Crochet Jewelry Project


This was an experiment to use up some jade chip stones that I had left.  I think it turned out really well.  Plus it is my first time crocheting wire!!!

Black and Green Bracelet an Necklace Projects

I made my first wire wrap ring.  It turned out really nice, I made it for one of my co-workers and she really liked it.  I want to try to make one for a man now.  (I had another co-worker who wanted one and just happen to be male;))

Wire wrap Hello Kitty Face outline Pendant


Paper Clip template and Finished Hello Kitty Wire Pendant


My attempt at a Hello Kitty Face  Wire Wrap Pendant
 I'm done! It took all night but I think it turned out really nice.  I used the template from a Hello Kitty Paper Clip as my guide to  shape my pendant.  I think next time I will try it with a thicker wire.. I'm still very much an ameture but I'm loving the practice to become better....  Maybe this time I won't have constant interuptions from my 1 year old!!!

Finished Projects



Tiger Eye and Sterling Silver Bracelet and Earrings
 Tiger Eye Jewelry
 OK here are a series of jewelry projects that I have completed.  I found this tiger eye gemstone in the shape of tubes and really wanted to do a project with it.  So I added it with my Silver beads and created this bracelet and earring set.  I thought it turned out nice, but I didn't have any closures for the bracelet so I had to get creative.......        What do you think?

What to do What to do??

Surfing the net trying to find a new Hello Kitty Project to do.  I brought some Polymer Clay a couple weeks ago and still have not used it.  I have been doing a lot with with my hatpins for my co-worker I will try to post a picture of them.  Hopefully they will do well with her church mother's for Easter.  And speaking of Easter, I went into Burlington Coat Factory and found a plush Hello Kitty Basket for $18.  Which is crazy cause I searched online and found one for $9.  We shall see if I get one. 

Back to my search for a hello kitty pendant idea we shall see.... 

I know that I am rambling on, but I found a project online where they cut a hello kitty face out of a soda can.  Maybe I will find out how they do that.... 

Until I find my new project I am going to try and make a Hello Kitty face pendant out of wire.  I saw an image where they shaped a paper clip into hello kitty's face.  Again, we shall see.
