z.For the Love of Sweetie cat – RIP Kitty cat (CH0355)

December 16, 2014 by Helena Asmus Lim Filed Under: CREATIONS, Necklaces, Pendants

This was made for the love of Sweetie – our lovely neighbour’s putty cat, Sweetie.  Sweetie recently went off to the great beyond and is much missed by her beloved owner, Melisse & Bob.  So this is my dedication to Sweetie.

z.Wire Netting: How to Wire Net Bezel a Cabochon

March 25, 2014 by Helena Asmus Lim Filed Under: CREATIONS, HOW TO, Necklaces, Pendants, Wire Work Tips

How to Wire Net Bezel a Cabochon with Wire Netting

Using wire netting to bezel a cabochon is what I wanted to learn. Here are the first couple of results.  I watched a very useful basic video Wire Weave Cabochon Bezel Tutorial by Camille Sharon (see vid towards end part of this article) on YouTube.  Even though she was teaching the Viking Weave, she also covered wire netting towards the end.

Wire Netting to Bezel Cabochon (CH0307)

In my attempts here, I made use of the basic principles but added a few things like starting from the front and adding beads as I weaved the wire.  I have also included tips as to how to get the wire netting more snug, neat, and regular.

ZZ.Freeform Wire Wrap Pendant and Earrings

June 24, 2013 by Helena Asmus Lim Filed Under: CREATIONS, Earrings, Pendants

This freeform wire wrap pendant and earring set is purely a result of joyful, unencumbered experimentation.

And it was real fun.  The shapes are as they happened – totally unplanned. There is always a surprise when you turn your playful hand to freeform wire wrapping. Try it and be surprised 🙂
I also took this opportunity to try out a new technique of making my own ear wires.  It all turned out pretty well.
TIP:
copper wire is usually a bit too soft to be used as earwires. It needs to be work-hardened well. Maybe I need thicker wire or some copper alloy that is stiffer than pure copper.
Sorry, this is a real short DIY note but the pics, though comparatively few, are I hope pretty much self-explanatory.
