Purple Pendant

I created this wrapped pendant couple months ago. The cabochon was also from Wire Scuplture but smaller than before (see My First Wrap Pendant). I do no know what kind of stone that I used here since I am still learning about gemstones, and Wire Sculpture did not list down all names of stones they sent (just informed as Gemstone Cabochon Assortment). So, it can be Ametrine? Or Fluorite? Anyway, I like the color.

My First Creation 2007

I made this at the first workshop I took at Istana Mote, Jakarta in March 2007. It was very difficult for me since I never tried wire work before. But after, the result was amazing...

Swarovski is really beautiful. Together with fresh water pearls, they formed into a very beautiful necklace.

Jewelry Making Workshop in Indonesia

I made a list of places and persons that can provide jewelry making workshop in Indonesia. I compiled the data from M2C mailing list and also from browsing around... For more information, please contact them, not me. I will update my list every time I receive new informations.

Please click here for downloading my list. It is in PDF format.

Wire Work Pendant

Not easy, not easy... That's the only thing that I can say after I learned and tried to create pendants, clasps, etc with wire. And now I give more appreciation to professional artists and jewelry makers who do wire works. Keep up your good works, guys! I need to learn more from you all...

Beautiful Jacinthes

Oh la la... Beautiful flower and beautiful girl...

My daughter was very happy when her Jacinthes became so so beautiful. "It smells very good too, Mama", she said. And we did not want to lose the moment.

La Neige

This is something that I missed. I forgot to post this page in Flair and in here. Better late than never... :)

The photos were taken during our visit to my parents-in-law for Easter Holiday. And, the day became very special for us because finally my daughter could see the snow. Oui, she never touched it before.

The snow on Easter Day, not on Christmas Day... The first snow we met during our stay here.

Boulangerie

I got an assignment from my language class to find out some breads, cakes and anything that are sold in the 'boulangerie and 'patisserie'..

What is the difference between a 'baguette' and a 'flûte'? Je ne sais pas... What is the 'pain complet'? The 'pain blanc'? Une ficelle? Oh la la...! Many things that I need to learn here... But it was interesting for me.

Herewith the boulangerie page to be shared with you...

Welcome Spring!

I can not express how much I love to see flowers everywhere now. Welcome spring!

I enjoyed the beautiful views when my family spent days at my parents'-in-law's city. My daughter? She could not wait to play around. Sunshine was nice, petite flowers were cute, green grass was beautiful...

My First Cab Pendant

I tried hard to create this pendant. Three hours of painful fingers...

I bought the materials from Wire Scuplture and I received the home business package 2 days after the order thru the internet. I watched the DVD to learn, after that I tried to wrap a cameo. But I failed! I tried again with a cab and with the technique from Tumbleweed Glass Studio. Hmm... I think it is better for me to wrap cabochon than cameo. See the result, not bad, right?

I want to try again and again. Will not give up!
