Wire Crochet Conceptual Jewelry by Sowon Joo

It's been awhile since anything caught my eyes at all, so when I saw these, I can't wait to have it mentioned on my blog, people, meet Sowon Joo from Sowon Joo Studio!

In her artist statement 2016, excerpt:

"In particular, a lot of my work, especially after I became a mother, came from reflections on motherhood and contemplation on birth and growth. Such thoughts manifested themselves in the form of plants and their different stages, such as seeds, buds and fruits. They each reveal the miraculousness and wonder I experience when I observe their transformation and development. Such motives expressed through the shapes of various life symbols are woven with silver wire."

Handmade 14K Gold Bow Tie On Tuxedo

I was hunting for a bow tie straps for my Handmade Gold Bow Tie last weekend and then i realized no one sells just the straps, they all came together with the bow and the first straps I've found was in gold color, made with microfiber (dry wash only) clothe, best of all, it's sewn onto the bow tie itself.

So I went on to the department stall to try my luck - plenty of them, but only one brand had it not sewn on, and they only have it in black and navy blue.

I put on the black straps to my Gold Bow Tie, and then worn it onto the mannequin in tux, looks pretty great but I was concerned about it's visibility - since I've crocheted my gold bow tie with 14K gold filled wires and people could see through it and catch the different color of straps...

I end up bought the gold color microfiber bow tie and detached the straps from it.

What do you think? Black straps or Gold? I love both actually! :)

Gold Bowtie for Men, Handmade Wire Jewelry, Wire Crochet

Inspired by someone I'd known that had recently featured in Prestige magazine.

Men should really wear some jewelry too (aside from their precious watches and cufflinks), I thought, this bowtie appears to be a secretive jewelry! I can't say it's low profile but it sure can be pretty deceiving at first glance, people would have thought it's a regular gold fabric bowtie but it's not, I have spent about 12 hours (I am new to wire crocheting hey!) and have utilized more than 60 yards of precious metals for this wearable art, each stitch is carefully crocheted to deliver loops with even size.

Technique by YoolaDesign!

Side note: Of 4 years going on 5th year making handmade jewelry, I finally can make something for my own husband knowing him would wear it. Yay me. :)


Here's a short video of it, just to show you it's dimension, size and how soft it is.

Jewelry Headband - Bow Headband

Jewelry Headband, A bow design for Queen B, inspired by Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl (again).

I made a headband using YoolaCuff tutorial by Yoola Design today, by applying variation to make it into a lovely headband for my little one.

Might be able to make it into a ring, you think? :)

Or, a bracelet?

And here's a glance of it in my hand:

Before I attach it onto a headband:

After attaching it onto a red color of elastic lace:

Material: Non-Tarnish Silver Artistic Wires, Swarovski Cystral Pearls, Elastic Lace.
Measurement: 9.5gram.

I think my little one looks absolutely cute with it, what you think? :)
