Once I started to work, I just can't stop.... ....
The title has said it all, once I have started work I am not able to stop. The ideas on what to do with what kept coming and I need to continue to execute them or else I will forget how I want it to be.
This is actually a charm bracelet. I made the 2 kawaii picture frames dress first and then I matched them with the glass pearls and charms. Love this piece a lot :)
The idea for this ring just came out of the blue and I love it when I saw the outcome. I actually made a few rings using these cute flowers :) Do you want to own one??? Let me know your favorite flower color and I will do the matching for you :))
Thru an earlier tutorial I made a copper color dragon fly pendant and wore them with a leather cord. I love them and have been thinking of making another variation of the dragon fly and tada....... made this with Swarvoski Bicone. Going to string it with a dark green faux leather cord :) I have already thought of a dress that I could go with it :) If you are interested, remake is possible with different color combinations :)
This is my 1st dragon fly pendant that I mentioned earlier :)
Rings made from Gloria Ring Tutorial
I bought the tutorial to make these beautiful rings and I enjoyed every minute making them :) that I ended up making 4 in one night :)
The above is my 1st trial :)
Then the skills got better .........
And better...........
And even better. I asked my son which one he prefers and he said this one Mommy :)

Cute ring
I have been thinking of what to name my rings..... You have any idea?
I made the first one similar to this one but with a pink rose, crystal and pearl and the result was...... I love them...... I have since made a few but did not have time to take pictures of them before I sold them of. Here, I managed to take one which I supposed to send them to the buyer to see if she is ok with the design......
I made this using Designer craft wire (20 gauge), Preciosa, Czech Fire Polished Glass and purple color resin rose.
Went crazy beads shopping over the weekend
The last weekend I really burnt my pockets........... Don't ask me what was my damage. I went crazy shopping for beads and everything related to my hobby. I practically wanted to buy everything from the shop :) How I wish it was my grandfather or "me" (even better) own those shops. I just can't help it and felt like I need to get everything from the beautiful resin flowers, charms, crystals and pearls :)
As soon as I got home I took them out admire them again and then put them back and the next day when I was in my own shop (my bedroom and workspace) I took them out admire them again and put them away in their appropriate families :)
I can't wait to use them to make beautiful accessories and my head is bursting with ideas on how to use them.
Stay tuned for more pictures update :)

Thank you to my teacher........... Mastura
I am so happy as I received a response from my teacher in my blog. My teacher is Mastura and her blog is whimsicalnquirky.blogspot.com/.
My 1st introduction to wire beading is thru her. She was so patient with all of us. She is also very thoughtful that she gave her students a starter kit that comprises of a A4 size folder to put our tutorial which she printed in color and a small beading case to hold our beads.
Mas designs were so beautiful and intricate, I think it will take me years and years to be as good as her.

Happy New Year 2013
How would I summed up my year???? Let me see, overall I had a good but very busy year. I got myself a job, moved house and made a fair bit of money from sale.
I took a few days off towards the end of 2012 to bond with my family and at the same time managed to create some new designs for my accessories. I will upload them on my blog once its ready.
I really love my hobby and I have not been able to stop thinking of how to recreate new pieces everyday.
