!

P/S: I am so hopelessly in the holiday mood already! Can't wait for the Christmas and New Year to come!!!

Her line to John in her dream walk: "I loved you. Tonight, during dinner, I loved you."

-'Fringe': Dream a little dream of me.

Cubical Ring

First attempt - the idea kicked in this evening and I just had to execute it and see if it would turn out right. It is a variation of Cubic Earrings. I am pleasantly pleased with the outcome - though it didn't turned out exactly like how I'd had visualized it in my mind. Will work out more on the it's details to give it better finish in the next attempt, meanwhile, hope you enjoyed viewing the this. :)

Happy weekend!
